I keep reading how the big bad Government is taking over private enterprise and the "bogey man" in the White House is trying to determine what car you drive etc. This comes from the whacked out Conservative right (which normally I would dismiss but since it is now firmly in control of the Republican party you have to pay attention) and, of course, their news network devoted to them, the "Faux News Network".
This leads me to think about all the big CEO's who managed these companies into the ground and how the last 8 years have been a Republican rule. I then think how on earth could we be in such a mess if Laissez faire worked given we have had it for a good 8 years and, since Reagan, we have had it pretty consistently since 1980. How could the economy have failed so badly given this trend?
Further, I think, if these Conservative nutbags really do not believe in Government help and intervention, why didn't they just declare bankruptcy like good conservative little soldiers? No one told the car makers they had to take Government money. They could have just marched into bankruptcy court on their own.
The banks are now claiming the Government forced them to take the money or they would be fired. OK, if this truly was a principle they lived up to, why not take the firing? Why not resign in protest? Is this principle of not doing business with the Government so flimsy that they would rather do that then just lose a simple job? They all have more money than they need so it cannot be for fear of not being able to put food on the table right?
As I have maintained in this blog for a long time, follow the ACTIONS not the words. While the conservative right wing wackos spew anti Government hatred to the masses to keep their base of whacked out nut bags in check, they all show up at the "Government window" for their hand out. They take it all? Why? Because, back at the end of the regime of Bush they knew the Country would have gone into a depression if they did not. And how would that look for the Conservatives if Bush left the Country even more ravaged than it already was after 8 years of the lunatic?
All the Conservatives lined up and keep lining up at the Government trough.
