musing on a rainy afternoon

I am contemplating the rapid expansion of big government while I drink tea… upon which I did not pay a tax.

The expansion of spending is so massive that it will probably be impossible walk back the systemic changes which will be the inevitable result (which may be the whole point). 

Then the new global religion of environmentalism will be fused into the mix: to save the economy we have to save the environment.

The religious/environmental dimension will bring on board the rest of the world’s economic leftists.
