Draggingtree Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I Am the Very Model of a Modern US PresidentJUNE 20, 2015Julian Adorney As election season ramps up, many people are falling into political camps and assuming that their candidate will be wholly different from either the current administration or the contenders in the other camp. But for the past eighty years, United States presidents have been remarkably similar once in office. Most presidents, whatever their promises as candidates (usually to shrink parts of government) end up waging wars overseas and expanding government control here at home. The problem is not any one politician, be it Barack Obama, or George W. Bush, or Ronald Reagan. The problem is the institution as a whole. To commemorate the beginning of the 2016 election season, I’ve penned new lyrics to be sung to the tune of “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance: https://mises.org/library/i-am-very-model-modern-us-president Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
