Your response is exactly why I see you different from folks like Archie or Copper.  Both would have refused to believe me and would have just accused me of being a shill for big oil.  Goofy would have posted a picture of Trump's hair, mostly because he is just that, Goofy.  But he is occasionally mildly amusing which is why I read his posts.  Thanks for restoring my faith.

I will say for the record that I don't like the optics of Pruitt's spending but based on what I've read he is no different than others that take these govt jobs.  I don't know what's in the water in DC but it seems to corrupt even the most ardent fiscal hawk over time.  But as with many things, we are more willing to overlook the profligacy of someone that is pursuing our ideological goals and decry the profligacy of those that don't.  Human nature I guess and makes us all a bit of a hypocrite at times.  And of course we don't like being lectured by the other side that does the same thing.
