October 18, 1930: NYT on Short Selling
AGG: "Congress has less than a 15% approval rate. Think about that."
I have. This means that everyone thinks their congresscritter (and a few others) is doing a good job (they needed 50%+1 approval to get elected). YOUR idiot congresscritter (and a lot of others), on the other hand, is the problem (meaning that you are an idiot for having elected them). If you give Congress an approval rating of less than 50% then you are likely one of the idiots who contributed to the election of another idiot.
It occurs to me that the simplest solution would be for everyone to vote the opposite of how they voted last time--that should generate a change in our government.
