At Fiscal Times Liz Peek says the heck with making America great again, make America work again:
- There is no excuse for any American missing his plane because the TSA cannot do its job.
- There is no excuse for a single veteran to be denied critical care because of long wait times.
- There is no excuse for the IRS not answering your phone call.
- There is no excuse for allowing tens of thousands of Central Americans to cross our southern border illegally.
There is no excuse at all for ineptness on such a grand scale.
Okay, I’ll bite. Which of these is closest to the truth?
- America never worked.
- America has never worked for a lot of people.
- Americans have forgotten what working means.
- Given enough time any bureaucracy will stop working.
- If we were willing to spend the money, we could make everything work beautifully.
- Everything is working as designed. It was just designed poorly and to accomplish political goals rather than practical ones.

Consider this, at one agency were I worked, I found a 1947 policy manual which was about 50 pages or so which seemed to cover everything I did. The manuals I was issued in 1978 consisted of a four inch thick binder, an inch high stack of federal consent decrees and full drawer of various booklets about forms, state law, etc. The next job gave a four foot shelf of manuals of which about 80 pages were directly relevant.
So, I’ll go with D, F and G entropy is always increasing.
Where You Sit Is Where You Stand
H. All of the above.
F followed by B leading to C.
F followed by B and D leading to C………..causing one to look at the liklihood that HRC will win the election and conclude the voters deserve what they get, and they deserve to get it good and hard.
E (hey! I’m a liberal here) , followed by F and B.
