Budgeting for stupidity July 26, 2021.

Introduction

As it is quite obvious to the intelligent observer

that our ruling elites are busily engaged in wrecking the country,

the theory is about why this is the case,

breaking to two schools of thought.

The first is that the bad guys are evil geniuses

and that they are doing all of this on purpose

out of malice envy and guile, like so many bond villains.

The second is that they are stupid

and that they really believe their own platitudes.

They think they are helping sweetness and light along

when they are, in fact, not helping.

They are ushering in a glorious new commie world,

like Venezuela, or a senior part of downtown Detroit.

Before getting on to today's discussion of these matters,

I would like to propose a third option.

This is a big country and we can see

that an awful lot of people are engaged in wrecking it.

And so why not both?

Why can't we have evil geniuses and stupid people both?
