text: The Honorable Lt. Governor Byron Mallot;
  
  Excellent, it has taken far too long for important Democrats to call out the false & phony slogans that have driven republican ideology since Pres. Reagan's big lie that government is the problem.  In those decades slogans such as "cut waste, fraud & abuse" have echoed again & again without their finding any examples, other false accusations aimed at honorable government workers as in they are "underworked & overpaid" resulted in countless workers finding their career path stymied, promotions unavailable while their managers had to jump thru political hoops to defend their missions and workers.
  
  In their effort to defend those who fund them, they have become so oppositional that they can no longer offer or develop policies or ideas.  They permit lobbyists to write the bills & regulations.  Protecting the truly rich means not raising sufficient revenue to properly operate our Republic, they are more interested in holding power and by any means.
