Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital | Politics News | Rolling Stone

"He's Gordon Gekko, but a new and improved version, with better PR – and a bigger goal. A takeover artist all his life, Romney is now trying to take over America itself. And if his own history is any guide, we'll all end up paying for the acquisition."

Caruta cu nuntasi

Toata tarasenia asta cu referendum-ul mi s-a parut ca o carutza de nuntasi beti care se intorceau de la petrecere, au incercat sa treaca raul pe unde credeau ei ca e vadul, s-a rasturnat caruta, acum sunt uzi pana la chiloti si incep sa aiba o vaga banuiala ca poate n-a fost cea mai inteligenta decizie.

Zone of Insanity - By James Traub | Foreign Policy

Zone of Insanity - By James Traub | Foreign Policy

Rage against the machine

There is this classical  definition of insanity,  that is, to expect different result while doing the same thing.    From what Romney  allows the public to see,  his economic  vision is  a steroid enhanced  version  G.W Bush's.     Maybe  he  hopes  that there  are enough insane  voters   think  that this time the outcome will be different.  Or maybe he's hiding the details because   if people took a serious look at them    they would freak out.      Romney seems intelligent enough   to make me believe  that he   is a  demagogue  in the sense of  Mencken, i.e.,  one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.  The dunces that voted for W the second time    have short memories and may be buying   the nicely packaged  lotta nothing  Romney is selling.
