”Trump Tops Harris on Polymarket”

進次郎じゃだめだな。
コバホークは財務省でも理財局で本流ではなく、緊縮志向でもない。 むしろラピダスに2兆円引っ張ったり、産業政策のバラマキ志向
鷹でもいいか?

賭けではトランプ、全体の世論調査ではハリス、激戦区では、ハリスがトランプを追う・・・

わからんな、こりゃ。 

 日本のためになってくれれば、どっちでもいいんだけど・・・気になるわなあ。


  甲子園決勝の京都国際の歌詞「東の海」表記 NHKに韓国人教授が抗議「明らかな誤りだ」 NHKもとんだ誤訳をしたものだな。 
「独島」を「独りの島」と訳すようなもの

 韓国語で「東海」は「日本海」、「独島」は「竹島」とちゃんと訳さないとだめだな。
記事が長い。
まったく引き込まれない。
最後の段落だけみると
左派との貸し借りや党内圧力と関係なく、「自分はこの点でリベラルである、あるいは必ずしもそうではない」と、内政と外交の優先を示す価値観を示せれば、党内も無党派層もついてくるかもしれない。ハリスが政治家として絶対に譲れないものは何なのか。なぜ検事から政治家になったのか。どうして大統領になりたいのか。「哲学」と「物語」が見えないまま、「反トランプ」目的のためだけに神輿に担がれることは、彼女のためにもアメリカの民主主義のためにも、望ましくない。シカゴの民主党大会でその真価が問われる。
結局、ハリスがどういう政策をとっていくかは不明なわけだろう?

USは権力分立を徹底し、Spoils Systemを採用して政官の癒着を防ぎ

うーーん。 


ソース: Copilot との会話、 2024/8/22
スポイルズ・システム(猟官制)とは、選挙で勝利した政党が、自党の党員や支持者を公職に任命する政治慣習のことです。このシステムは、特に19世紀のアメリカで顕著に見られました。アメリカ第7代大統領のアンドリュー・ジャクソンが積極的に導入し、エリート階層による官職独占を打破しようとしました¹²。

しかし、適任者ではなく忠実な党員が公職に選ばれることが多くなり、腐敗や無能な官吏の増加といった弊害が生じました。そのため、1883年にペンドルトン法が制定され、公務員の任用に競争試験を導入するメリット・システムが広がりました¹²。


The **spoils system**, also known as the patronage system, is a political practice where a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its supporters, friends, and relatives as a reward for their support and as an incentive to continue supporting the party². This system contrasts with a merit system, where positions are awarded based on qualifications and performance rather than political connections.

The term "spoils system" originated from the phrase "to the victor belong the spoils," attributed to New York Senator William L. Marcy in 1828². The practice became particularly prominent during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, who used it extensively to appoint loyal supporters to government positions⁴.

While the spoils system helped ensure that government officials were aligned with the ruling party's policies, it also led to widespread corruption and inefficiency. This prompted civil service reforms, such as the Pendleton Act of 1883, which aimed to reduce the influence of patronage and establish a more merit-based system².


システムは公正か?
The question of whether the spoils system is just is quite complex and can be viewed from different perspectives:

### Arguments for the Spoils System:
1. **Democratic Accountability**: Supporters argue that it ensures government officials are aligned with the elected party's policies, making the government more responsive to the will of the people.
2. **Political Loyalty**: It rewards loyal supporters, which can be seen as fair in a political context where support and loyalty are crucial.

### Arguments Against the Spoils System:
1. **Corruption and Inefficiency**: Critics argue that it leads to corruption and inefficiency, as positions are filled based on loyalty rather than merit.
2. **Lack of Expertise**: It can result in unqualified individuals holding important positions, which can undermine the effectiveness of government operations.
3. **Unfairness**: It can be seen as unjust because it prioritizes political connections over qualifications and hard work.

### Historical Context:
The spoils system was prominent in the 19th century but led to significant issues, prompting reforms like the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883, which aimed to establish a merit-based system.

Ultimately, whether the spoils system is just depends on one's values and perspective on governance. What do you think? Do you lean towards one side of the argument?

SPOILSシステムと政官癒着

The spoils system tends to **increase politico-bureaucratic collusion**. Here's why:

### How It Increases Collusion:
1. **Political Appointments**: By filling government positions with loyal supporters, the spoils system creates a network of individuals who are more likely to cooperate with political leaders, even if it means bending rules or engaging in unethical practices.
2. **Mutual Benefits**: Politicians and bureaucrats under the spoils system often have a mutual interest in maintaining their positions and power, leading to collusion to protect their interests.
3. **Lack of Accountability**: With appointments based on loyalty rather than merit, there is often less accountability and oversight, making it easier for collusion to occur without detection.

### Historical Examples:
During the 19th century in the United States, the spoils system led to significant corruption and collusion between politicians and bureaucrats, prompting reforms like the Pendleton Act to curb these practices.

### Modern Context:
While the spoils system is less prevalent today, similar practices can still lead to collusion in various forms of government and organizations where appointments are based on connections rather than qualifications.

Do you think there are any benefits that might outweigh these risks?


Copilot くんによるとスポイルズ・システムはそれほど公正でもなく、政官癒着を助長するもののようであるが・・・ 


1. **トランプの人気の理由**: トランプは政治的な天才であり、人々を引き付ける才能を持っているが、その人気の背景には彼を利用したい人々がいるという意見がある。特に彼の政治的手法やリーダーシップが、民主党の支持を高めるきっかけとなっていると指摘されている。

2. **選挙の不正と暴力**: トランプは負けた選挙結果を覆そうとする動きを見せ、暴力を伴う行動を通じて重要な政治的ポジションに影響を及ぼそうとしている。これにより、民主主義のルールが破られているという批判がある。

3. **最高裁判所の影響**: トランプが任命した最高裁判事たちが彼の政策に有利な判決を出すことにより、アメリカの政治や社会に深刻な影響を及ぼしている。特に、中絶に関する法律の変更が社会的な問題を引き起こしている。

4. **反科学的傾向**: トランプの政権下では、科学的知見を無視した政策が実施され、コロナ禍における対応などで深刻な結果を招いたことが批判されている。これにより、科学的な判断よりも感情や政治的な動機が優先される傾向が問題視されている。

5. **アメリカの根本的問題**: トランプの支持は、アメリカにおける人種差別や移民問題といった歴史的・社会的な背景と関連している。アメリカはこれらの問題を解決するために努力してきたが、依然として根本的な課題が残っている。
なるほど。
