But the author, David Brooks, is sadly without conscience, consistency, or reality.
I sure wish I had his gift for writing. Then I could be an unaccountable pundit, like Bobo and Bill Kristol! Plus, rich!
In the linked link above, he claims the economy is just one big uncontrollable mass, which to a small extent may be true, but is also indisputably stupid when it comes to the levers of power an American President with an on-their-knees Congress running the world’s most important economy can control and manipulate.
It is simply sad. Count me as one of the exhausteds when it comes to, “in bad times the GOP POTUS has no control of the economy, but in good times it’s all about him, unless it is a Democratic POTUS, in which case the former is true” crap that comes thrusting down my throat like an unwelcome bug every four years.
It gets fucking old. How about you pick one and go with it?
