"Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government
official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply
one of the many "czars" appointed by the president, could arbitrarily
cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90
percent?" "Did you think
that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That
there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers – that is, to create
a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government
liking what they publish?""Did
you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of
so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get lifesaving
medical treatments?""Does
any of this sound like America?"
