I agree! I am worried about the Administration's motives in refusing to allow banks to return TARP money they don't need. At least one significant bank has been threatened with political retaliation if they try to return the money. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123879833094588163.html I am also worried about the lack of any legal basis for the President to fire the head of GM. Ben Stein was on TV this morning talking about the Administration's economic policies. He said he thought the Administration was doing basically the right things with monetary policy, but he was very concerned about the President's actions having no basis in law. Fortunately, people are starting to protest. Tea party protests are springing up around the country, organized by people who are sick of creeping government power over their lives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:294039 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
