The Republican Conspiracy Has Worked
Republicans should be thrilled with President Obama’s State of the Union address.
That’s because the extremely limited vision of government he presented last night is exactly what Republicans plotted to create since day one of the Obama White House.
In his fifth State of the Union address, the president essentially said that he is going to go it alone. His major policy plan for 2014 is to bypass Congress altogether and use targeted executive orders to get things done.
As part of this plan for a so-called “year of action,” the president said that he will soon issue an order unilaterally raising the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $10.10 an hour.
A flurry of executive orders is obviously better than nothing, but it’s hardly the kind of bold change this country needs to undo the destruction caused by thirty-three years of Reaganomics.
