Carrville’s admonishment for Democrats to do nothing and play dead is well made. Since Democrats can’t make good policies and are accustomed to getting nothing done beyond legislating moral corruption, deficits and foreign war finance playing possum will be east. Carrville believes Trump policies may fail of their own weight.
Trump and Musk’s Doge policies will need to skirt around social security and Medicare reforms. It is easier to cut the defense budget than to scale back social security and Medicare to elderly relief safety net programs. Payments for those that actually need them should increase for the poor and decrease for the prosperous. Even Trump cannot rectify social security so it is rational rather than a payment program inclusive of the middle class.
Democrats should find a scientific foundation for political economy utilizing ecological economics available to their future candidates. Forming ecological economic applied philosophy plans as party public domain information and cost analysis is essential if real world implementation is ever to occur. Playing possum is a better course for Democrats who did not even try to tax the rich when they owned legislative and executive branches in 2021.
Democrat politicians pursue pork increases for globalist, homosexual and feminist constituents while stuffing their own freezers with cash. Democrats politicians may pretend to know or care about ecological economics in order to sway a few votes, and Republicans abandon all reason concerning the environment so the net environmental remediation for the parties together is zero
While playing possum the party can keep an eye open to observe Doge reducing government waste and trying to move the budget toward balance.
