And she said it with a straight face, which even I can’t do.

The Founders would have never stood for it.

and so, rather than how it is when i pointed this out a long time ago and was argued to, now you experience it. we only can listen to it. they think we or some of we are taken in by it.

“… this prevaricating woman, who proves the “Peter Principle” everyday …”

====================

That seems to be the overriding theme of this administration, don’t you think? They have ALL risen past their level of incompetence.

And, this administration pretty much demonstrates
(1) the POWER of crony politics
(2) the vainglorious STUPIDITY of crony politics

It would be laughable –this cadre of stumblebums attempting to manage the affairs of the strongest, richest, most free and most just nation in the history of the world– EXCEPT that they in their power-drunk hubris are passing laws right and left that will CONTINUE the degradation of this country.
It’s not just the rapid increase in the size of government , it’s the “panels of experts” tucked into these 2000+ page bills that nobody in Congress reads before passing (*). These “panels” create the same odious condition as exists in the EU: nameless bureaucrats making decisions for which there is NO REDRESS. These unelected panels are chosen by –whom? Their qualifications are –what? They are paid –how much? Who supervises their work? Who can fire them? What are their guidelines? There’s no mechanism to publicize their deliberations on the policies they make, and no way for the public to have any voice in those deliberations. These panels are “government by fiat” –tyranny– in tiny little snap-together pieces. Bad, bad, BAD idea.

(*) This needs to be regarded as not just malfeasance (thereby subjecting those legislators to recall); this needs to be regarded as TREASON and punishable by firing squad. THAT possibility might turn the attention of those grandstanders in Congress to actually DOING THEIR FRICKIN’ JOBS.

Unemployment benefits should not only be extended, they should be doubled!

Wait, I have an idea — let’s double everybody’s pay! Woot! Good times! I’m thinking now what I’ll do with my new higher income.

I’m surprised the brilliant democrat economic strategerist haven’t recommended every American cut the grass of his neighbor to his left for a thousand dollars. That way we get full employment, a handsome wage and America is once again a wealthy country!

SteveH, please don’t post stuff like this. The Dems will adopt it as a plank, and the rubes will be high-fiving each other that their ship has come in.

Have everyone in the country quit their jobs and receive unemployment benefits and spend the money quickly. Within a few weeks, this huge jobs creative force will reduce unemployment to zero

Reduce unemployment to zero? A calamity earnestly to be avoided! Then the engine driving the economy will sputter, as all those employed people will save some rather than spending every penny, reducing the velocity of money. Then we’ll have to fire them all to get the economy moving again.
