Well, duh... Of COURSE it's about POWER...!
i'm sorry, but reading stuff like this grinds my ass...
anybody who's been using their alloted complement of brain cells could have easily seen that the whole GODDAM THING has ALWAYS been about power... power controls who gets the money... sharing power with unions or employee groups is anathema to the super-rich and holders of capital because it means cutting back on the volume of the rivers of cash flowing into their pockets...
i admire ezra klein, but his unabashed admiration and praise for jonathan chait for figuring this out and getting it in print, for me, is a day late and a dollar short... Submit To Propeller
