The Case For Overwhelming Melancholy

Stupid people are depressing. Mobs of stupid people are frightening. A nation of stupid people invites despair.

According to Rasmussen, 38% of likely voters give Obama good or excellent marks on deficit reduction. Immigration, gun control, health care, etc., involve values and invite a certain amount of subjectivity. Not so deficit reduction. Numbers and only numbers determine one's success in reducing the deficit. Subjectivity in quantity usually involves deception, delusion, stupidity or fraud.

The President is on track to double our national debt. He will be eight for eight in running a deficit. His administration has run the largest deficits of any administration in US History. And yet, 38% of likely voters give him a thumbs up in deficit reduction. At least 38% of the population is blissfully ignorant of basic facts.

That must be some damn good Kool-Aid.
