And government is largely populated by Hamiltonians today.
It's never gonna change.
The Framers slit throats.
Today, modern society's will to actually change anything in any kind of meaningful way goes only so far as the next opinion show or whatever.
The American electorate is just too damned stupid. Like trained monkeys.
Few understand what the economy actually is.
Even fewer have the slightest rudimentary grasp of economic theory and monetary policy in general, and have no understanding of what kinds of policies we actually have.
The Majority of the electorate are purveyors of big government in general, observably.
But the American electorate, collectivey speaking, is pretty good at political sportball. Red hemlets vs blue helmets type pablum. Trying to create some foolish notion of difference between themselves when, in reality, there is no difference.
The only real conservatives left in America are the classical liberals.
It's crazy, man...
