So far, the White House has floated or proposed a Domestic Spending Freeze, which ought to be popular with TeaBaggers; an increase in Security spending, including the bloated Pentagon; cramming the worst aspects of HCR down the throats of the unwilling public right away and "considering something better" later on... eventually... well, maybe not, since we can't afford it; setting up a commission to recommend cuts to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid; and -- oh yes -- a handful of minor programs to ease the burden of childcare expenses and student loan repayments for those who are still employed and can remain employed. Good Luck. Suckers!!!!!
Willakers. This is getting worse by the minute.
It's all a sham? A shell game? A con?
Take that for granted. Please.
The point is that for whatever reason, the White House is bound and determined to carry out the Corporate "Destroy America" Agenda they were -- apparently -- put in office to accomplish, since Bush and Cheney couldn't, and they are using the same mindless bull tactics to do it.
With a slightly better message. Sometimes. When there is any message at all.
It's the New Normal. Conditioning the masses to accept their further downgrading; currying favor with the Powers That Be.
But as they go after their Corporatist Prize, they're coming apart, and as they come apart, so do the rest of us.
It is the Unraveling.
History doesn't quite know what happened to Akenaton and his Revolution, only that... it failed and the Amarna Experiment was destroyed and plowed into the sands of Egypt. Tutankhamen was a near relative and successor; all that survived was his tomb. Exquisite remains with neither past nor future, just frozen in the moment.
And Obama isn't even a Rebel.
Sad.
[Note to add: this is what was under all that gold and jewels and wrapped in fine linen]
