Beyond Farce

Manish from Sepia Mutiny:

India’s coalition government, the United Progressive Alliance, has pushed a quasi-socialist employment guarantee through Parliament.

Uh oh.

Like most government handouts, the entitlement was expanded from its original means-tested form to include all rural households, even the relatively prosperous.

I'm shocked. Read the comments as well. I liked this one from Nehru_is_alive:

I think it was Marx who said everything repeats in history , first as a tragedy and then as a farce. Did we enter the farce stage ?

The ghost of Nehru is likely having a laughing fit.
