Steve Miller/GrampiesAh, Joni Ernst, Republican from Iowa. Famous for "We are all going to die", in response to the risks of Medicaid cuts. This is not even an original evil remark, since Scrooge came out with "then let them die and decrease the surplus population", which is a quote from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, spoken by Ebenezer Scrooge in response to the suggestion that some poor people would rather die than rely on charitable institutions like workhouses.

Scott AndersonTo Steve Miller/GrampiesThanks for that. I hadn't heard that Dickens painted her portrait first, but I'm not surprised. I grew up on Dickens and I think read well over half of his complete works. Reply to this comment 3 weeks ago
