The Secret Sauce of Politics

The Weekly Standard "Washington transformed into a hotbed of new policies, programs and initiatives, bringing government activities and political bargaining closer than ever before. Any citizen watching developments in federal spending and debt, health care, student loans, energy, and the financial services sees federal activity growing like a thunderhead. Washington now finds policies to “fix” every problem; it uses crises and villains to leverage more ambitious goals. The president again on Tuesday night used the BP disaster to promote his broader agenda. For many, it looks like Obama and his party needs political Ritalin.
"Most Americans want a government that works, not an ever-expanding Leviathan that can’t sit still."
