The antics, insanity, and waste that continues to emanate from the American political class seems to keep coming to us on an almost daily basis. You eventually start to wonder how any level of government can function in this country, given how poorly it is run by our politicians. It also makes you wonder how much our taxes could be lowered, our lives made better, and our future improved if only we could only get people into office who had just a little bit of common sense.
Let's start with our best source of political class insanity, the latest monthly issue of Reason magazine:
- The insanity that comes out of the California state legislature never ceases to amaze. Remember, California is a state in financial crisis - revenue shortfalls, high levels of debt, extreme cutbacks in all state government programs, and high unemployment would you lead you to hope that the political class in the state would focus on some the critical programs that affect just about every state resident.
However, that hope would be dashed. State Senator Kevin Leon recently introduced legislation that would require every hotel in the state of California to use fitted sheets in their hotel rooms rather than regular sheets that get tucked under the mattress by the maids of California. His intent of the legislation was to make life easier and safer for the maids since he felt the maids would not have to lift as many mattresses when the make up the hotel rooms.
