I’ve always thought Barry’s goal is to ram as much Marxism through congress as possible as fast as possible even if it costs him the next election. It’s got to be done in the dark of night or it will be bitterly opposed. Once in the light, he’s toast. Also, his provisions are being phased in over time so he has cover (like the “stimulus” being dribbled out over multiple years so it doesn’t tank the economy or cause hyperinflation) while he’s building a Marxist monopoly.
Now that I can completely agree with. Nice post.
I figured he had to ram it all thru ASAP so they could spend the remaining 3+ years getting people to forget what happened. Americans tend to have short memories, and he’d want to take advantage of that. Drop the whole thing in place fast enough to avoid debate, then act like it’s all perfectly normal and spin & obfuscate his way to the next election. It would be even more pressing for Congress, facing 2010 - get it all done in about 6 months, then do damage control from there. The key for them is getting the socialist/marxist/fascist axioms into law ASAP. Once in place, work the new status quo.
