And The Beat – and The Status Quo - Goes On
P. Schultz
Below is a link to an
article from Politico, illustrating that the Republicans not only have done
almost nothing since the election but that they are unlikely to do much of
anything during this session of the Congress. As readers of these pages should
recognize, none of this is surprising. Preserving the status quo, in the face
of widespread popular anger and dissatisfaction, is what our ruling political
class is all about.
Plus ca change, plus
c'est la meme chose. Has anyone noticed thaGt the Republicans not only have
"failed" to repeal and replace "Obamacare" - it isn't a
"failure" if they never intended to do it - but that they have passed
no significant legislation? And Trump's tax "reform" is dead as well.
But these are not failures because the Republicans, like the Democrats, are
essentially status quo politicians, uninterested in real change because that
would undermine their power and threaten their reign. And the Trump circus
serves to hide this agenda, including the hysteria over those oh-so-dangerous
Russkies!! Gee whiz: The latter bleating by the Democrats and the media sounds
just like JFK in the 60s predicting "the apocalypse!"
