We all remember the Tea Party folks and all those related American voters who said, “Government should be run like a business.” Admittedly, this has a certain appeal. Until you think about it, that is.
It’s worth going back to what the Founding Fathers had to say about the purpose of government. Here’s what Thomas Jefferson on the subject: (Government exists) to secure the rights of the people, such as life, liberty, and property, and to prevent tyranny.
The financial aspects of government were of importance over the years, but the concept of profit-making didn’t appear on anyone’s list until the late 20th Century.
Having said this, let’s agree that government should make certain “investments” in the well-being of its people, and education may be chief among these.
No one expects U.S. educational standards to make quantum leaps each year, but we as a nation would be well-served if our children were seen as important “investment opportunities” in our country’s long-term future.
If it weren’t for the extreme danger he represents to everyone on this planet, RFK, Jr. would be a fairly good joke.
The idea that the president of the United States would appoint a first-class crackpot with dozens upon dozens of gross and deeply felt misconceptions concerning science to be in charge of Americans’ health is just amazing.
It would have taken the average citizen literally months of research to find someone so manifestly unqualified for the position.
Among other criticisms, Milley was quoted as calling Trump “fascist to the core” in “War,” a book by journalist Bob Woodward published last year.
I believe that it’s only a matter of time before Trump gives an order that clearly transcends legal and/or ethical boundaries, causing not only Milley but a great number of our nation’s other top military leaders to refuse to comply. In fact, it’s amazing that such a watershed event hasn’t happened yet.
The reason this seems inevitable is that there are so many arenas in which Trump’s wishes undercut non-negotiable parts of American life, especially the U.S. Constitution.
Suppose, for a moment, that Trump wants to run for a third term. I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that two terms is the maximum that can be served by any given president, and it wasn’t “Better Homes and Gardens.”
Seriously, it’s hard to imagine that Trump and the military can go on indefinitely without coming to loggerheads.
Imagine that Trump says, “I’m invading Greenland.” A few minutes later, The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says, “The f*** you are.”
It’s only a matter of time.
