Use the right tool for the job

Democrats love their cookie cutter "solutions". It's the kind of tool for a uniform type of problem. It's not a specialized tool for a multi-faceted problem.





A search for cookie cutter government on YouTube yielded a video about immigration policy. During the discussion, the talk moved into a critique of "over-generalization". That must have been the sign of the cookie cutter mentality.





One size does not fit all. One tool does not work for all situations. Perhaps over-generalization leads to these cookie cutter "solutions" that do not work.





One thing DOES work though. Policy doesn't have to work. But winning elections allows you to set policies, even when the policies are bad. Democrats are bad at policy. But they seem to win elections.





Can the GOP figure that out? They haven't been doing it since the New Deal. Some folks think the GOP is learning. We'll see. We get a lot of bad policy. It shouldn't happen that way in a truly democratic society. However, we don't seem to have accountability. Where's the connections between policy and accountability for their outcomes? If that's missing, how can there be a true democracy?
