Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Which Mitch?

 The economy is suffering because we have largely left Covid responses to local and state governments. We have no national strategy, but we also know the fall and winter were always going to be hard. We are within sight of a vaccine that will get us out of this.

The Senate is pushing through judges and tried to push through a quack economist to the Federal Reserve board. They do not appear to be interested in helping millions of Americans get unemployment relief.

If McConnell were to schedule a vote, it would pass. Maybe he will pass something to help win the GA Senate races? Regardless, this is yet another stunning example of the failure of the GOP as a legislative party.
