In past elections, he has voted Republican. He probably doesn't know why.

Anyway, the Newark Star-Ledger editorial quoted St. Mitch, the Patron Saint of Billionaires, as saying the problem with the deficit is entitlements. It then went on the point out that there will be an automatic 25% reduction in SS payments if the SS deficit is not addressed by 2033.

"They want to give me 25% less? Fuck them!"

Me: "Bob, I've been trying to explain Republicans to you for 35 years."
