Chipped beef on toast

“‘Boy, it is a new day in Washington.’ Here [Obama's Quiet Fight Against Poverty].”
 — Norman Geras

Extraordinary, indeed. O, that it were only to be four months instead of years, Norm.

The Obaminator's "quiet fight against poverty" is neither quiet, nor a fight, nor against poverty. It is in fact (my own personal fact) a grandiosity in support of redistribution of wealth, or, in Obama-speak, a Superman-made overhaul of capitalism as we know it into what we used to revile as socialism.

Yes, a few bones have been tossed to the downtrodden. But this has come about as a trickle-down after-effect of leveling the engines of entrepreneurship, competition, and a willingness to excel. The fools rejoice at the lunch-counter they perceive to be free. Little do they know that the government menu contains just a few variants of shit on a shingle.
