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.

Gerontocracy Cost Us America's Solvency

 The exceedingly awful bill to destroy America's debt, credit worthiness, currency and civic governance has passed the House.

By one vote.

Meanwhile, three Democratic House members have died since January, because both the voters and the party can't seem to understand that anyone in poor health and advanced years needs to step aside. They are not indispensable.

If it takes some sort of Party Retirement Program whereby they can still advise the caucus (and draw an income, I guess) then let's make that happen.

But all our hopes now move to the Senate, which is a terrifying idea.
