A Nod To The Gods

Maybe, maybe not. But it may take more than elections.

Brazen public corruption will only stop when forced. Talking…complaining…dissecting are warmly welcomed by the political class — because it means you’re not prepared to force.  The political class is reassured by your talking & complaining, and hopes it goes on forever………

I don’t care if this is commonly done by all Presidents, it is a practice that needs to stop.

Well if it’s not it should be. Notice how he mentions how Obamacare is keeping the expensive healthcare model in place and adding bureaucracy. Common sense is hard to argue, political greed and corruption is the only thing standing in the way.

The proper solution to the crisis resulting from enormously expensive healthcare is not to leave the expensive business model in place and then finance it with tax money, but to cause its price to implode to affordable levels by removing all the state-enforced monopolies and institutional frameworks that make it so expensive. Imagine a society where one of Pfizer’s $10 pills cost fifty cents, an MRI was $250, outpatient treatments and tests were covered by $70/month dues at a cooperative clinic, and catastrophic insurance was $50/month. That’s what we’d have if corporate-state collusion and monopoly were replaced by competitive markets and horizontal cooperation.

Before you make something “free,” think long and hard; you may also be making it compulsory.

I don’t even know what to say. This is the leader of the free world?
Sad.

Great piece about both parties, and I agree completely. The money shot is the last two sentences. Here’s a small excerpt:

That sounds a lot like the past. I’m fond of saying that there’s a lot of money to be made off the poor. If you doubt that, I can take you for a ghetto tour of Baltimore and DC. There you will find Korean retail stores operating in places that would cause Half Sigma to rush to his fainting couch. I’m talking about the hard thumping ghettos. The Koreans open cash business like liquor stores, laundromats and convenience stores. Then you have the check cashing joints and the paycheck loan guys. Of course, there’s an army of social services parasites making fat salaries off the tax payer to run the welfare industrial complex. The best business in America is ghetto business. There’s never been a recession.

He is speaking of the new politician who makes money off the poor, keeps them poor, runs them out of town, and enjoys their support the entire time.

The truly amazing accomplishment of that cult, which grew up on Rue Saint-Jacques so long ago, is  they loath and despise the people, yet rally them to their banner. Those culturally sensitive types bankrolling the Hindu lawyer are carefully chasing the brown people out of their city. It takes skill and ideological fervor to preach about tolerance from you monochromatic compound and actually get the support of the people you expressly prohibit from entering. It makes me think stuff like this is probably not an accident. The Sino-Semitic push to ethnically cleanse the city comes with a rainbow flag and promises to fight those right-wing bible thumpers who fled the city a century ago.
