We have the absolute worst Ruling Class.
This is the deal that third generation shrub Bush made to get Congress to go along with the invasion of Iraq - he got to invade Iraq and the left got any [every]thing they wanted in exchange including, now, control of what was the world's foremost military. Nothing immoderate about this dry drunk.
If I recall correctly, that is the meaning of “kakistocracy”, that is, being ruled by the worst members of society.
