I Don't Get It

Let me see if I have this straight: for the past several months, politicians have been railing against corporations and banks for spending millions of dollars that these institutions don't seem to have, but these same politicians don't seem to be bothered when they themselves are spending billions of dollars that our country does not have. These clowns are steering our country over a cliff. President Obama clearly sees the federal government as the only entity with the ability and the integrity to spend our money, decide what and where children should learn, and dictate how and where we get our health care. He is, in a not so subtle manner, leading us down a path where we depend exclusively on the government for our needs. I am not trying to be an alarmist here. How else can you seriously access what has been going on over the past month? And it is not just Obama, although he shares the most blame. It's all of them . . Democrats, even the Republicans have little ground to hide. George Bush should have set the precedent for the opposition: no bailouts . . period. Let the market work itself out. Provide incentives through tax breaks and less regulation (or at least sensible regulation). Conservatives have an opportunity to stand in stark contrast to all of this nonsense, as long as they don't cave in. The question is whether it will be too little too late.
