In keeping with a theme of Codevilla’s essay (required reading), what you’ve suspected all along, why no one pushing Obama’s agenda in DC is particularly interested in the content of the convoluted, massive legislation they’ve passed or the convoluted, massive legislation they are working to pass.
The specifics don’t matter. What matters is the transfer of control from the private sector to the ruling class, the federal government.
The real goal of “healthcare” legislation, the real goal of “cap-and-trade”, and the real goal of the “stimulus” is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control.
(And who needs the legislature, anyway ? Members of Obama’s regime are contemplating …”a non-legislative version of amnesty” as we speak. They’re also working on, EPA style, a non-legislative version of cap-and-trade. Congressional process is such a bulky old impediment to the agenda !)
