“Marx and engles wrote “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs” but the Americanized version is “from those who can and do, to those who could but won’t...why should they when they can employ the police power of government to TAKE IT from those who can and do and GIVE IT to those who could....but won’t”

Do we accept that GOP leadership is rotten to its core or just off course?

************************************************************

I think Mitch McConnell, enriched by $36,000,000.00 from China, IS prima facie evidence that GOP Leadership IS “rotten to it’s core”.

The U.S. Senate must be reformed by an Article V Convention of the States. Six years is too long for them to serve. A Four year term is sufficient to slow down improvident legislation. The lame duck sessions of Congress must be limited, both by shortening the term, limiting what can be done in such lame duck sessions, and requiring things like spending bills passed in them to be ratified by the next Congress.

The U.S. badly needs reform, but I don’t know that Trump is the guy to lead that charge. He is too concerned with the image of “winning” that he doesn’t want to be associated with reforms that may not pass at first.

Democracy will self destruct soon as people discover they can vote themselves benefits at the expense of their neighbors. Alex DE Tocqueville. Government are what economists call an incentive trap. Everyone except the worst lunkheads like AOC can realize that we can't go on like this . But no one can agree on what should be cut. People have a strong incentive to fight against cuts that affect them but only a weak incentive to fight against increased government spending in general because his share of the costs are tiny

We need a new political party because the GOP is too compromised. Burn it down politically and start over.

Once sociaiism becomes the government du jour, kiss the nanny goodbye. Witness cuba and Venezuela.

First step to socialism was under Wilson.

Next was FDR and the so called New Deal.

Then the next big move was the so called Great Society.

Bammycare has pretty much solidified socialism in this country. When gubmint controls your health care they control you.

ESG/DIE will finish off the Republic.
