QOTD: Former Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY)

Speaking about the regulation moratorium bill, I think he says it all:
The right wing does not have a record of doing things simply to waste time; it is deadly in earnest. Its opponents would be wise to take it seriously. The Republican leadership is putting this bill forward as a genuine proposal, and that ought to spark sharp debate – as well as opposition that spans partisan lines. Those who understand the consequences of this bill, including business leaders, ought to feel obligated to speak out.
Atlas may shrug, but mere mortals should take note. The right wing is serious about disabling the government.
