Just about every time the Fed gets involved in some problem or other in our society, they EFF it up... I for one hold to the Conservative principle of LESS government, ACCOUNTABLE government, and a decentralization of MUCH of the Federal powers back down to the States... I am, as McCain claims to be, a Federalist, and I often say, "the South was right!" when it comes to a deep distrust and disdain for what we see coming out of Washington. These "bail-outs", as you have noted, are doing nothing more than CHEATING Americans by propping up business sectors that should be ALLOWED TO FAIL... This is why I also often say that the now-Democrat controlled government has us on a course for "the Matrix Society" where businesses and citizens are encouraged to forgo any sense of independence and "jack in" to the government feed trough... You can almost hear Nanny Sam saying, "there now, it'll be okay... Just close your eyes and relax as the Machines drain your money, and your liberties, away from you..."<BR/><BR/>I am troubled by the idea that as our nation becomes catatonic in this new Socialist regime, there will be very few of us left who say to the government, as Dave Ramsey says, "Just leave me ALONE!"<BR/><BR/>And it would not surprise me in the least to begin seeing an Obama administration launch some kind of "citizen watchdog crew" that makes it a crime to dissent from his "vision" for America... We may even have citizens ratting out other citizens who speak out against the System...<BR/><BR/>We need you, Neo...Greg Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675476954213465595noreply@blogger.com
