republican binomial

repubs are hacking at government waste.  chop chop chop. cuttin' broad, cuttin' deep, tax cuts for the wealthy.  sacrifice, across the board.  seems the gopers don't abide the notion of a clear example of useless bureaucratic government overreach: poison control centers.  obama asked for twenty nine mil, house repubs offer up two.  two.  you can see the thinking, of course.  thinking that stems from being, as once described, "cocooned in a comforting, gauzy prophylactic space, one both opaque to the real environment and reflective of their own pampered, perverted weltanshauung." so, repubs are thinking -- and this must be a guess because i'm not sure thinking means what republicans think it means -- that, hey,
this is amuricka. we don't get poisoned here.  we poison other people in other countries.  this? this is free market freedom land. no one gets poisoned here because the free market will not, ex post facto, allow it! this is what we believe and, of course, nothing else matters.  therefore, we do not need the worthless government poison control centers. what do these places do? there is no poison floating aimlessly about the country, needing "control," a stalinist term if ever there was one.  that president obama even has poison control centers is an affront to every american.
like i said, a guess.

so, what is it?  government bathtub assassination conspiracy? or "cocooned in a comforting, gauzy prophylactic space, one both opaque to the real environment and reflective of their own pampered, perverted weltanshauung"? so hard to tell.
