@jimgoodall So, his family lives in Nashville, he hasn’t paid the property taxes on his place in Crossville in two years, and he’s claiming per diem for the commute? Isn’t it amazing how the party of “small government,” with their tears over the “taxpayers’ money,” are also always the ones with their fingers deepest in the till?

It is _wild_ out there right now.
