Before the presidential election, I expressed strong concerns about an Obama administration. On October 30, 2008, I wrote:
"In terms of domestic policy, the Obama-Pelosi-Reid team would seek to put into place the following program:
- increase taxes
- redistribute wealth
- punish those who succeed in personal enterprise
- discourage personal enterprise
- politicize the economy even beyond the current state of affairs
- discourage trade
- reward the elderly, the sick, and the young of today at the expense of the elderly, the sick, and the young of the next generation
- transfer even greater powers to the Federal Government
- attenuate even further the private sector in the USA
- arrogate even further the responsibility of the Federal Government to be the moral center of the country"
Things seem to be moving in the direction that I was afraid they might.
