Management By Crisis, an eloquent play on words that makes for a superior sound-bite. This morning on Fox News, I caught the ending of a discussion, where the pundit had referenced the quote "never let a good crises go to waste" as the segue into stating that the progressives are purposely creating "crises" for the purpose of manipulating the public and politicians into implementing certain actions.
Management by Crisis, turns the idea of Crises Management on its head. Theoretically, crisis management seeks to identify potential future roadblocks and design strategies to avoid those roadblocks from materializing. Instead, Management by Crisis intends to make a potential crises into an actual crisis.
Since I only caught the end of that discussion, I didn't hear anything in terms of examples. Below are some brief summaries of Management By Crisis that is occurring today.
Immigration Crisis: Actually not a crises but a planned action by the Biden administration to let unvetted illegal immigrants into this country. Now the Democratic mayors of several cities are complaining that they don't have the resources to take care of the illegal immigrants. As a consequence, they are now demanding federal aid to take care of the illegal immigrants. Currently, the federal government has a spending problem (deficit spending), yet the mayors demand ever more money citing humanitarian concerns. Note, the obvious solution of closing the border and deporting the illegal aliens so that these funds would not be required are not mentioned by the Democrats.
The Debt Ceiling: Both the budgetary process and debt ceiling known processes with known deadlines. Yet for approximately the past 16 years, give or take, neither the Congress nor the Executive Branch have been abiding by those constraints. Basically, they have just arrogantly thumbed their noses at those constraints, yet they are the supposed "adults in the room" and leaders. The Democrats (with some gutless Republicans) recently pushed through the adoption of a massive spending package with massive deficit spending that would bust the debt ceiling. Obviously, the first question, why didn't they pass a spending package that would not bust the debt ceiling? They didn't, but they are now howling in anguish that the debt ceiling must be raised or the US won't be able to pay its bills. This is an affront to fiscal responsibility and an absurdity from those who are supposed to be the responsible adults in the room.
Student Loan Crisis: For many years going to college has been pushed. This really seemed to escalate under the Obama administration, especially with the federal government acquiring all the student loans and making them guaranteed. The result has been massive tuition increases with soaring student debt. Now, the progressive left wants all those debts cancelled citing humanitarian concerns. The issue of personal responsibility has been swept under the rug. Additionally, the responsibility and liability of the lenders and the colleges in creating this mess by the progressive left has been ignored. Yet they continue to demand that the taxpayer pay (who has no obligation) pay for those loans claiming that it is crisis that causes financial hardship to the students.
