Emphasis mine: Here’s the thing about the Postmodern Left: They don’t give a damn about jobs, wages, or really even any particular government program or Green New Deal or Five-Year Plan, or whatever it is they’re peddling this week.

Blogline of the Day – I know this is right!

February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 Skip

Comments? (H/T: Instapundit)

February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It is the sign of a weak mind to immediately assume that a problem, real or imagined, is due to inadequate government funding. It is also the sign of a socialist or a Democrat. And since we’re talking about that state to the left of New Hampshire, this begins to make whatever passes for sense in the People’s Republic.
