“We just lost, Larry. What do we do? Four years of this idiot will ruin the country.”
“It’s going to be tough, Bob. Our interests will certainly suffer,
but at least the bonehead will be vilified by the end of his second
year. It will be fun to watch, and participate while everybody sees the
failed policies, the corruption, the wasted money, the hypocrisy, the
botched foreign adventures, and boondoggle programs.”
“That sounds great, but what makes you think all that will happen. And, even if it does, will it get reported.”
“Oh, it will get reported. The news and blog outlets that are on our
side will surely broadcast it. Plus, the press on the other side will
get disillusioned as failure after failure follows broken promise after
broken promise.”
“But, Larry, how can you be sure?”
“It’s easy. Government doesn’t work and will continue to be a parody
of itself, it doesn’t matter who is in charge - they will fail. The
government always fails, I can guarantee that. That’s the trick the
media uses.
“Waste, fraud, corruption, failed policies, ill-conceived ideas,
unintended consequences, botched wars, miss-appropriated resources,
incompetent management, kickbacks, lies, abuse of power, scandals, and
outright crimes are the nature of any administration. It never changes.
“Oh, occasionally, when the government throws enough money at a
problem, some progress is made, but then we just expose the cost/benefit
ratio and it becomes another failure.”
“I get it now, Bob. Kinda makes me worry more about winning than losing.”
