“My solution is to change the name of America! Then there will be no problems in America!”

The way he drinks, that’s economic stimulus

His solution is talk enough hot-air at the problem. And the problem will just raise up and float away on its own. That seems to be the “swamp” way of doing things.

In politics, you first find a “solution” and then create a problem to solve it!!

It used to be “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Nowadays, it’s “if it ain’t broke, break it and don’t let anyone even try to fix it.”

When you here those scary words “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Time to run.

Conor Cruise O’Brien made a useful distinction between ‘problems’ and ‘situations’. Both refer to undesirable circumstances, but problems have solutions, whereas situations have outcomes. Contrary to what scientism tells us, there are very few solutions to undesirable circumstances in reality, hence very few problems, and even fewer that politicians can accomplish anything toward solving.

We done this last month!

Drain the swamp. Kick ‘em all out. Build a parking lot. Done.

Just like every other Politician and Pundit, none of his solutions are correct.

I wonder what committees this Senator sit on.

As long as it’s not a final solution.

A pint of whiskey dissolved in a quart of soda. The perfect solution for everything!
