We’ve Proved That Communism Works

Post by Nightshade »

Really? We have? For whom exactly?

Dem Congressman: ‘We’ve Proved That Communism Works’
Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught red-handed (or is it yellow-fingered?) in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of federal immigration workers is proof that “Communism works.”

Garcia made the comment during a Google hangout he convened last week to talk about comprehensive immigration reform with supporters. The Democrat attempted to point out how, for all their talk about limited government, many Republicans are fine spending loads of government money on border security.

“Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” he said. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?”

“And two of the safest cities in America, two of them are on the border with Mexico,” Garcia continued. “And of course, the reason is we’ve proved that Communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”

Of course he later said he 'didn't really mean it.' Freudian much?

He was making fun of the huge amount of money they have spent. He mentioned the negative return on the investment etc.
Also, I don't know what list he is using but El Paso is not the safest city. It doesn't even make the top 100 on numerous lists that I've seen.

He seemed to be talking in circles. Congressman.
