In Congress, The Inmates Are Now Running The Asylum

The 116th Congress will be one for the record books, but not in a positive way. Sadly, the United States House of Representatives is now controlled by the Democratic Party for the first time in eight years.
The Republicans lost their grip on power for a variety of reasons including their refusal to enact the agenda endorsed by the American people in the 2016 election. As a result, Democrats have the spotlight and the ability to consider horrible ideas such as the new “Green New Deal†proposal being floated by 29-year old socialist superstar U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). She wants to raise the top income tax rate from 37%to 70% to move the country toward zero carbon emissions. If any of her proposals are ever enacted into law, Venezuela here we come!
It is ridiculous that Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez want to double tax rates after the country’s economy has been booming due to the policies of President Donald Trump. Among his many accomplishments during his first two years as President was the passage of massive tax cuts that have spurred robust economic growth. The tax cuts also helped the labor market, which grew by an astounding 312,000 new jobs in December.

Please. In government itself, and for a long enough time, the inmates are the asylum.

You've taken the words right out of my mouth. Our present social pathologies are most often not the result of failure, but of design.
