"The Hair and the Houngans
This is really telling: Donald Trump is finally facing an all-out challenge from conservatives — and it’s coming from the Club for Growth.
And who is the Club
for Growth? It’s the enforcer organization for voodoo economics, for the
claim, utterly refuted by all available evidence, that tax cuts for the
rich generate miraculous growth. (High priests in voudou are houngans,
hence my headline).
As I’ve been saying
all along, while it’s true that Trump is a blowhard talking nonsense
about policy, that’s true of every contender for the GOP nomination.
He’s just talking different nonsense. And Trumponomics is, if anything,
more sensible than the deep voodoo that has been embraced by Jeb Bush.
Trump isn’t a problem for Republicans; he’s a symptom of the problems Republicans have."The recession continues.

California is dryer this year than it has been in the tree ring record.
The timing of river flows is changing.
More water will come down from the peaks in winter and spring.
There will be less water coming down in summer.
