Obama Science Czar John Holdren – American exceptionalism can be stopped via redistribution
Ah, another nutjob in the admin. While nutjob John Holdren doesn’t have any documented history of being a commie, racist, or 9/11 truther, he does want forced abortions per his 1977 book, AND now this video appears from 2007, in which Holdren claims a “strain” of “US exceptionalism” redistribution is the solution to curing this “problem”:
HOLDREN: There has been a strain of what many people call “US exceptionalism” in the United States, the notion that the United States is so big, so important, so powerful, so technologically advanced that it can and should do what it wants. I think this strain is misguided.
BRIT: Will Americans need to reduce their living standards? Is that politically viable, or will technology [unintelligible] do it?
HOLDREN: I think ultimately that the rate of growth of material consumption is going to have to come down, and there’s going to have to be a degree of redistribution of how much we consume, in terms of energy and material resources, in order to leave room for people who are poor to become more prosperous.
