It is said to be unlikely anything will change when we are given just the choice between dumb and dumber.  Actually, our politicians aren't so much dumb as greedy.  Democrats pass laws that are good for Democrats.  The Republicans are just as bad.  Neither side worries enough about America.  Both sides grow rich.  Becoming a Congressman is pretty much a lifetime job that takes a lot of money and makes a lot of money.   Perhaps it's time to start another war…

 

Read what Peggy Noonan writes today.

"We are at a remarkable moment. We have an open, 2,000-mile border to our south, and the entity with the power to enforce the law and impose safety and order will not do it. Wall Street collapsed, taking Main Street's money with it, and the government can't really figure out what to do about it because the government itself was deeply implicated in the crash, and both political parties are full of people whose political careers have been made possible by Wall Street contributions. Meanwhile we pass huge laws, bills so comprehensive, omnibus and transformative that no one knows what's in them and no one—literally, no one—knows how exactly they will be executed or interpreted. Citizens search for new laws online, pore over them at night, and come away knowing no more than they did before they typed "dot-gov."
