The blueprint is set to end Joe Biden’s shaky reign in the White House

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” 

*** and ***

Meanwhile, Dems could have an open primary, with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sens. Amy Klobachur, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, and Pete Buttigieg and other dreamers free to pick up where they left off in 2020. 

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders would probably try again and why not Hillary, too? 

It all sounds far-fetched — until you imagine a Trump-Biden rematch, with Biden hobbled by a terrible first term and both candidates accused of crimes. 

If Democrats stick with Biden under those circumstances, they’ll be inviting the second coming of Trump.

Sounds like we need to put a mandatory retirement age along with term limits amount some of the other changes need to cut the Gooferment down in size and intrusiveness.

At the very least repealing the Seventeenth Amendment would put the State Legislatures back in charge of Senators and eliminate “carpet bagging” individuals from buying seats to the big graft bonanza.

A mandatory retirement age tied to the Social Security “full benefit” retirement age might be a nice touch.

Then kill many if not all of the TLAs (i.e., three letter agencies).   If we do need a small Department of Agriculture to help the States coordinate, then they should reside in the State they are coordinating for but I bet the States could figure out how to do it faster, cheaper, and easier.

Argh!

‘Those of us who did the right thing get screwed’: Father confronts Warren on student loan plan

Published on by reinkefjLeave a comment

Via The Washington Examiner A father confronted Elizabeth Warren about her plan to forgive student loan debt in a tense face-to-face conversation, asserting that those who paid for college tuition themselves would get “screwed” under her proposal.

During the confrontation Monday, Warren protested, communicating that no one would get “screwed.”

“Of course we did. My buddy had fun, bought a car, went on vacations. I saved my money,” he said. “He made more than I did. But I worked a double shift, worked extra — my daughter worked since she was 10. So, you’re laughing.”

“No, I’m not,” Warren said.

“Yeah, that’s exactly what you’re doing,” he said. “We did the right thing, and we get screwed,” he added, before walking away from the photo line without a photo.

Certainly sounds like that to me!

All these “free” giveaways will just crash the economy and make the great depression look like fun at a children’s party.

We get our standard of living from the (somewhat) free market.  At some point, these politicians and bureaucrats will “kill the golden goose”.
