Nothing sums up the lunacy of our times more than the following quote:

 
 

Occasionally you read a statement that sums up the culture of our government in a few simple words. 

 

Before you think it is only the Republicans - “Democrats also passed a financial reform law:

 

"The law that originally created the Federal Reserve was a mere 31 pages. The Sarbanes-Oxley banking reform act, passed in 2002, was only 66 pages. But the 2010 financial reform law was 2,319 pages, an intricately engineered technocratic apparatus. As Mark J. Perry of the American Enterprise Institute noted, the financial reform law is seven times longer than the last five pieces of banking legislation combined.”   David Brooks – New York Times
