Facts and logic have no place in a political discussion like that, come on.

I have a 2012 GMC Acadia Denali and love it.
Traded a Tahoe on it and the only advantage it had over the Acadia was towing and ride height.
Acadia > Tahoe on mileage, usability, ride and price.

If both sides are being honest, FDR and Lyndon Johnson set us down the path of dependency.
GWB and Obama have just gone above and beyond in their efforts to take us past the point of no return in terms of fiscal sustainability and dependency among our lower class voters.

BS, it all comes down to whether or not the ACC loses the lawsuit against Maryland.
If they do the ACC will be gutted, if not, things probably stay the same for a little while.
