But Albert Einstein was.
And he defined insanity as: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
So here’s the thing. The global financial meltdown and all the subsequent mass unemployment was a direct result of the rampant deregulation driven by Republican policy. Republican fiscal principals (as well intended as they may have been) created the problem.
And now, a couple years of Fox News sound bites later, the American voters have been convinced to throw more Republican policy at a problem created by Republican policy. We’re trying to extinguish a fire by throwing buckets of gasoline on it.
I’m not saying that the other party has all the answers, or that they haven’t made any mistakes… But come on. After the airplane spent 8 years in a nosedive, you’re bound to scrape a few mountain tops no matter how hard you pull back on the controls.
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
- Albert Einstein
