The Obamas vs. the Private Sector

The Obamas are officially at war with "corporate America." Michelle Obama famously told young Americans not to, because apparently we don't need anybody in the private sector. It's ok, because their stimulus will fail miserably, proving once and for all the need for the private sector. I expect we'll be on track pretty soon. I suspect congress will be a lot less redistributionist in 2010.

a new deal

The way we treat minorities now works out badly for all parties; minorities are miserable, so we feel guilty, so we give them money, which discourages them from working, making them miserable, making us guilty... We need to break the cycle. We have to eventually give them no money, but giving them less is a good start. The poor hold us hostage by threatening to riot, rob, and ransack if we cut them off. But that is just a bluff, one that we have to call. There is a reason we have police. They are easily equal to the task. Secondly, cuts in public aid would take years and years to happen, plenty of time for any one who isn't mentally retarded or insane to start taking care of themselves.
