Idiot of the Week - Dave's thoughts

Idiot of the Week

1/13/2019

Now that the holiday spirit is out of my system, it’s time to look at this week’s idiot of the week.

This one comes from a surprising source: Kevin Hasset, Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisors. He was trying to explain why the shutdown is good for the furloughed workers. He said that many would have taken time off over the holidays but are now able to save their vacation days. Evidently unemployment is just the thing people need to really enjoy the holidays.

At long last this idiotic shutdown is over. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t start up again.

The real story is that 800,000 government workers are back on the job and many millions of people are no longer inconvenienced.

Unfortunately, that is not the story we are hearing in the media. Their story is about how Speaker Pelosi beat President Trump. He got himself into this mess. She decided that all that mattered was winning. The harm done to the people involved was of no concern whatsoever. A good leader puts the good of the people over political gamesmanship,

it would be nice to think that both people have learned their lesson and will try to do what is best for the
country. I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
