The Usual Idiots

Paul Krugman pointed out why, as I age, I think,  "What fools we mortals be." The common wisdom in Washington these days is that if nothing is changed, we will have to cut back social security payments in 20 years. That is the problem. The Washington solution is to cut back social security payments now. That's some solution. ("Bring it on!")

I can't explain why Washington is a moron or why Washington looks smart compared to state governments. Maybe it has to do with ideologies, the belief systems of idiots.
