And a depression from which civilization may not recover. But don’t fret. The DNC is trotting out Debbie Wasserman Schultz to warn the elderly that Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney want to shred their health safety net. By, you know, not touching it. So we’ll live. Besides, if things go sideways, it’s not like we can’t just print more money, right? I mean, that’s how economics works, if you’re nuanced

Ms Schultz, understandably, is quite flustered. After all, if you can’t rely on the mainstream press to act as your consistent ally and protector, how can you expect to explain the inexplicable, or to make the economic chimeras of “progressivism” sound even remotely plausible? — Though I do have to say that for his part, Mr Tinkles, the poodle who sleeps curled up atop the DNC Chair’s scalp, maintained his
