It's always like that. For years the conservatives have been telling us that government is "the problem not the solution" and then when something goes wrong they want to know why the government isn't doing anything (of course, that's a question they only ask when Democrats are in power). It cracked me up to see LA governor Bobby Jindal railing against the federal government during the oil spill. Wasn't this the same guy who was railing against "wasteful" government programs like volcano monitoring during one of his speeches? Why is he suddenly pissed off that the federal government isn't sending enough aid? Couldn't oil spill cleanup assistance also be considered "wasteful" big government spending? Doesn't the mighty and virtuous free market have all the answers to every problem?
