The point was theories don't always work out or turn out as planned. The Democrats are free to spend as much as they want and free to tax as much as they want too. The government is already bankrupt and unable to fulfill it's current obligations, so what the hell, they might as well bankrupt it some more at this point. It's hard to listen as your busy talking. The Democrats aren't paid to listen. The Democrats are paid to talk and sell their foolish and short sighted ideas to the general public/public sector which we know is largely Democratic these days. So, how are the blueish cream puffs doing these days? Are the cream puffs still clinging to Biden?
I agree that theory doesn't necessarily align with reality, but that's always true. Case in point: we've had 50 years of lowering taxes and regulation on business and the rich. Has any of that proved more beneficial than the era that proceeded it? The data say no. In fact, the opposite is true. So much for that theory.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
