The Wonderous 'Logic' of Washington

Only inside the beltway are people capable of believing that spending increases and more borrowing will solve an economic meltdown caused by excessive spending and excessive leverage.

This is a mindset shared with drunks who believes more alcohol will set everything right and inquisition torturers who believes that tightening the rack an additional notch or two will bring forth a truthful confession.

Our government has come to resemble a one trick pony: spending money is all that it knows how to do; therefore it mindlessly throws good money after bad . . . down every rat hole it sees as an opportunity or a problem. Furthermore, it's always a crisis . . . and there never is any time to spare. The spending and borrowing has to be approved RIGHT NOW . . . before anybody has a chance to think about the insanity of what is being proposed.
