Dear Reader,
It seems to me that we have entered into a new age. The synchronistic events that have witnessed are historic. The International Capitalist Party welcomes the fact that a man of African descent has entered into the halls of power in the United States. President Elect Obama now has the most difficult presidency of any man to date, save one.
With his party in such total control of both the Senate and the House he will be tempted by the Devil himself. The Ruling Party has the ability to call a constitutional convention. With only a few members of the Minor Party’s defecting to the Ruling Party’s Cause. That is how much power the Ruling Party has at this time.
The only other time this much power was given to one Party, at the beginning of a recession, our grandparents and great grandparents experienced the Great Depression, culminating in the Second World War. The similarities are amazing.
We are at the beginning of a recession, caused in part, by a disruption in the Banking Sector. We have a recently beaten enemy..? We have a historic President. The “unbiased” media is largely on the side of the Party in power. And Power is focused in the hands of a few individuals with no one else having any real constitutional power to check it.
President elect Obama will have to try to reign in his temptations to change what has worked for two hundred years. Else he risks things going wildly astray. (As they always have… historically). Innovations in government should be well thought out. But more importantly they must stand the test of generations.
An idea will have real merit if it can stand the test of being believed in for three or more generations. If an idea has a life of one generation, and only a few of them believe it, it cannot be said to be of real merit. However if an idea can stand the test, of a majority, of three or more generations believing in the idea, the idea in question is clearly of merit and should be put into use… prudently.
To date the best means to this end is a weak government. A strong government can implement any whim it sees fit to thrust on society. Innovation after innovation. Chaos that freezes up markets. A blanket of snow under which nothing can grow. The snow must melt before spring can come. The innovations are the snow. The craziest of which must be rolled back. Then the shock must be let to set in. The market will adjust but it needs time for the thaw.
When government is weak, it must have the majority of the people, for an extended period, to make innovations. When this is the case, the innovations are planned for in advance and the market can adapt before the innovation is implemented. The markets are not disrupted and the economy continues to grow.
President Elect Obama will be at the helm of the most powerful government in three generations. Lets pray he takes the prudent course of action and history is not repeated…
