Yes, it's official. Rick Santorum is in, and he has his own billionaire to help defray expenses. That's right, folks. Rick Santorum's faux populism is brought to you by none other than Foster Friess!

"As middle America is hollowing out, we can't sit idly by as big government politicians make it harder for our workers and then turn around and blame them for losing jobs overseas. American families don't need another president tied to big government or big money," said the man who is being financed by one of a handful of elite billionaires.

"Today is the day we are going to begin to fight back."

Also, he claimed he wasn't going to focus on social issues this time around, which proves that he's just another cynical player on the gravy train. He has learned the formula from the 2010 and 2014 midterms, where Republicans swore that if they were elected, they'd focus on jobs and the economy.

Instead, they've passed abortion bans, ripped the social safety net to tatters, and wasted time on open carry and "religious freedom" laws.

What will it take for this country to wake up and figure out who lies to them every damn day?
