There, I said it . . . NO CONFIDENCE VOTE. Let’s have one.
A national election is scheduled for next year anyway. We can kill multiple birds with one stone. That’s there is whatcha call Efficiency. Government doesn’t know anything about Efficiency. That’s ‘cuz Officials spend Other People’s Money.
Theory has become so much more fashionable than reality that I have been backed into the corner of having to adopt a few of my own. One is that — heresy, I know — the only thing that is Rocket Science is rocket science. Another is that people who reflexively dismiss solutions to abiding problems with a rendition of “It’s more complicated than you realize” are either stupid or insincere.
By EVERY measure, America’s plight is worsening at breakneck speed. Even IF our Government were competent, setting aside boatloads of empirical evidence to the contrary, their “remedies” don’t kick in for months and months.

McCain AND Feingold can kiss my ass. ESPECIALLY “Zipper Problem” McCain, who ditched his long-suffering wife for a Budweiser Distributorship Heiress, and who was to the Enron debacle what Dodd/Frank are to the Fannie/Freddie debacle. The Enron debacle that attended the S & L Crisis, just like the Fannie/Freddie debacle attends the Financial Crisis. Crisis, like it HIT us. Like Katrina. I implore my gullible and forgetful countrymen to recall that this is a MANMADE disaster.
Let us call a spade a spade, for a Change, and admit the REALITY that Government is up to its eyeballs in bullshit. The good news is, there’s not a damn thing that can’t be fixed with the tools we’ve got.
Some of them were pricks in their own ways — let us be candid about that, too — but no intelligent person can doubt that our Founding Fathers had a MUCH better game plan than do the current leaders-I-use-the-term-just-as-loosely-as-can-be. It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about getting back to basics.
Let us roll up our sleeves and start shoveling the shit. No one else is going to do it for us.
