You can do one of two things to experience the sheer imbecility of the GOP's weekly address. You can read it, or you can jump in your time machine and set course for ca. 1928.
Here's Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada, loyal partisan of the Hoover-McConnell administration:
Let’s pass a balanced budget amendment to force the federal government to live within its means, repeal the president’s small business killing Health Care law, open up our country to energy exploration, and reverse the regulations that are tying the hands of entrepreneurs across America.
That's their platform, folks: ideological revanchism. And why not? It worked out so well before.
