a mandate, with all that political capital to spend? Well, Shrub spent it alright - right into bankruptcy like every other business he's tried to run. Just like he’s done with the surplus give-a-way to those poor, starving billionaires who wouldn’t have survived without their tax breaks. My little measley tax break got sucked up in the gas tank to fund some fat-cat’s $400,000,000,000 retirement bonus! So, have you been “trickled down on” enough?

A 32% approval rating - is it a mandate yet?
