If media leaks from his government are accurate, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is about to unleash in his Sept. 23 Throne Speech what the great conservative philosopher Thomas Sowell describes as “the vision of the anointed”.
With Trudeau poised to abandon traditional fiscal anchors on borrowed money, such as the inconvenient need to pay it back eventually, the PM and his brain trust are apparently considering everything from a guaranteed basic income to a slew of new and/or massively enhanced social programs.
Unfortunately, Sowell writes, the vision of the anointed is unaffected by the fact that their ideas and programs rarely achieve what is promised and often make things worse because of unintended consequences.
