There is little doubt that whether or not the economy ever returns to something resembling normalcy again, the government’s influence on our daily lives, absent a historic pushback, will be demonstrably larger…government has become bigger, bolder, and more intrusive, while a worried private sector has contracted. Is there any good reason to believe that this has not been part of the plan all along?
No.
Jobs saved or created (whatever) as a function of the Porkulus are largely bureaucratic, government jobs, inflating the size of government in constantly upping the number of small-minded, small-thinking micromanagers. When your mind is as microscopic as the P-O-R hive mind, it’s impossible to respect and understand what the unfettered, free human being can achieve. Those who would “pole vault” over the wishes of the American people, à la Pelosi, on healthcare and everything else under the sun are likely jealous of achievers.
It’s difficult to not see a nefarious purpose, an intentional agenda, in the growing of the government bureaucracy to the exclusion of productive human activity where people actually do things, produce things.
