Clark makes an interesting point

Popehat has the most ecclectic band of pundits and punsters. Yesterday blogger Clark offered up this bit of philosophical wisdom, and I'm not sure he isn't on to something.

"If a rawhide clad savage stood before a podium in Washington and told us that all of our problems could be solved if we, as a tribe, packed up and moved over that hill there, because there's a lot of rabbit, and maybe even some deer, we'd laugh at his naivety. 

 …and yet when representatives of the two major parties stand up in 300 year old clothes and tell us that the path to prosperity lies in moving over that hill there, because there's a lot of arable land and/or good paying factory jobs, we pretend we're hearing something other than rank idiocy."
