Notes and Quotes From Your Political Class
by: Walter "Bruno" Korschek
It's always fun following our political class because you never know what they will say or what they will do that either makes no sense, is embarrassing, or has very little impact on the average American. Consider some of their recent escapades:
- "Stating The Obvious" - Former President Bill Clinton was quoted in a September 21, 2010 Associated Press article: "Do you know how many political and economic decisions are made in this world by people who don't know what in the living daylights they are talking about?" Talk about stating the obvious. Given our continuing domestic economic situation and the fact that the political class has not solved a major issue in decades, I would say Mr. Clinton nailed this one perfectly.
- "And Who Is Responsible For This Mess?" - Democratic Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado was quoted in a Washington Post article on September 3, 2010: "We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet. In my view, we have nothing to show for it." The article went on to say that the good Senator voted "yes" on the economic stimulus bill, the health care overhaul bill, increased education funding and other bills that a Democratic Party-controlled Congress passed on his watch.
The economic stimulus bill has gotten us 9.8% unemployment while wasting hundreds of billions of dollars, the health care overhaul bill is already coming apart and as is its prediction of reducing the national debt, our public schools for the most part do not educate, and no major issues have been solved for the $13 trillion. Looks like the Senator's keen insight is very compatible with Bill Clinton's experience.
