(5,791 posts)57. Radical RWNJ ideology let loose
the so-called "free market" elevated above all else. In red don the crackpots finally have someone who, lacking a conscience, will let ruthless profiteering take precedence above all else. These kooks also want the Federal government to be weak, hence no good response.
Frosts me that the corporate media reports this story as a "what" but not a "why"--there is a reason they keep doing things that look so counterproductive--it's not bumbling, it's because there are radical far-right "free market" ideologues dictating what the Federal government is doing.
