We asked our old friend the other day, why the slow recovery? Steve is an ex- chief economist for a major US bank, now a prof at Berkeley. Did he not consider BO’s legislative threats an impediment to hiring, a retardant? “No, not at all,” he responded. “You see, it’s very complex; that’s only a small part of it....... Just remember, for every complex issue, there is a solution that is neat and simple — and wrong!” Spoken like a true lefty.
The signature of the Dem party is the inability to make tough decisions. Recall your own experiences with that party. True?
Reagan used to say that, “It’s the complicated answer that is easy because it avoids facing the hard moral issues.” Instead, “I say there are simple answers to many of our problems, simple but hard.”
Given the left’s weakness for decision making it is no wonder that they so often resort to complexity for a refuge.
From Steven Hayward’s book we revisit the classical poet Archilochus: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” BO and the rest pretend to be in the ownership of great wisdom, all so multi-faceted, so nuanced, so confounded with moral equality and the never ending quest for the level playing field, led of course by the anointed.
They’re fools, knowing so much that isn’t true.
Reagan was successful because he knew one big thing - government is a threat to liberty, “both in its vicious forms such as communism or socialism, but also in its supposedly benign forms, such as bureaucracy,” explains Hayward.
The left are either naive or phony. Class time for both rapidly approaches.
