Technocracy 101: If Fed and CDC Are \u2018Independent,\u2019 Elections Mean Nothing<\/h1>\n

Basic civics recap: the US president, per the Constitution, is the elected executive<\/em>. That means he is tasked with executing<\/em> government functions.<\/p>\n

He is granted \u2013 again, through a theoretically democratic election process \u2013 the authority to dictate government activities within the confines of the laws. The legislative branch passes laws; the judicial branch vets them for constitutionality; the executive implements them.<\/p>\n

The process, as designed, is not at all vague.<\/p>\n

How odd, then, that the Biden White House press secretaries \u2013 first Jen Psaki and now the admitted diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre<\/a> \u2013 repeatedly undermine their own president\u2019s executive authority.<\/p>\n

Whenever they\u2019re asked about Federal Reserve or CDC (Centers for Disease Control) policies \u2014 government agencies under the umbrella of executive authority \u2014 they refuse to give a straight answer on the grounds that the government body in question is \u201cindependent.\u201d<\/p>\n
