"suddenly Big Government is supposed to fix everything. Right after they cut your taxes."
Rescue Me Big Daddy
"Atlanta mayor blames school systems, commuters for gridlocked roads."
I'm not sure what exactly prompted that CNN chyron, but the mayor's getting completely grilled on how he failed to wave his magic wand and clear the streets. I have no idea if there's anything that could have realistically been done to improve the situation, but it's amusing that when things go wrong suddenly Big Government is supposed to fix everything. Right after they cut your taxes.
