chelle Bachmann, Rick Perry or similar type Republicans could obtain the presidency of the United States of America and guide its foreign and economic policies cripples the psyche. Can individuals of scarce intellectual knowledge, who resolve difficult problems with slogans and a turn to God, develop the complex policies that rescue the United States from economic Armageddon? Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann won the Iowa poll by being more careless with facts, more devoid of reality, more appealing to biased agendas, more distorting of truths, and more likely to use mendacities than the other candidates. Reflect on statements:

"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage--if conceivably it was gone--we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level." --Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, testifying against a bill to raise the minimum wage and advocating the elimination of the minimum wage altogether..

"Dark economic clouds are dissipating into an emerging blue sky of opportunity. "

"Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry."

Rick Perry

Election of poorly equipped persons to highest office reveals a larger problem - a sizable portion of the electorate, possibly fifty percent, subscribe to the simplistic economic thinking that thwarts economic recovery - "It's the government's fault," "Only business can create jobs," "Get the government out of our lives," and the latest, "We only have to return to God."

And what thinketh the other fifty percent? Well, the Wall Street Journal has a huge and trusting readership who use its words to plan their economic futures. Combine Tea Party, Libertarian, and Wall Street Journal (WSJ) subscriptions, and we have, with some overlap, economic thought that defies analysis because there is no thought to analyze.
