When will the Bubba Bubble burst?
The response to global warming? Denial – and a well-financed campaign to obfuscate the difference between local weather and global climate. The response to the great recession? Less regulation, even though deregulation was to blame. The response to a healthcare crisis? Inaction, even in the face of spiraling costs and suffering. The response to deficits? Cut taxes, ‘starve the beast’; even after ten years of evidence to the contrary. And now a few deranged Tea Party-ers applaud a pilot who flies his airplane into an IRS building.
The Bubba response to serious attempts to solve America’s problems is 24-hr ridicule, denial, invective, threats and prayer. (What god would listen to such nonsense?)
To sober America up and burst this burgeoning Bubba Bubble, will it take Sarah Palin or Ron Paul becoming president, or is there a 12-step program designed to avert impending national calamities?
