I am reminded of various science fiction movies in which a flashing red light with the words "COMPUTER MALFUNCTION" fills the screen. What we have in Washington now is a very serious dysfunction, if not outright malfunction in the House of Representatives. Never in my lifetime I have seen the House in such disarray. I have been describing this disarray over the last few weeks.
It is now clear to me that the turmoil in the House goes much deeper than any conservative "study group," or other pressure group. What we are seeing in the House is an outcropping of the dissent simmering just below boil throughout the U.S. now. Thinking people know there is something seriously wrong. This is a topic I have been addressing off and on throughout the more than nine year history of this blog.
There is such a thing as justice. Ethics is not only a study but a force. The better angels of our nature are calling a halt to the selfishness and greed which have been running the economy and corrupting our politics and government. It is a hopeful sign when a Congress desiring to destroy Social Security, abolish both Medicare and Obamacare, simply cannot function.
It is a time for deep thought, but also action. It can be a hopeful time if we make it so.
