Doctor Knows Best

[PoliticalChic]

It sure isn’t your daddy’s Democrat Party.



1.America was created as a place where citizens select other citizens to rule. That is not the view of Progressives from Woodrow Wilson on, that government should be run by unelected bureaucrats who will do a better job than the deplorables.

“Rather than the people being governed by elected representatives, the three branches, “Woodrow Wilson gave the administrative state its rationale: he held that government by nonpartisan, public-spirited, Ivy League–trained experts making rules in such agencies as the Federal Trade Commission or the Interstate Commerce Commission would be infinitely wiser, more efficient, and more responsive to changing conditions and the evolving spirit of the age than the Framers’ government of limited and separated powers, a clockwork relic in the electricity age.”
The Court Moves Right


We were never meant to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats, doctors, judges, etc. and certainly not by foreign entities like the WHO.
We were meant to self-govern.


2. This is the idea of the ‘administrative state.’
" ... there’s a tendency among bureaucrats, politicians, academics, and other members of the New Class to convince the people to hand over the major decisions of their lives to the “experts.” These experts aren’t all in the government, but they all collude with government to convince people that the experts have all the answers and that the people need to hand the reins over to them. They will tell us what to eat, what to drive, what to think.
It’s an approach that puts politics before medicine or economics. Because it is an attempt to politicize peoples’ lives.”
Nazis: Still Socialists, by Jonah Goldberg, National Review




It is the doctrine of the administrative state, one run by unelected experts, bureaucrats, scientists, technocrats who know what is best for everyone else. These ‘special’ individuals would never make choices designed for their own aggrandizement.
You buyin’ that?

‘Cause if your are, get ready for mask mandates, lockdowns, legalized injections….with lots of boosters.

Not for a minute. The only way the needle is going into my arm is in cold dead flesh. And woe be to anyone who gets close enough to try it by physical force.

Not only is Fau-Chi a liar, but he started the covid pandemic by paying the Chinese Wuhan Lab, run by a Chinese general, to do "gain-of-function" research on bat vituses to make them more deaadly to humans. How fucking stupid is that?

But...but......what will I do if they require vax passports here:

• Bergdorf Goodman. Personality: You are the ULTIMATE hostess. ...
• Nordstrom. Personality: You are the thoughtful friend and ultimate gift giver. ...
• Neiman Marcus. Personality: You're old school and glamorous, darling. ...
• Barneys New York. ...
• Saks Fifth Avenue. ...
• Bloomingdale's.

3. A perennial mistake that folks make is awarding an undeserved objectivity, trustworthiness and/or knowledge in some realm totally distinct from that one in which someone gained celebrity status, awarded by the state media.
Nowhere is this more evident that that awarded to politicians, economists, bureaucrats, and weathermen….and, it seems, doctors.


But awarding same to those nominally known as ‘scientists’ is surely a close second. Biases, preferences, politics and credit card debt all enter ‘scientist’s’ claims as do they any average citizen.


The mistake most make is imputing an honor and knowledge to celebrities which is undeserved. Lots of folks seem to simply move, as Willie Sutton did, to where the money is.
From the Russia Hoax to the impeachment hearings we see the proof that is no longer the case that truth is an element of their expertise, the new ‘ghost’ rulers of the country.

And lied to Congress about it.

 

[colfax_m]

America was created as a place where citizens select other citizens to rule

Mmm, not exactly.

Sure. We elected representatives to the House.

But Senators weren’t elected. They were chosen by state representatives.

The president wasn’t elected either but chosen by the electoral college.

Not to mention that voting was highly restricted to a subset of the population.

America was actually created as a place where the citizens were largely prevented from doing just as you say.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

The key is the support by the media. Fauci would have been laughed all the way to the penitentiary if the media showed any outrage regarding his financial and moral support for the Chinese lab that allegedly created the virus. As long as the media remains the propaganda arm of the democrat party, unelected and unidentified power brokers will remain puppet masters for the administration, especially a weak administration like Biden.

there you go lying again,, the EC is a vote not a selection,,,

 

[colfax_m]

there you go lying again,, the EC is a vote not a selection,,,

It’s both.

What it isn’t, and this should be clear to everyone with a brain, is the people choosing their rulers as it was established by the founders.

