Commentary: The Era of ‘Just Do It’ Government

Tim Scott did the impossible at last week’s Republican debate: He made me nostalgic for the politics of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. 

This was not the intent of South Carolina’s junior senator, as he condemned LBJ for creating programs during the 1960s that continue to undermine the very people they promised to help. “Black families survived slavery,” Scott said. “We survived poll taxes and literacy tests. We survived discrimination being woven into the laws of our country. What was hard to survive was Johnson’s Great Society, where they decided to put money – where they decided to take the black father out of the household to get a check in the mail. And you can now measure that in unemployment, in crime, in devastation.”

  1. I only read half, the author is sadly mistaken. Biden has no clue., he's told what to do. Barry and Valerie have been running the show before day one. And they have backed off as of late. Anyone want to hazard a guess who is currently running the shit show?

  2. Timmy's a survivor though & managing to become quite wealthy as a senator. Ask him about that $67K in lobbyist money he got for his vote to fast track Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership sometime.
