The left and right can agree on one thing: Our government is a joke...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Two prominent intellectuals of the left (as the French like to say), Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, have authored a fascinating book, "Abundance," promoting the following notion: Progressive goals are impossible to achieve by progressive means. To cite one example: Unplugging society from fossil fuels and into renewable energy will remain a pipe dream under the immobile regulatory system so beloved of liberals.
55% : States must run a competitive sub-granting process.
48% : The theme chosen by the anti-Trump protesters who took to the streets on April 5 -- "Hands Off" -- was considered vague even by sympathetic observers and gave rise to a number of interesting questions, such as: "Which hands?" and "Off what -- or whom?" In the favored interpretation, the hands belonged to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and the object of desire was the pristine body of the federal bureaucracy.
