I know the government moves at the speed of government, but that's a fucking lifetime of a glacial pace for anyone hoping for improvement. Especially in an economy where more and more people are rapidly approaching that "paycheck to paycheck to barely make bills" point.

It speaks wildly of how out of touch this loser is that he thinks its impressive to accomplish that over the course of most of a decade of work, and that spacing it out over that much time actually translated to real change for anyone who needed that change.

Heck, in the time it took them to accomplish it they probably gained more than that, meaning they only slowed the bloat instead of reducing it.
