On the heels of the North Carolina governor telling us<\/a> that democracy is standing in the way of employment yesterday, we get this from Peter Orszag at The New Republic<\/a>;<\/p>\n

So what to do? To solve the serious problems facing our country, we need to minimize the harm from legislative inertia by relying more on automatic policies and depoliticized commissions for certain policy decisions. In other words, radical as it sounds, we need to counter the gridlock of our political institutions by making them a bit less democratic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s it, take the voice away from the people. Maybe there’s gridlock in Congress because the people have decided that the lack of gridlock would result in a flood of harmful legislation…like the first two years of the Obama Administration when nothing stood in his way to spend a trillion bucks on failed policies.<\/p>\n

The left hates that the voters are too smart to fall for their scams and their intellectual vacuum of ideas. So clowns like Orszag propose we subordinate the process to the so-called experts and relegate our freedoms to their issue geeks. <\/p>\n

The voice of the People is always right, whether it’s wrong or not – the fact that they still have the right to speak and vote makes it more right than wrong. The 2010 election was the People saying that the policies of Obama were wrong, and attempts by liberals to get around the voice of the People is more wrong than the People could ever be.<\/p>\n

Liberals are always trying to find a way around the will of the voters, whether it’s through the courts or trying to circumvent the Electoral College. How they get to be called “Liberals” is beyond me.<\/p>\n
