JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Ripped off taxpayers, scumbag, please explain the rest of the story.

As to the reason we keep reelecting Bud, I suspect is because there is minimal damage that he creates and he is supportive of the areas industrial development, over internationalism, which equates to jobs locally.
