Didn’t actually read this thread, did you DJF? There’s not a SINGLE ONE in your latter category. Every response is a stern condemnation of this idiotic plan.
Actually, I did read the thread and noticed exactly what you pointed out.
But that is not really the point I’m trying to make. To politicize this in any way is a bad idea, period. A bad idea is a bad idea no matter what side of the aisle it comes from. And if the Dems do come up with a good idea (which I agree is rare), then they should be applauded for same.
I personally think that the political model has failed us. A large amount of the bad legislation that came about happened during a Republican congress. Nafta, Gatt, etc.
Anyone who adheres to the idea (all Dems are deluded, all Republicans are honest warriors) is being played like a cheap fiddle.
We need something better. We need a better measure of whether government is doing it’s job. We’ve payed billions of dollars for OSHA, etc, and now we just import our lead from the Chinese. The border is NONEXISTENT!! Education... education... let’s not even go there. :-(
We need ideas. We need people to be honest. We need ATTAINABLE goals.
We don’t need bigger government. We don’t need more cops with tasers.
