If you think lane closures are only in vogue at the New Jersey Governor’s office, think again! The entire Republican Party has been infected with the lane closure bug, and the infection makes Chris Christie’s George Washington Bridge fiasco look like child’s play. The G.O.P. wants to close the poor student’s free lunch lane, the needy family food stamp lane at the grocery store, the sick person’s lane to the hospital, the homosexual’s lane to the benefits of marriage, the minority’s lane to the voting box, the immigrant’s lane to citizenship, the consumer’s lane to redress in the courts, the worker’s lane to a livable minimum wage and the retiree’s lane to a secure retirement.
On the other hand, Republicans have gone to great lengths to keep open the lanes to a gun purchase, the lanes for campaign donors to make contributions and the lanes for lobbyists to ply their causes at free lunches.
Is it any wonder that our Nation’s traffic has come to a virtual halt?
