This view of the State über alles is the mainstream view within the Democrat party.

I wish this would get more analysis and reporting but expanding the power and control of the State is now the prime goal of the Democrat party. Obamacare was the most recent step in that direction but the $3.5 T “infrastructure” is a huge leap in that direction.

The Democrats don’t want to govern, they want to rule. The path to the power to rule runs through the welfare state.

When you are dependent on the federal government for food, shelter, health care, education, retirement, child care, and a basic income you are no longer a citizen, you are a subject. Subjects do as they are told and have little to no power over their government.

This is their goal.
