I don't see the political leverage. Apart from "socialist conspiracy" or some other Rush-ism, what is the political angle on this?
I'm surprised you don't see this Thom.

To politicians, it means an excuse to regulate and control even more of our lives. To bureaucrats, it means an excuse for even more budget dollars. For the UN and other external political bodies, it means an excuse to regulate and control the output of the U.S. economy.
