Wait a minute—are you insinuating that this administration has mismanaged something before?

I don't see them doing anything reasonable while they're in power. They have a myopic view of how things should be run. What do you expect?

I'm expecting little from the remnants of the team whose captain is George W. Bush. A change of hands is long overdue.

Whether it's a gamble or not, any other administration has to be better than this one.

Right? Come on, what do you honestly expect from a group who thought deep tax cuts was a great strategy while simultaneously blasting military spending through the already ridiculously vaulted ceiling.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, it's as though they orchestrated this disaster.

Has it come time that the military industrial complex has come to a screeching halt? You can't keep that ball rolling forever. Or can you?

Historically, power becomes concentrated within an environment of crises.
