beyond any opposition. Perhaps nothing this side of believing the world of flat is more repudiated by reality than Republican economic ideology.

The so called common wisdom is a demonstrated and proven lie and assimilating such lies says a lot of ominous things.

We cannot build and work from and on top of a false premise.
