Hillary addresses the deficit

The “fun deficit”, that is.

Hillary Rodham Clinton says the nation's political class could use "camps for adults" to foster cooperation but too many leaders get backed into partisan corners and refuse to work together.

Ace has a ton of fun with Hillary’s fun camps. And here's a video which captures this unique idea...



Spaß macht frei!

Now, a couple of things about these fun camps:

1) Attendance will probably be mandatory, since this idea is being floated by a Democrat, and

2) “Fun” will be defined by statute or (more likely) by an executive order, and in such a way as to completely alter the original meaning of the word.

Hillary envisions these camps to be primarily for members of the elected class, in order to counter excessive partisanship. The Book of Suggested Activities practically writes itself.

- The Establishment Republican trust challenge: a conservative senator or congressman – let’s say Ted Cruz - will be encouraged to fall backward into the arms of establishment Republicans like John Boehner and John McCain, who, at the last moment, will stick their hands in their pockets.

- The Taxpayer Fleecing Game: an effigy of a taxpayer is suspended at the end of a rope or cable. The effigy's pockets are stuffed with cash; however, the effigy has numerous little bells attached to it. Democrats and Republicans pair off into bipartisan teams, and the duo that lifts the most cash without ringing the bells wins.

- The quarter-mile Donation Dash: an equal number of Republicans and Democrats chase a mechanical lobbyist around an oval track.
