Lunacy From the GOP

I still cannot believe this: FOXNews.com – Rep. Boehner: White House Using Rush Limbaugh as Distraction – Neil Cavuto | Your World

At the end of this story GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner suggests that Congress institutes a spending freeze. That’s right a freeze

That’s plain lunacy.

A freeze would devastate the economy. It would be a policy error of historic proportions. It is so far from being remotely sensible that I thought no one could dream of it let alone go on TV and advocate it. For stupidity it is … well one for the ages.

Either Boehner realizes he has absolutely no responsibility and therefore can say whatever comes into his head no matter how ludicrous. Or he is simply so stupid that I have no words to describe it.

No textbook. No fringe theorist. Nobody with a shred of economic knowledge thinks a freeze is anything but a disaster. Stopping the one source of consumption right now would condemn the economy to a catastrophic plunge that would make the Depression look like a halcyon era of growth.

What does he think?

Anything?

Here we are fighting to reignite sagging demand and he wants to snuff out the few embers we have.

What an idiot.

I sincerely hope that the Republicans go through whatever soul searching they need to quickly. A healthy democracy needs a healthy opposition. One with solid alternative ideas aimed at helping.

Right now the GOP resembles Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow. Useless, diminishing, incapable, and leaderless. If Boehner’s comments are representative of their idea of policy let’s hope they don’t see power for a few decades.

That’s not just clueless. It’s not even horrendous. It’s apocalyptically and bizarrely awful.

Ugh.
