It was way into the wee minutes of this debate before our favorite little wind-up doll, Rep. Ron Paul, got out an entire mouthful of syllables. Maybe he's a pull-string doll and we didn't pull hard enough.
Anyway, here's what he had to tell us about "crony capitalism": It only occurs at the Federal government level and never in businesses. You know, because they turn a profit and that makes cronyism impossible. Swear to the Doll Diva, I'm trying to follow. Maybe if he talked about, oh...
BUBBLES!! YAY, BUBBLES!! I just love a man with a fear of translucent, gassy soapwater. Ron tells us that, of course, the Federal government should not be involved in education (nor governing, for that matter), and that the student loan program must go away. "They can pay for school the same way they pay for cell phones and computers," he deftly explained. (It was a nod to the "free market" if his intent was to conjure the opposite of translucent, or opaque. I prefer obtuse, but that's just my angle.) But he did tell us what the government is good for: "They make bubbles!" Finally, a constitutionally sound basis for our government to continue to exist. The manufacture of bubbles.
The United Globule of Airmerica. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
