Your post certainly made me think. But I think that doing small damage over and over does not solve the long term problems. It would be smarter raise the foundation and install storm shutters. This Country needs to change direction, not just go down the same road slower.
It would threrfore be a brilliant move to let Obama win???
God save us from this twisted logic.
The road disappeared in 2008.
Yes, but you don’t start raising the foundation the day before the storm hits.
Using your house analogy, more accurately IMHO:
Is it better, when there is some termite damage in the house, to take out the rotten timbers, replace with new wood, and apply Timbor to kill the remaining termites?
Or burn it to the ground, bulldoze the smoking ruin aside, and hope to build a better one after?
Any rational person sees that the first choice is the rational choice. Fire may not stop with the house, the trees may catch, all the landscaping, maybe even the garage, and precious belongings will burn, along with the still useful parts of the house. You’ll be homeless for a long time, too.
Use your brain.
