    No, what we’re looking at here isn’t policy; it’s pieces of paper whose goal is to soothe the big man’s temper tantrums. Unfortunately, we may all pay the price of his therapy.

I don't like that hypothesis. Building my own (bear with me):

I doubt Obama Himself served as primary author on "his own" tax plan, and probably neither did either Bush, or really, any president, because they supposedly have capable teams of people they've selected to allocate those tasks to. Then they sign the thing, to great fanfare. That's more or less how it's always worked until mid-to-late January of this lovely year, right?

His staff, then, is either A) refusing to do it, B) can't do it, C) busy with something else, or (the classic) D) some combination of A), B), & C). Doesn't matter too much, we file this event under "unknowable", the 212,387th entry into a logbook that officially began recording about 100 days ago.

The document sounds suspiciously like a sketch Trump might've given Tax Team Alpha six months ago. One page. One. This might be a particularly loud message to Trump from his staff. (sigh... #212,388)

Now remove any semblance of uncertainty from what I just said, interpret it strictly along party lines, and run my soundbytes on primetime so we can make it reality ASAP. If Cadell were around, he might argue that this is what it looks like when a species' collective consciousness begins to awaken. My own approach to anthro would prolly be centered around some mangled wedding of informational treatment with network theory and neural networks, applied to memetics, culture, history, economics, dick pics, etc., etc. Blah blah blah internet blah changing the game (you just lost for the first time in years, btw). Very very trivial stuff, naturally, and left as an exercise to the reader.
