This is my theory of how the Rs got into trouble, actually. They told their "all Ds are traitors" and "trickle down economics" fairy tales for years to keep the rubes in line. But now we have a whole new generation of legislators such as Senator "Ayn" Rand Paul that grew up actually believing this stuff because they weren't there when the stories were concocted. This is one reason so many are retiring early. They arrived in DC, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, ready to smite the traitors and turn the economy around. But after a while they either figured out the game themselves, or an older mentor pulled them aside and whispered in their ear that they're actually the bad guys.
No doubt that is part of the French Paradox - the apparently paradoxical observation that French people have a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease compared to Americans, while having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats compared to Americans. Perhaps we need a new ad campaign: "Butter doesn't kill people, guns kill people."
so, that's the slim shutdown, amirite?

They are great lap dogs.

Not the moon, please. Send Rand Paul to the asteroid belt.

That opening sentence is just amazing. "The hero of pointless grandstanding."

So you're saying - he should admit he has no power over Congress, and his administration has become unmanageable?
A surplus which was not only squandered but drove us back into negative territory under the Shrub, IIRC..
