Cat food, Baby!!!

Paul Krugman:

[W]hen the tax fight is over, one way or another, you can be sure that the people currently defending the incomes of the elite will go back to demanding cuts in Social Security and aid to the unemployed. America must make hard choices, they’ll say; we all have to be willing to make sacrifices. But when they say “we,” they mean “you.” Sacrifice is for the little people.
Meanwhile, back in D.C., the congresscritters will sit on their fat asses enjoying all their many perks and bribes while they make sure that their fortunes increase at the expense of the poorest among us.

Raven is certainly Cat FOOD; but what's the condiment. Salt for the raven's tail for US cats to catch and Eat CROW or spirits to render US CATATONIC? Let's lipstick it to DEM!

I love it!
Republicans and sacrifice: when they say 'we,' they mean 'you.'

A corollary.
Republicans and tax breaks: when they say we, 'we' only includes themselves.
