I hate to mention it, but...

Everyone criticizes the administration's short-sightedness, but has anyone speculated as to what might be motivating it?

I mean, think about it:

• Non-sustainable energy policy
• Burning bridges in our relations with other countries
• Deficit spending (buy now, pay later! It's the American way!)
• Screwing the environment
• Screwing education , childcare, healthcare, etc. (but Children Are the FUTURE!)
• Not bothering with an exit strategy for Iraq before invading it (or even now)

They're thinking like there's no tomorrow. You know what? Maybe they know something we don't. Maybe there really IS no tomorrow. Maybe they're planning a big nuclear fireworks show in 2008, or maybe they're some kind of paranoid death cult that thinks then date of the end specified in Revelation is SOON so they better live it up while they can.

I mean, what else could they possibly be thinking?
