11. The reason for the Republican collapse

Edited on Thu Oct-06-11 05:10 PM by jmowreader

They've become the punchline for an old Far Side cartoon: the one about equine medicine, where the cure for anything wrong with a horse was to shoot it.

In the Republicans' case, the answer to every problem is tax cuts and deregulation. These are the people who cut taxes to pay for a WAR, for God's sake.

The difference between Larson and the Republicans is simple: while shooting the horse definitely solves whatever problem it might have, tax cuts and deregulation almost always make the problem worse.
