While I disagree with the administration’s ideology and policies, I support this approach. It is best for all politics in this country to be done with the highest possible degree of philosophical explicitness. That way the public/electoral response has the least likelihood of being blamed on non-philosophical factors. I am confident that Americans will react negatively to explicit socialism. And, if I am wrong, at least it will be clearer to me what kind of country I live in, which will better allow me to plan for my own (and my family’s) future.
