We need an IQ test for politicians. “…ignorance and incompetence are on regular display among our political class. Its members are good at what they do — but what they do, really, is raise money and win elections. There’s no particular correlation between those skills and any other kind of competence. In fact, given their record of passing increasingly dumb laws, if there’s any correlation at all, it’s a negative one.” Well, if they had any real talent for anything useful, they’d be doing honest work somewhere.
