i saw through this from day one...

in some sense, he's using the same kind of language we heard from other charlatans like barack obama, when he talks of "bipartisanism" and "ending partisanship". that is code for handing over power to the corporate sector, and has been for quite a while. but, he's added a new layer to it - he also talks of "independent oversight" in the same way, which essentially means removing oversight from government.

it's not that this is new, overall. i mean, that's what nafta is, to an extent. instead of having real courts apply real laws, they set up these kangaroo courts staffed by corporate cronies that rule on whether a policy will affect profits, at the behest of just about anything else. and, what are these kangaroo courts? they're "independent advisory committees - just like those phony nafta panels.

what is new is that i've never heard a politician talk like this, or to try to generalize the process so widely.

so, what we have here is really a whole new level of corruption, in a politician that appears to be actively working with industry to entirely dismantle the entire role of government oversight. it took way too long for people to figure it out, but better late than never...
