What is a capitalist democracythat subsidizes to eliminate failure?

…the path of least political resistance would be doing nothing

 

…analytically honest political commentators

…should be struggling with a pretty hard choice

 

Do you try to maximize the possibility of good

if still insufficient, outcomes?

 

Or do you admit what many people already know

and say that our political process has gone into total system failure

and the overriding priority is building the long-term case

for structural reform of America's lawmaking process?

 

…can you really solve any of our policy problems

until you solve our fundamental political problem?

 

…don't think about it in terms of when your team is in power

 

Think of it in terms of the next 30 years

and the challenges we face
