Okay, but what if the Wingnuts turn into Moonbats? I mean, the only sane voices out there seem to be Dems and the quickly disappearing Repub “moderate”.

I guess what I’m saying is that the Dems have always had their crazies, but they were few in number. They would twist off the handle and the rest of the Dems in Congress would say, “Perhaps the Congresscritter misspoke {cringe}.”

But on the Repub side right now, this seems to be becoming more and more the norm. I don’t know, but $26 billion for school teachers and first responders doled out to the States tow weeks before classes start seems pretty reasonable to me. Mitch McConnell wants to make it the next coming of the Anti-Christ. Does he really think this appeals to the middle?

The problem is that the Feds keep tossing out these stimulus fixes, which just keeps states and cities from having to reform their budgets. I suggest passing this patch, but make it clear that the next patch is going to be a good bit smaller. Budgets will need to be cut accordingly. That strikes me as a reasonable approach.
