Jared Bernstein is barking up the same old tree

More on Dysfunctionology: Minority Rules
… gerrymandering is clearly implicated. The fact of “safe,” noncompetitive districts…robs the political process of a disciplinary force, where members could conceivably be held to task for shutdowns and defaults.

He is back to micro-managing Congressional district boundaries. Jared is a government economist, fully committed to DC, where, among other thing, the Senate boundaries are 100% undemocratic and 100% gerrymandered. Most of what goes on in DC is about working around the Senate problem. So government economists always pick on the House, frightened to take on the big task least their puny career opportunities disappear.

Out here in the stronghold of the Undemocratic Party we fully appreciate that our One Fifth Senators are mere affirmative action ambassadors to DC. We get the barrage of disruptive programs from DC cost us 25% extra on our taxes. We know the Undemocrats have created an apartheid government. And we are 15% of the populations.
