Obama is making a bid to "consolidate" and "streamline" government.
This is politics, in my opinion, calculated in part to make him look like he wants a "smaller government", to blunt 2012 thrusts by the Dead Elephant Party.
Poppycock.
Government is not being reduced in scope. None of the unconstitutional departments are being disbanded.
This is not a move towards smaller government, it is a move towards bigger, more centralized government with less and less oversight at any level.
The Dead Elephants will go along with this one, says my crystal ball. They don't have a choice, as far as I can tell.
Even if the Dead Elephants were the party of individual freedom (they're not), they're outclassed and outmaneuvered by POTUS on this one.
Do not be deceived. Government never cedes power, it never acts against its own power and interests.
Government's interests are not yours and mine. Government's power is derived from where?
From the power it takes from you.
That is, from the power you choose to allow it to take from you.
Resist.
You got that right.Expect more spineless opposition from the Dead Elephant party.
