Stockman is a grownup who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. Washington’s corridors of power are largely inhabited children can do no other than persist in the audacity of hope and nonsensical economic models. Of course, there are also a few cynical demagogues who know full well what they are doing as they exploit the foolishness of voters and colleagues. As Stockman explains, both parties are guilty of childish nonsense and demagoguery.
Washington’s corridors of power are largely inhabited by low information lawmakers (Democrats) who vote for laws they have not read, who mindlessly support laws that are unworkable, and who persist in the audacity of hope and nonsensical economic models.
They know nothing more than name calling, character assassination, blaming you, and skipping disagreeable things like fiscal responsibility because they can borrow, print money, and raise taxes.
