With the calculation problem, as well as the political problem, any government program slowly becomes insolvent. The term ‘efficient’ government’ is literally an oxymoron, along with socialist economy.

Both leftist-liberals-Democrats and rightist-conservative-Republicans are dominated by politically ambitious hypocrites with no ideological consistency
and a history of favoritism to the highest bidders. Hence, one cannot count on them to argue from (absent) principles. Hence, the easiest argument is to demonize ones opponents into Hitler, Stalin, or Snidely “nya-ha-ha” Whiplash.
It is rather infantile but not unexpected. The sad part is that Obama and Bush, rather than doing wrong because of an evil disposition, are well intentioned ambitious politicians in search of some LEGACY like “solving” health care or “liberating” Iraq. But “Hilterizing” is good for media attention and juices up the booboisie – so both sides use it while the U.S. of Lemmings slide over the cliffs of hyperinflationary bankruptcy.

Ironically, our country would be better off with a debauching President kept occupied by a harem of Lewinskys.
