Thoughts that didn’t fit in my last post

A Supreme Court Justice says our laws and regulations are out of control.

The court amplified its power at the expense of the administrative state.

Suddenly, old voters are aligning Democrat and young ones Republican.

A bureaucratic nightmare.

The Eurozone is falling further behind the United States.

All states but one receive more in federal money than they pay out in taxes.

My two cents.

Eight state have withdrawn from a system to prevent illegal voting because of ignorance and agitation.

We almost wrecked the economy . . . for this?

France shines new light on an old problem.

The state of the union is . . . not good.

A little debt ceiling, a little higher ed, and other misc delights.

Where do we draw the line?

The Biden administration has a point.

A moderate Republican almost diagnoses the problem.

Americans want some new choices.

Is that right? If so, is it reasonable?

How long can the unsustainable be sustained?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has set the House GOP adrift.

Some Republicans are starting to realize just how badly the House GOP has messed up this time.

The House GOP doesn’t seem to have any idea what it’s doing right now.
