The headline from The Hill reads:
And if you are a member of the battered middle class, you have to wonder if that is good news or bad news.
The left, and elements of the Democratic party (which Senator Charles Schumer has said is “the party of government”), have long believed that the route to permanent political dominance is through tying the American middle class up with entitlements. Convince middle class Americans that health care, home ownership, higher education, etc. are gifts from the government rather than the fruits of their own labor, and you’ll have them forever. Docile and dependent.
The Obama administration is moving the middle class ever closer to a day when the descendants of the old American yeoman are merely subjects, ceding more and more power to the political class in the hope that it will “focus” on their needs.
