Your Nanny State Superiors Know What’s Best for You America
Team O and our social betters in Washington know what’s best for everyone. Energy Secretary Steven Chu really let the nanny state mask slip on this one.
“When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.”
“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”
And what’s at the center of Chu’s agenda? Cap & Trade and the stupid belief that “green jobs” are the key to our wounded economy.
“Asked if he expected a town-hall style pushback, Dr. Chu said he was optimistic the public would buy the administration’s arguments that energy efficiency and caps on greenhouse-gas emissions will spark an economic rebound.”
“I don’t think so…maybe I’m optimistic, but there’s very little debate” that a new green energy economy will bring economic prosperity, Mr. Chu told reporters.”
Steven Chu is just one more example of what’s wrong in Washington and one more example of the nanny staters who think they know what’s best for everyone. I’m reminded of Andrea Mitchell’s mask slip moment in July:
