After a disastrous debate performance two weeks ago and a weak damage-control interview last Friday, it's finally become clear to almost everyone that President Joe Biden is not running the federal government.
Every four years, we're supposed to pretend that a single individual, who we collectively choose at the ballot box, takes charge of the federal government and acts as we would to address the problems we face at home and abroad. Biden's inability to get through a debate and a sit-down interview without issues shatters the illusion that he is the one running things in Washington and across America's globe-spanning sphere of influence.
If Biden is not actually running the government, who is?
Second, there are all the unelected bureaucrats who make up the permanent, administrative components of the federal government.
They are the people and firms who owe their profits and wealth to the actions of the federal government and who lobby and pay to use government power to line their pockets.
Court intellectuals use their establishment-sanctioned "Expertise" to argue that society's problems must be solved with government interventions.
The ever-growing interventions build up more government power that is then offered up to interested plutocratic buyers.
