Government as an academic experiment
American Thinker ^ | 29 Nov, 2021 | Joe Strader

Most of the bad ideas and theories that currently hold sway in America originated in our academia. University professors use their position to indoctrinate their students with ideas that are untested and often just plain wrong. They have now succeeded in creating an army of graduates willing to implement these ideas, especially because many find jobs in government. These theories are now getting a real-world test on real people and the experiment is turning out exactly as might be expected.

The progressive Democrats are using a slim majority in Congress and a barely elected president to begin an experimental transformation, affecting almost every area of government. The professor class has become the ruling class. Professors are highly educated in their specific fields, but outside of STEM, few are highly educated in things that work.

Universities promote Marxist theories that Americans managed, for the most part, to ignore. However, there’s one form of Marxism spreading outside of the university. Secondary schools and even businesses are embracing Critical Race Theory or CRT. CRT is the racial adaptation of Marxist Critical Theory based on wealth or class. That is, this new American Marxism is built around race.

This racism is said to be part of the system and can only be eliminated by tearing down the system and rebuilding it. Critical Theories based on class have been tested repeatedly and found to fail. This Critical Theory experiment using race just might work to tear down the American system and rebuild it. No one really knows as it is an experimental work in progress.

Our government is experimenting with our financial future through Modern Monetary Theory or MMT, another academic theory. MMT is a radical departure from traditional economics about government spending. Central to MMT is the theory that government can print money...

Never paying down debt means certain collapse.

...and a barely elected president ...

Need to correct that - the current occupant of the office has not been elected by the people; he and his party organization are responsible for stealing the election ....

I understood MMT as the paradigm shift between that of governments raising taxes in order to spend money, to governments spending money in order to raise taxes.

The progressive Bidung government is experimenting with our financial future........undermining American families’ security through unproven academic theory.

Modern Monetary Theory or MMT, is a radical departure from traditional economics about government spending.

Central to MMT is the theory that government can print money. without paying down debt.

..

Polling underwater, the unpopular Bidung says his $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” is “progress” to get the economy back on track......snicker.

Sure thing....every family knows if you’re in debt and your finances are screwed up....just go out and spend even more money you don’t have.

Biding is a fetid pile of BS.

Unproven (and, indeed, invariably wrong) theories about climate change are being used to control our lives and commerce.

No one may question the theory or discuss proof that it may be wrong

Every day we are subjected to experimental policies that originate in faculty lounges and ooze out into our society through the graduates who have filled the ranks of federal, state, and local governments and regulatory agencies.
