“The more one considers the matter, the clearer it becomes that redistribution is in effect far less a redistribution of free income from the richer to the poorer, as we imagined, than a redistribution of power from the individual to the State.” Bertrand de Jouvenel
President Present-Elect BO plans to use his executive powers to signal change, plans to use his executive powers to signal change , plans to use his executive powers to signal change, plans to use his executive powers to signal change…. Four pages of Google results later, every headline of every media outlet I found is parroting the exact same thing. Or the variant…BO could use his executive powers to at least signal that Washington is changing, is changing, is changing, is……
Not one of them had much of substance to say. Of note, no one knows if BO will appear in the Senate for votes during the post election session this month. BO’s presence would be extraordinary, given his position as present-elect, (actually it would have been extraordinary if he had appeared most of time he was supposed to be there, before the election). I expect if he does actually show up, it will be to vote “Present”.
Can you say “Polly wants a cracker?” Sorry Polly, your cracker has been redistributed to more deserving parrots.
PS I find it ironic that the google ads that appear just to the left of most of the articles read:
“Find low prices on Executive Power and save.”
“Give the Gift that Keeps on Giving. Shop executive power at Exava.”
“Find Bargain Prices On Executive Power.”
From what I can see we ain’t gettin no bargain.
