In Washington in recent weeks, this background has come fore, with every day bringing fresh news of some new anti-worker change in policy or payback to Governor Bush s business campaign contributors.
Business is in complete control of the machinery of government.
Simply because the public wants it. And the public is getting restive. An old saying has it that the people lose every battle but the last. Especially if the Bush administration continues to grossly overreach, the next battle in the U.S. could be a big one, and it will go to those who can convert that restiveness to a policy program better reflecting those values. Such program needs to be attentive to current needs, practical, and skeptical of big government solutions to everything, but it can also be quite radical in its departures from present policy.
