What? But It’s Only Been Three Days!

three-daysI find myself in the strange position of defending DtheT on Facebook. Well, maybe not exactly defending: more explaining. Telling folk he really isn’t a Republican or a Conservative – that his policies look more like Bernie Sanders than the Tea Party. But how is this possible, they ask? How do you know that? Because I listened to what he said.

Building infrastructure is a good thing. Yes, he’ll add to the deficit – some estimates are $10 trillion over ten years – but what the hell: austerity did nothing for the economy, but the deficit goes up anyway. So that’s a good thing, right? Well, yeah, but then there’s that temperament thing.

My position is that folk that voted for DtheT were willing to roll the dice and take the risk that he could kill us all in order to change Washington. That’s how desperately we want change. Well, be careful what you wish for, ’cause you’re gonna see change like you haven’t seen since 1980 when Reagan took over. Some of it may very well be good; some of it problematic. But cancelling the Iran nuclear deal is a big deal. And the cost associated with it may, in the end, have made it not a very good gamble to put him in charge of the nuclear codes.
