I thought Simpson was Republican?
oops.
He was/is/still might be (in name only). Simpson's strong point always was that he had a sense of humor, not that his politics were right.
The old sh!t spent years and years in the senate helping generate the mess we are in now, and thinks he has a good idea to recover ... when pigs can whistle.
I fear that, unless new thinking arrives soon, the only out will be after total collapse.
