If Joe and the people pulling his strings call it a great leap forward, you can bet it will be a great leap backwards. Joe is more dangerous today than he was only a few days ago. Now that he isn’t running for reelection he doesn’t have anything restraining him. His handlers will try to ram through their dumbest ideas. Hopefully they will fail.

As is Mao’s Great Leap Forward is derisively called in China: The Great Leap Backward, wherein people made worthless steel ingots, while Mao sold China’s entire supply of grain to show how productive his Red China had become - that millions starved was of no account. During the course of the Leap, all of China’s traditional culture was destroyed, books, buildings, people - to the point that no one living today knows traditional Shaolin Kung Fu.
