The fools who run this place

DispatchPolitics : U.S. Rep. Austria blames Depression on Roosevelt Columbus Dispatch Politics:
"'When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression,' (US Rep Steve) Austria (R-MoronOhio) said. 'He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That's just history.'"


Shouldn't a basic grasp of a country's history be necessary to be a member of one its parliamentary houses? Further, I wonder if right this second King could pass the citizenship test administered to people trying to become naturalized citizens. I would bet against him. Honestly, just based on the above statement, I would bet against him passing it.
