is how we got in this mess in the first place. A bunch of lawyers trying to play economists and businessmen. These idiots need to be removed from office. Forcibly if needed before they cripple this nation for decades.
Obama is weak and I see a serious international conflict in our near future.

Next treat: steaming piles of crap everywhere.

And I love the NRO headline: Anger Management. Something we’ll all be looking for soon.

While both the Democrats and Putin crave the power, at least Putin acknowledges the trade-off between centralized control power grabs and economic outcomes.

that, if the government continues to insert itself into free enterprise, the whole system ultimately will come crashing down. It is only a matter of time. I have accepted that eventuality and am making my own plans.

I compare the government dictating the (bailout receiving) executive salaries to what happens when one borrows money from his mother-in-law: get ready to receive all kinds of unwelcome advise.

As for the government being able to inject itself into businesses that do not receive handouts, I believe that will be harder for them to achieve-especially now that the socialist cat is out of the bag.

However, I do see the potential for a huge consumer black market when/if it becomes obvious that this cumbersome, centralized government begins devouring independent businesses.
