Orszag: Oxygen-Deprived at Birth?

An indicator that Orszag (and his Statist/Narcissist boss) have serious mental deficiencies:

Even according to the otherworldly theory under which Orszag is operating, however, the prospects don't look good unless we succumb to Obamacare: "As I have said many times before and will again (since it's still true!), the key to our long-term fiscal future is fiscally responsible health insurance reform. All our steps to rein in the deficit will be for naught if we do not reduce the rate of health care cost growth over time." These two sentences combine circumlocution ("health insurance reform") with a non sequitur.

These are "the best and the brightest"?

No wonder Sykes compares them to the Zimbabwean Parliament.

There is nothing untrue about that statement.
