HAH! Obamanomics, i love it.
there would be a good chunk of political theory in my writing and it's basically all about posturing and alarmism, which are the means by which the elected maintain and exercise power, respectively.
So, would alarmism include saying things like "pass this stimulus NOW or else a country in crisis will become a country in catastrophe!"
Or how about something like "this health care reform needs to happen NOW! Not because of politics, or [other mumbo jumbo], but because of necesity!"
Am I the only one who has noticed some certain tactics being used to scare people into passing bills faster than makes sense these days?
