Jonson was a sleeper Swamp creature.
Stockman gets it right.
May it be so.
“...its needs to be splintered into a thousand pieces and swept into the dustbin of history. “
Every fake “conservative” party in the West needs the same.

Stockman WILL NEVER BE RIGHT ABOUT ANYTHING. HE IS A JERK.

Look, nobody ever heard of this guy before he was nominated as the best we could get that that squish-uniparty GOP would vote for, so who the hell is surprised?

The thing about David Stockman is he’s a little like Icarus - someone who has fallen from great heights of success, plumbing new lows every step of the way, to the point he is competing with Martin Armstrong the convicted Ponzi felon for newsletter subscribers. He went from Reagan budget director to Salomon partner to Blackstone bigwig to failed vulture fund to newsletter writer.
Then he wrote a book, entitled “Peak Trump: The Undrainable Swamp And The Fantasy Of MAGA” in which he called Trump “a political flyweight, megalomaniacal incompetent and bile-ridden bully who stumbled into the Oval Office”. He further wrote of Trump: “(H)is embrace of what amounts to crackpot economics has not only left the nation spiraling toward the mother of all financial disasters. He has also finally euthanized what remained of GOP fiscal rectitude.”
Stockman was quoted as referring to Reagan’s tax act in these terms: “I mean, Kemp-Roth [Reagan’s 1981 tax cut] was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate.... It’s kind of hard to sell ‘trickle down.’ So the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really ‘trickle down.’ Supply-side is ‘trickle-down’ theory.”[7] Of the budget process during his first year on the job, Stockman was quoted as saying, “None of us really understands what’s going on with all these numbers,” which was used as the subtitle of the article.[7]
After “being taken to the woodshed by the president”[8] because of his candor with Greider, Stockman became concerned with the projected trend of increasingly large federal deficits and the rapidly expanding national debt. On August 1, 1985, he resigned from OMB and later wrote a memoir of his experience in the Reagan Administration titled The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed in which he specifically criticized the failure of congressional Republicans to endorse a reduction of government spending to offset large tax decreases to avoid the creation of large deficits and an increasing national debt.]
Betrayal? We could cut all aid and the entire Military Budget outside of healtchare, and we would still be in debt. Stockman has always been a putz
David Stockman was still alive? I had hoped he was long ago dead.
Hello speaker hakeem.
When Republicans get an ideological majority, they can choose a speaker who will oppose Ukrane funding no matter what. Until they do, rule or ruin by the right will lead to ruin because we don’t have the votes.
Judas Johnson is just pure evil.

Far too many of the “Republican” office holders are loyal to the Democratic Party.
Johnson took a stand with the Maoists to prove the government is ran by one party only.
