Government compromises our trust.
Glenn Reynolds concludes in his forthcoming USA today column:
But it’s the Obama administration that has demonstrated a disrespect for institutions. When Obama had been in office for just a few months, he “joked” about auditing his enemies and I warned: “Mr. Obama has been accused of not appreciating the importance of financial capital to the proper functioning of the economy. But ill-chosen remarks like his ASU audit threat suggest that he also doesn’t appreciate the role of moral capital.”
Obviously, he didn’t listen. To function properly, our government depends on moral capital, capital that has been seriously squandered. In their second terms, presidents tend to worry about their legacies. Will Obama’s legacy be a historic destruction of trust in government?
YES.
Moral capital is in a deficit. It’s long past time that his minions that testify to Congress stop taking stupid pills right before they testify. They are either willfully ignorant or stupid beyond all belief. Either way, they need to find new jobs, preferably in the unemployment line.
The emperor may have no clothes, but no one in the inner circle will tell him until it’s too late. And a question for the MSM: Have you considered how your moral capital has been squandered?
Most likely a question that’s never occurred to you.
