    There is good, functional government and bad, dysfunctional/nonfunctional government. Too big or too small are both descriptions of a bad, dysfunctional government. Nobody cares what the relative mass if of a good government. I think that means a good government is probably elastic and flexible. Ours is not.

    Here, we agree.

    I think it’s 50/50, at best. But the Dems are going to let him stay out there until they know who they want.

    My opinion on his situation is the same as it was with Kavanaugh: This is a nation of hundreds of millions. Nobody is entitled to these positions, and they are supposed to be positions of service anyway. It isn't calling him guilty to move on to someone with no such pre-existing claim against them.

    Their plan to get rid of him is to place a blue rug with the presidential seal in his home office and tell him he won the election already. Give him a bunch of papers to sign every day. Set up a podium and a dead camera in his garden for him to give addresses.

    Absolutely.

    Its amazing how much people complain about the government but are then quick to want more involvement from them. They re not getting any smarter or any less crooked than they have been. They can't save you.

    The problem with government, at least American government, is that it is too much of a mix of power hungry people and those who didn't get a job in private sector out of college that now get to make the rules.

    You are rarely going to have a good government, large or small, with that combo of people.

    Ours has done of really good job of selling you the idea that you need them to survive. Not the government as a general idea but the individual politician.

    "Good government" rarely has career politicians at its foundation. Ours have figured out not only how to $urvive but thrive.

    Lots of truth here. Lots.

    I’d only add that we also have a system where government is entirely too susceptible to bending to the desires of the powerful and special interests, who are too often allowed to write and re-write their own rules.

    So listening to the Joe Rogan show today the news about how poison control calls spiked after Trumps comments was fake news.

    Poison control calls have spiked since March due to the increase in people buying household cleaners, but has nothing to do with trumps comments

    I love how this is bringing Democrats down to the level of the sad GOP. Crazy how easy that was to do.

    Always easy to do when both are always on the same level.
