A potemkin government is exposed

The era of the Progressive Democrat rule (Socialism) of governing, i.e., arresting everyone except Democrats and plundering their riches, has come to a halt. It’s almost impossible in the extended Obamaworld we’ve inhabited for the past four years for the middle-class doers and makers to gather any riches because of the inbred rapaciousness of the elite ‘experts’ who took upon themselves the mantle of superiority because they have PhD’s, lot’s of money and are better suited than the rest of us to rule. They assume that If they are our ‘betters,’ then it’s only right that they should enjoy the riches that we mere peasants provide. I hate being ruled, especially by “experts,” don’t you?

Somewhere along the line, we’ve become inured to the socialist idea of who is in charge of productivity, the supply and demand ethos of safe economics. It’s not just: “from you according to your ability, to you according to your need.” Instead, the elites demand, and we support their elite lifestyle. We’ve accepted the impractical issues that have been driving our economy of top-down edicts by ‘experts who know nothing about economics.

We think we live in a new era of knowledge and expertise based on the word of government science, but Biden’s government is a Potemkin1 government. We are now learning what happens when government-sponsored science turns out to be fake.

The government hides it, the media lies about it, and the scientists who know what’s really happening remain silent, fearful of losing their jobs and their scientific accreditation if they reveal the truth. That’s totalitarianism! Apart from our combat warriors, whistleblowers must be the next bravest class of people in society. They pay dearly for their defiance.

What our dalliance with the elite Progressive leadership since Obama has done is essentially destroy our trust in them. We no longer accept the versions the talking heads in the media give as they keep telling us that inflation is cooling when we know as a certainty it’s going up. We’re told to blame rising prices on greedy manufacturers and distributors of goods and services when the real villains are the self-important political class raking off profits for themselves.

Almost daily, we stand in amazement at what’s happening, and it becomes fairly obvious quickly that it’s not private enterprise trying to take advantage of governmental dysfunction but employers just trying to survive like the rest of us with very small profit margins. They are equally affected by inflated labor and transportation costs due to progressive economic theories that won’t work because they’re not based upon the principles of free enterprise but mandated control by government fiat. Our “betters” are mere theorists, not experienced producers who have no clue about the mechanics of production, and they fail every time they promise to “help the little people.”

Even as inflation swept through both consumer and producer markets, confusing who the bad guys really were, they altered all the proven principles of economic theory. By such, they’ve made housing all but unaffordable for everyone but the elite rich and insider traders (Pelosi), while urban office spaces hit the foreclosure market for a fraction of their original value. Because of Socialist economic policies, we are experiencing a mass movement of producers and workers out of urban and near urban cities and towns further into the hinterland, a bit closer to food production sources and less crime. They are preparing for the unthinkable, which everyone knows is coming, as the Democrats plan their comeback.

Clearly, big government has outgrown its usefulness. If it’s not trusted, why should it continue to exist? The Biden-Harris regime was way over their skis trying to mandate how Americans are to live. It’s time to trim back big government and let free enterprise create taxable wealth. The government’s only role then should be to keep private enterprises from becoming our betters. There must be a clear separation between production and state. For example, NASA has been around for decades! It put men on the moon, launched their Voyager’s outer space exploring vehicles two decades ago and still transmitting data; then, along came Obama, who shut down NASA space flights and turned the agency into a “Muslim outreach program.”
