The key to maximizing state power is making sure that large proportions of the population are dependent upon said state for their daily bread. The more dependent they are on state action, the more dependent they will be upon those who control the levers of state power. Stanley Kurtz points out that the Obami's utterly irresponsible actions are simply an effort to get so many people so deeply dependent upon the government that they will form a permanent governing coalition of takers that can overwhelm the producers. The battles in places like Madison are simply the front lines in this push.
It's worked in Chicago (well not for Chiicago, whose population plummeted in the last decade and who is at risk of being passed by Houston as the Third city), why not in America? Hat tip Carpe Diem
