As for politicians of either major party, they’re still clueless as to what is actually happening, much less what to do.
I would say the symptom of “Miracle Thinking” is a growing, national cognitive problem afllicting both those in the top castes as well as the lowest.
There’s a classic humorous flowchart in which a complicated maze of decision boxes and tangled arrows leads to one big box off by itself that reads: “And then, a miracle happens.”
That must be the process inside the think tanks of both Republican and Democrat leaders both in Madison, and in D.C. The Republican miracle is labeled “Tax Cuts and Spending Cuts” and the Democrat’s is labeled “More Stimulus.”
This calls for thinking not only outside the box, but outside the warehouse where the box has been sitting for many years.
