Discernable Differences

During Saturday’s evening newscast on local ABC affiliate, KOAT 7, there was a question posed to both candidates seeking to be New Mexico’s next State Auditor. The question was in regard to shrinking state agency budgets and how each candidate would work with this reality. This was an instructive moment in that it proved to be an effective delineation between democrat and Republican governing policies. Republican candidate Errol Chavez’s argument was that the State Auditor’s office must do more with less. Democrat Hector Balderas’ argument was that the state would suffer irreparable harm from current funding to the State Auditor and that it should receive more money.

And that’s it in a nutshell. Gimme gimme gimme, more more more is the sum of democrat policy. Everything is never enough and if cuts come or funding doesn’t increase the apocalypse will ensue and of course police, firemen and the children always suffer the most.
