Mitch McConnell is a real leader. Not because I think he is the brightest egg in the crate but he seems to be leading the gridlock effort. Mitch is either a master at conflation and fogging or someone writes his talking points and he is too un-inquisitive to wonder if there is any logic involved.
I heard him today stating one of those hard rules that are not based on anything other than someone's opinion. People who live by "hard and fast" rules must have never played team sports. He seems to think the answer to everything lies in the ratio of government spending and Gross Domestic Product.
There is something inflexible and unrealistic in thinking that ratio must be a always at one figure of 20%. The fact is is has not been at 20% since 1937. It's a little like saying that whenever they play Tiger Woods must always be 2 strokes ahead of Phil Michelson or the golfing world will go to hell in a hand basket. Of course now that the Republicans are out of power concern about the National Debt will become something they "invented." When actually it looks to me like their party was the one that invented National Dept as an actuality.
I like when people can stand by their principals but I like even more when people can take stock of their principals and see when they need adjusting. Now is the time Mitch to understand that ratios must change for the greater good.
Gross Domestic Product is taking a huge hit. as you can see here. Does Mitch ever stop to think maybe it's the business community that's failing and the government is helping the country succeed. If they want GDP to grow when will we see more jobs and less insistence on tax cuts.
I for one am glad the government is creating jobs in the "private" sector and if Mitch McConnell (Republican Senate Leader "The Mr. Spock of pond scum) , Eric Cantor (Republican Wimp) and John Boehner (House Minority Leader & Head of Bluster) all put their heads together they might understand the folly of their position.
