This reminds me of something Richard Reeves said about 1980, when Ronald Reagan was elected. Jimmy Carter had talked about sacrifice and what we should do to fix what was wrong with the country. Reagan grinned the folksy grin and said everything would be fine if we just distrusted government and cracked down on the needy. The whole point of Reagans election, Reeves said, was avoidance of pain. More than three decades later, the same old problems are worse, and weve reacted by electing people who say everything will be fine if we just distrust government and crack down on the needy. Its sure to work this time!
