WSJ staes that:
Mr. Sunstein has long been an advocate of behavorial economics in setting policy, the notion that people will respond to incentives, and has argued for restraint in government regulations. As such, he was met with skepticism and opposition by some liberals when he was chosen at the start of the Obama administration.This is only partly true. His supposed support of "incentives" is phony as is his call for "restraint" on government regulations. He is a believer in setting up phony options that "nudge" people in certain directions, only because the other options set up are even less tolerable.
I suspect his footprint is all over policy in the Obama administration, with his phony "options"
That you get the "choice" of being groped or radiated by the TSA is likely because of Sunstein. I suspect those "choices" were inspired, if not directly created by Sunstein.
The evil bastard will not be done with his evil doing, however, after he leaves WH. He is going to teach at Harvard, and while this is a position that will keep him from imposing his direct nudging schemes, I'm sure he will direct into government many mini-nudgers. Libertarians at Harvard should take his course and report on what this crazed totalitarian is teaching.

ReplyDelete"Evil Bastard" doesn't go far enough. 'Evil Commie Bastard' based on his tax views:
ReplyDeleteSunstein has argued, “We should celebrate tax day.”[24] Sunstein argues that since government (in the form of police, fire departments, insured banks, and courts) protects and preserves property and liberty, individuals should happily finance it with their tax dollars:
In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live? Without taxes, there would be no liberty. Without taxes there would be no property. Without taxes, few of us would have any assets worth defending. [It is] a dim fiction that some people enjoy and exercise their rights without placing any burden whatsoever on the public… There is no liberty without dependency.[24]
Sunstein goes on to say:
If government could not intervene effectively, none of the individual rights to which Americans have become accustomed could be reliably protected. [...] This is why the overused distinction between "negative" and "positive" rights makes little sense. Rights to private property, freedom of speech, immunity from police abuse, contractual liberty and free exercise of religion—just as much as rights to Social Security, Medicare and food stamps—are taxpayer-funded and government-managed social services designed to improve collective and individual well-being.
Wow. Aside from repeating a number of lies and fallacies... he actually believes this shit? No wonder he works for Obama.
DeleteI hope he is taking his evil wife with him since she is as evil as he
DeleteMay he rot in hell with the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteRobert Wenzel is a true defender and seeker of truth. And everyone should check out another great defender of liberty, Luke Rudkowski, as he questions the evil Cass Sunstein. Luke never fails in his quest to expose these lying control-freaks.
ReplyDeleteYour title is misleading: "The Evil One is Leaving the White House". I would posit that there are many "evil ones" in this particular white house. Sunstein, however, just might be the most intransigent, and his policies the most insufferable, of them all.
ReplyDelete"Libertarians at Harvard": isn't that an oxymoron?
ReplyDeleteI can't say i'm all that sad at Sunstein inadvertently nudging himself out of his position but I do confess a trace of sympathy for the moron. I mean, you dedicate yourself to trying to impose liberal ideas on people by giving them the illusion of choice and fail because the only people to dumb enough to buy your 'libertarian' hustle are liberals themselves. If you're going to try and advance by fooling people it's best to remember who the fools are, Cass.
ReplyDeleteCriticizing the US President is a silly and futile exercise... Obama takes no decisions whatsoever. All important decisions get taken by the Zionist cartel in charge, the owners of the Federal Reserve, whose names we know well. It doesn't matter who is in the WH or from what party he comes. It's all going to be the same for as long as the Zionist cartel remains in power behind the scenes.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
