Mike Pence to Limbaugh: you gotta grow government at home

Seems like only yesterday. 2010, Mike Pence was one of the “fiscal conservative” leaders in Congress that yanked the gavel out of Nancy Pelosi’s hand in a history mid-term election. That election wiped out 60+ Democrats in the House, gained several Senate seats, and flipped state run governments from Democrat to Republican for the first time ever. Now that Mike Pence is the Vice President, he’s actually talk about GROWING government at home in a disastrous interview with Rush Limbaugh.

RUSH: If this is what happens, Mr. Vice President, why vote Republican? What is the point of voting Republican if the Democrats are gonna continue to win practically 95% of their objectives, such as in this last budget deal?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, look, respectfully, Rush, I actually think this was, as the president said a little a while ago, I think this was actually a clear win for the American people. Look, you’ve had Washington, D.C., that has been, you know, paralyzed by gridlock and partisan infighting for many years, and in this new president you have someone who was able to bring people together and make a $21 billion increase in defense spending at a time of great challenge for America’s interests around the world. And that’s a — you know, he spoke about that today, surrounded by a lot of great members of the United States Air Force. And it was also a piece for years, Democrats in Washington insisted that any increase in defense spending would be matched with an increase in domestic spending.
So you gotta grow government at home if you’re gonna, you know, invest in our national defense. This ended that. I mean, in a very real sense this was a game-changer because we’re just back to putting the safety, security, and the national defense of the American people first, and I think it sends, having just traveled around the Asian-Pacific representing the president over the last couple of weeks, I think this sends a decisive message to the world that under President Trump’s leadership we’re gonna make the strongest military in history even stronger.

I don’t want to see Democrats in control of anything in the government ever again. But at this point, what’s the purpose of voting for a Republican for anything other than the reason I just mentioned? I mean, what difference at this point does it take being a Democrat or Republican?
