This all looks suspiciously like a scenario for applying the Cloward-Piven strategy. If I was going to look for an attempt to go that route with the entire federal govt, it would look a lot like what we’re seeing now…

“First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”
