A Bold Plan Sweeps Away Reagan Ideas

If only. However, even Krugman approves, and since he is one of only a couple of hundred people who've actually read the monstrosity, this may be a sign of real change.

Now the question one asks, is why the Masters of the Universe would bankroll the One who brings it all about.

For your consideration:

...Before becoming Mr. Obama’s top economic adviser, Lawrence H. Summers liked to tell a hypothetical story to distill the trend. The increase in inequality, Mr. Summers would say, meant that each family in the bottom 80 percent of the income distribution was effectively sending a $10,000 check, every year, to the top 1 percent of earners.

Mr. Obama’s budget reflects that sensibility. Budget experts were still sorting through the details on Thursday, but it appeared that various tax cuts and credits aimed at the middle class and the poor would increase the take-home pay of the median household by roughly $800.

The tax increases on the top 1 percent, meanwhile, will most likely cost them $100,000 a year.

“The tax code will become more progressive, with relatively higher rates on the rich and relatively lower rates on the middle class and poor,” said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center in Washington. “This is reversing the effects of the Bush policies,” he added, and then going even further...

Why? Perhaps the best answer may be found from biology: the well-adapted parasite does not kill its host.

There are some places where the relationship is less the well-adapted one...

...As governors in nine states, mostly in the South, consider rejecting millions of dollars in federal stimulus money for increased unemployment insurance, there is growing anger among the ranks of the jobless in those states that they could be left out of a significant government benefit...

The problem is, those poor Southern whites have a long track record of shooting at exactly the wrong people.

So if you really wanted an excuse to impose martial law, you'd set brother against brother, by inciting the least rational against the rest.

It's what happened to the South in the Civil War. It benefited the Southern whites not one bit to lay down their lives so their aristocrats could continue to exploit their slaves. Of course, the reality of the situation was that the aristocrats also owned the "free" white people they "enlisted".

Of course, they didn't see it that way. That's what mind control is all about. That's what we're up against now, too.

Civil War II? No, another Company war, along the lines of what we've served up in Latin America. The real makeup of the sides, and who profits won't look anything like what's presented by the main$tream.

The blood will be real enough.
