The imploding political class

This manufactured outrage in media over what Romney said yesterday about the very poor, middle class and rich is a patheitc display of deceit. I don't know whether it's Orwellian or McCarthyian, but it reveals a class of wimps and manipulators. Everyone knows what Romney meant, yet we're having this big discussion over how awful it is to not care about the very poor. Give me a frigging break. Romney helped the poor as a missionary -- who else has devoted that much time to poor people? The political class is full of crap, to put it nicely.

Americans who understand how the economy works also understand that the poor will be eating mudpies if we don't stop the statist madness which has brought the economy to a standstill, and has run up so much debt we're following Greece to collapse. Romney was saying that we need to focus on economic means which create economic growth which create jobs which create the funds to keep the welfare state afloat -- if you want a welfare state to help the poor, then stop acting like an overly sensitive wimp and demand that government stop the interventions which are making economic growth impossible.
