Egads. This has to be the most inane statement evah! from a public official above the level of dogcatcher.
Chris Larson, the (D) Minority Leader:
...Look Sly, I think it’s important to uh- when people are talking about
smaller government, I think people have to remember what the word
government actually means. What kind of government do we have? We have a
democracy. It’s an election by the community, by people within the
neighborhoods who decide what they want to do as a collective on where
they want to go with this state. So when you talk about reducing government, you’re talking about reducing democracy
when you’re doing that. You’re reducing the ability of people to hold
their electeds accountable and actually get a safety net when people are
feeling down....MediaTrackers quoting Sly show
This is what passes for 'informed commentary' in the (D) community, eh?

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure anyone actually considers anything Sly or his guests say "informed commentary".
