Democrats Need to Become the Party of Building Things
15th July 2022
Fareed Zakaria spends too much time breathing his own exhaust. (He’s a Yalie. That’s what he was trained to do.)
Democrats don’t build things. They’re good at destroying things (like Confederate statues). They’re great at spending money (especially YOUR money). They’re outstanding at using YOUR money to buy the votes of simple-minded or venal people who are ready, willing, and able to support the Party of Free Stuff.
The only answer they have to any question is SPEND MONEY. (Not their money, other people’s money.) Their Golden Age was the Depression, in which Franklin Roosevelt took an ordinary regularly occurring economic downturn and stretched it out over a decade (in which he got to be President for twelve years, which would have been sixteen if he hadn’t died). The motto of the Democrats is, and always has been, “Tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect.” That’s the only thing they do well, and they do it well enough to make life miserable for the rest of us.
‘Pronouns’ are the least of our problems.
