As a senator, Republican Phil Gramm often called for reductions in taxes and fraud in government spending. He employed his "Mark Robinson Test" ("Is it worth taking it out of Mark’s pocket?") to determine if federal programs were worthwhile. Mark Robinson owns a family-run printing business Mexia, NC, and is a longtime Gramm supporter.[12]

Definitely satire.
