What’s All the Hoopla About, Part 2

The title
of the article whose link is below is: “House GOP To Plan Next Step As Budget
Clock Runs Down.” But, again, as I read this article, it illustrates that
almost nothing will change as a result of this “battle” between the Republicans
and Democrats and between different factions of the Republican Party. It
strikes me that this little “drama” is a lot like our presidential elections,
where the drama of the election obscures the fact that once the election is
over, almost nothing of any importance changes. So, what we get is whole lot of
“drama” or apparent “drama” and little change in the status quo. And if
preserving the status quo were the goal of those in charge of the established
order – a goal that seems never to occur to anyone as quite common in politics –
then it is wrong to say that “Washington is broken” because from the
perspective of those who benefit from the status quo, it is working quite well,
thank you very much.
