Evil or just bad (redux)

Last week, I read and then discussed an excerpt from a Victor Davis Hanson piece, "Trickle-down Bidenism".  In it he talks about the many crises occurring in the United States during the ancient Biden Administration. He wonders if the Democrats and just inept or if the damage being done is intentional. Unfortunately, the audio quality of last week\'s podcast was not that great (gremlins!).  The topic I think is too important to just let go, so I decided to revisit it this week. This time, the audio quality is much better so again, my thoughts (familiar to some of you) on the topic...

 Evil or just plain bad?

\\n

In an article for The Independent Institute, Victor Davis Hanson blasts the Democrats and especially President Biden for the growing number of crises in America since he and his fellow Democrats took power in Washington in January. In it, Hanson asks the rhetorical question\\u2013 \\u201cDoes the Biden socialist cadre who engineered these self-induced calamities have any clue about the damage they have done to America? Or do they believe the chaos is tolerable collateral destruction to achieve an otherwise unattainable socialist paradise?\\u201d Although it is generally good counsel to not attribute ill-intent to what can just as easily be attributed to incompetence, the way the Democrats have governed gives us cause to wonder.

Included is an excerpt from Victor Davis Hanson article: Trickle-Down Bidenism (Please read the whole thing, it\'s worth it.)

So are the leftist Democrats in power really just inept or is all the destruction being caused to our society and economy just a price to be paid to achieve the collective Utopia they seek?
