An admittedly zealous Democrat promotes his party and skewers the GOP.
They're Not Even Close? The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010
His many graphs sure seem to support his claim ..... except that his thesis founders on this sentence:
"Democrats Reduce, Republicans Increase, Government Deficits [= Public Fiat = Public Initiative]"
(My additions, in brackets.)
:) Makes you wonder whether Dems always get credit for GOP "deficits!"
And vice versa, whether GOP gets blamed for DNP austerity? :) LOL!
While neither group knows "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot" is really going on? :(
Two moronic processes captured in each other's orbit, neither noticing that the sum of their orbital interactions produces sparks of group intelligence?
They need outside observers to even see the sum of themselves. No wonder oligarchs usually wield the keys to every Democracy. It's usually a basic matter of perspectives in gridlock, & therefore easy prey for transistor-like "control" signals, no matter how weak in & of themselves?
Any discussion of conservatism ought to include questions about what, exactly, it is that they're trying to conserve.
If it's adaptive rate, then there's no fight between conservatives & progressives. The latter generate diversity, and the former help select additions from it, continuously.
Co-selection produces more than the sum of both parts?
(Thanks to Prof. Brad Lewis of Union College, for excellent discussion, leading to this train of thought.)
