DA=W GA+W=X=DA

I have a fake formula for countering almost any GOP policy idea, at least in principle. It is doomed to fail to convince any devoted righty, as it relies on logic, but reason and logic do matter, despite the current GOP morondoxy (that's right moronic orthodoxy - morondoxy)

Let's cite an example of the formula in action...

You hear the GOP claiming to want to do something different than the status quo all the time. For instance, end the Environmental Protection Agency as it is "job killing". Here's the formula in practice.

Democratic Action (DA) was done for a reason, so what is that reason (W for Why?)
GOP Action (GA) is to do something different, in this example, kill the EPA. So how does this new GA solve for W (Why the DA was created in the first place?)
Usually the answer is X, and in most cases there is no answer or thought behind it.
Therefore the only rational solution is to maintain DA, the status quo.

So, the same example in prose now.

Democrats created the EPA for many reasons but one was an agency to make policy to prevent one state from polluting their neighboring states. So DA (creating EPA) was (W) to prevent state pollution of other states (and much more). So what is the proposed GOP Action (GA)? And how does this proposed GA action solve for W (Why the EPA was created in the first place)? Usually the answer is, it does not solve for it. Therefore status quo is the better idea in our meritocracy.

So in the end DA=DA. If you're idea is NOT better, it loses.

Simple.
