Using this politician’s quote found at the sentinel blog article here: “two generations ago Nixon era Treasury Secretary William Simon let the cat out of the bag:
“One of the things I learned during my tenure in Washington is that the civic book picture of government in operation is completely inaccurate. The idea that our elected officials take part in a careful decision-making process—monitoring events, reviewing options, responsibly selecting policies—has almost no connection with reality.
“A more accurate image would be that of a runaway train with the throttle stuck wide open—while the passengers and crew are living it up in the dining car.”
These days, however, the runaway train is one ridge turn from jumping the tracks. Alas,
a stock market crash, depression, and world war will likely accompany it.”
Buckle up, it’s all coming soon
