Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
True, the Republican Party seemed bent on shutting the
government down over a showdown on Obamacare, but let’s consider the Democratic
Prime Alternative:
Letting the Republican Party shut down the government over a
showdown on Obamacare.
Yeah, that is their solution. Don’t fix things, just let the
other party implode and reap the political rewards, scant as they may be in an
institution that has an overall approval rating of 10 percent. Way to be,
Congress!
Which means – no surprise here – that both parties are
imploding. One is tilting at windmills, while the other is less interested in
action than letting the other party tilt at windmills for perceived political
gain. Nothing that’s going to help the country. Nothing that’s going to solve
any problems. Just stuff that’s going to score political points.
Armageddon, the Constitution hanging by a thread, the doom
of the Republic, is not going to come from any certain bit of legislation, nor
from one certain political party. It’s going to come when politics and
score-keeping and political point-making is the end, not the sideline, to what
Congress and the president do.
So, we’re there folks.
Congress (and I mean both political parties) and the
president, metaphorically, have gone for what’s in the box.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Stupid! Stupid! You’re so stupid!
