The Democrats' Road to Hell
American Thinker ^ | 29 Dec, 2020 | Tim Jones

The ruling political class will always present itself as the savior to all those unknowingly and adversely affected by problems it created in the first place.

The ruling political class in Washington D.C. is always making matters worse through what appear to be appropriate solutions for serious problems facing the country. Then when they don't work out as advertised many years after they've been implemented, they tell us that they've got the solutions for the newer, more serious problems that to the unsuspecting and unknowing public seem as if they came out of nowhere, and who are clueless as to how they began in the first place.

Two good examples of the long reach of history and major problems originating with Washington are one, how a permanent underclass that exists today was created during the 60s by Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs and the other, the Great Recession that began in 2008 when the country's financial system melted down and in turn created the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression that began in 1929.

It was Daniel Patrick Moynihan, one of the last great Democrats before the party became unmoored from any roots it had in traditional constitutional principles, sounded the alarm as Assistant Secretary of Labor in the Johnson administration that the new welfare state was creating an abundance of unintended consequences that were destructive to blacks, the primary demographic whom it was supposed to help. He came out with his "controversial" Moynihan Report in 1965 officially titled “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action,” that described those destructive consequences and how they started, the most significant one being the breakdown of the black family because of the perverse incentives created by welfare that was actually making poverty worse and creating a permanent underclass.

Communism has always created poverty. It gives the ruling elitists, who are rich with stolen wealth, the feeling of being gods.

Historically societies with large middle classes are the exception not the rule. We are about to be “ruled”.

“The entire aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and, hence, clamorous to be led, by an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

- H.L. Mencken
