The Judd Gregg and Sharron Angle Mind Meldby: Dean BarkerMon Jul 05, 2010 at 19:03:53 PM EDT |

Conventional wisdom is a funny thing.
CW says (and yes, I think this is true even outside of dirty hippie land) that US Senate GOP nominee from Nevada Sharron Angle is a Crazy Person, for example: "You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job but it doesn't pay as much. We've put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry."And then you have Judd Gregg, whom CW dictates both here and nationally to be a Very Serious Person (He's even on the Catfood Commission, he's so Very Serious!), for example: Because you're out of the recession, you're starting to see growth and you're clearly going to dampen the capacity of that growth if you basically keep an economy that encourages people to, rather than go out and look for work, to stay on unemployment.So, what's the daylight between those two statements, anyway? |
