Beware: Felicia Wong is likely all too typical. <\/p>\n<p>Just <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/05\/top-treasury-adviser-called-for-fewer-cops-race-based-policy\/\">named<\/a> vice chair of the Treasury Department\u2019s new \u201cracial-equity\u201d committee,  Wong vows to \u201cmake racial equity central to the Treasury Department\u2019s mission.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Huh? Treasury\u2019s <em>actual <\/em>mission, per its <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/about\/general-information\/role-of-the-treasury#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20Department%20of%20the,of%20the%20financial%20system%2C%20and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, is to \u201cmaintain a strong economy,\u201d protect the nation\u2019s \u201cfinancial system\u201d and manage government finances. With the economy plainly <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/06\/larry-summers-says-unemployment-must-hit-6-for-fed-to-tame-inflation\/\">headed for full-on recession<\/a>, the financial system beyond shaky and the feds\u2019 finances dire (the national debt <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/04\/us-national-debt-surpasses-31-trillion-for-the-first-time-in-history\/\">just passed $31 trillion<\/a>), that\u2019s already more than enough work for Secretary Janet Yellen and her minions. <\/p>\n<p>But the prez is committed to pushing \u201cequity,\u201d the central buzzword for radical \u201cracial justice\u201d goals. So <em>every<\/em> agency has to set up a committee to (in Treasury\u2019s case) \u201cidentify, monitor and review\u201d aspects of the economy that have \u201cresulted in unfavorable conditions for communities of color.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That is, to twist <em>policy<\/em> along race-based lines. And Wong clearly got the job <em>because <\/em>of her radical views. She comes in from running the Roosevelt Institute, a think tank <a href=\"https:\/\/rooseveltinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/RI_A-New-Paradigm-for-Justice-and-Democracy_Report_202111-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that bashes<\/a> capitalism and seeks to place \u201cracial justice\u201d in the \u201ccenter\u201d of government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlways considering race in policy design\u201d is \u201cvital,\u201d argues a recent RI report Wong co-authored. It blasts \u201cskills-based, opportunity-focused liberalism,\u201d insists \u201cracial capitalism, white supremacy and patriarchy\u201d are \u201csignificant barriers to racial justice\u201d and slams the idea that \u201cmarket freedom and access or opportunity alone can bring about racial justice.\u201d Her report openly calls for wealth redistribution along racial lines: \u201cTrue equity means equity of outcome,\u201d she wrote. <\/p>\n<p>A 2020 report by Wong likewise slammed \u201cfree-market capitalist ideology.\u201d And now she\u2019s a top player at the US <em>Treasury<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The closest thing to a silver lining is that she can\u2019t do much at Treasury about the criminal-justice parts of her agenda, such as defunding police, ending cash bail and so on. (But, rest assured, other \u201cequity\u201d ideologues will push those goals at the Biden Justice Department, along with combatting the \u201cconstitutional doctrine\u201d that Wong condemns for blocking \u201cracially targeted policies.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>A Treasury staffed with race-obsessed anti-capitalists is just the latest wokeification of the government: The Defense Department\u2019s education branch has a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion chief with a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/04\/pentagon-probing-diversity-official-kelisa-wings-tweets\/\">record of openly anti-white comments<\/a>; the head of the Joint Chiefs <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/23\/gen-mark-milley-defends-teaching-critical-race-theory-at-west-point\/\">is happy to see Critical Race Theory<\/a> in the West Point curriculum. (By the way, the Pentagon is also busy <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/army-mandates-pronoun-training-for-all-levels-of-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">training officers in gender-dysphoria sensitivity<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Heck, Vice President Kamala <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/01\/vp-harris-slammed-for-saying-hurricane-ian-aid-will-be-based-on-equity\/\">Harris vowed<\/a> this month that racial \u201cequity\u201d will determine who gets relief after Hurricane Ian.<\/p>\n<p>The people running Washington aren\u2019t just paying lip service to a bunch of utterly racist and wokeist claptrap: They\u2019re making it their mission to <em>govern <\/em>that way, and to pack the federal workforce with extremist ideologues. They\u2019re institutionalizing rank insanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just how many third-rate crackpots is Team Biden installing as political officers at the top of federal agencies?
