Whatever You Do, Don’t Put Two And Two Together
As I've been watching the tribulations of one Norman Hsu escalate from curious to criminal, it has been remarkable to see the value of the dollar rise, at least in the eyes of your average liberal blogger. Just last week I was arguing with folks who claimed there was no way someone living in California and making $60,000 a year could afford health insurance. Impossible. I was a fool to suggest otherwise.
This week I learn that someone living in California making $60,000 a year can contribute $250,000 to Democratic candidates over a three year period, and there is nothing to see here. In fact, we are told, it is a perfectly ordinary expenditure.
It's is amazing the changes this week wrought. Last week, $60,000 a year meant you should be put on public assistance, this week $60,000 a year means we can expect folks to have the odd quarter million dollars lying around to donate to Democratic causes.
Uh, yeah.