The American myth is strong.

wrong again,,, the people of each state vote for that state and the states send their votes for a final tally,,

not sure why you insist on lying,, if you hate this country so much why dont you just leave instead of forcing your views on the rest of us??

Not sure what EC you’re talking about.

At the founding of the nation, the citizens (some of them who were allowed) voted for electors and the electors voted for whoever they wanted.

The founders specifically intended to prevent the people from choosing the ruler.

Well we just tried a amateur politician who knew nothing about government, Mr. Trump, but most voters thought he did not do a very good job. I think it is telling that a thread titled Doctor Knows Best is in the Political forum. There is a reason we turn to experts, they have the knowledge the rest of us don't. They are not perfect but they are better than the alternative.

they intended the people choose through their states,,

you always put a little truth in with your lies to distort the bigger picture,,
dont worry we all know you do it,,

You are ignoring the entire purpose of the EC.

The founders did not trust the people to chose.

Yet produced a miraculous economy and foreign policy.



Reminder:



Trump achievements.


“Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy,” the statement begins, noting the administration achieved an “unprecedented economic boom.”

In addition to 7 million new jobs — “more than three times government experts’ projections” — the administration said that annual income for middle-class families grew by nearly $6,000, or “more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.”

Weeks before state and local governments began shutting down their economies, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, “the lowest in a half-century,” the administration said.

In fact, in March 2019, CBS News reported that there were a million more jobs available in the U.S. than unemployed workers — a fact noted by the administration, which said it “achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job hirings.”

Nearly 160 million Americans were employed pre-pandemic, another record, as “jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low,” the White House said.

As incomes gained “in every single metro area” in the country for the first time in almost 30 years, the number of people “claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record,” the administration said.

The list of accomplishments also noted an oft-repeated point — that during Trump’s term, blacks and Hispanics, as well as Asian-Americans and Native Americans all achieved record low unemployment rates. So, too, did Americans with disabilities and workers without a high school diploma, the administration said.

“The bottom 50 percent of American households saw a 40 percent increase in net worth,” said the administration, adding: “Wages rose fastest for low-income and blue collar workers – a 16 percent pay increase.”

Meanwhile, “African American homeownership increased from 41.7 percent to 46.4 percent,” the White House noted.

More than 1.2 million factory and construction jobs were created, as the president enacted “policies to bring back supply chains from overseas,” the list notes.

The administration also touted the meteoric growth in the various U.S. stock indices, which have been good for businesses as well as average Americans’ retirement accounts tied to the markets.

One of President Trump’s 2016 campaign pledges that went unfulfilled was the passage of a massive infrastructure rebuilding project to repair and replace aging, crumbling bridges, roads, sewers, and water systems. But the administration did manage to invest “over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America,” the list notes.

The administration also touted the president’s COVID-19 policies that included a rejection of “blanket lockdowns” as vital to the economic rebound seen in recent months.

“During the third quarter of 2020,” the White House said, “the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent — the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded.”

“Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost,” says the White House. “Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery.”

The White House said that under President Barack Obama, “it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent” following the Great Recession” to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration” following the mass joblessness created by mandated business closures and the pandemic.

At the same time, “80 percent of small businesses are now up, up from just 53 percent in April.”

Additional accomplishments noted by the administration include:

— The creation of more than 9,000 “Opportunity Zones” to attract business investment and create jobs;

— Tax relief for corporations, businesses, and the vast majority of American workers;

— The elimination of reams of regulations, which has added to the country’s economic growth;

— Pursued “fair and reciprocal trade” agreements that put the United States first, including withdrawal “from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership” and replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA);

— “Historic support for American farmers”;

— Making the U.S. “a net energy exporter” for the first time in seven decades;

— Approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines;

— Increased access to the country’s “abundant natural resource in order to achieve energy independence”;

— Built more than 450 miles of new border wall and secured agreements with countries to house migrants there instead of in the U.S.;

— “Fully enforced the immigration laws” of the country;

— Got NATO countries to significantly increase their contributions to the alliance, as per their initial agreement;

— Strengthened and rebuilt the U.S. military;

— Reduced U.S. troop presence in war zones overseas;

— Brokered several historic peace deals between long-time enemies in eastern Europe and the Middle East;

— Moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to the capital of Jerusalem, though the three previous presidents pledged to do so;

— Defeated ISIS

— Sped development of two new vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic in record time.
