Founding Fathers or Funding Fathers? Why the Bailout is NO Emergency.
I've been dreaming of the day when Democrats would scream 'the sky is falling' and no one would listen. Or at the very least, no one would believe them. No, let's make that any politician, including Republicans and even my own Libertarians. And here we have it, where each day Nancy Pelosi screams more loudly and more desperately about what an emergency we have on our hands. Make no mistake. DC, we have a problem. But it's not an emergency. The emergency passed long ago, say during the Clinton and Bush administrations, when the watchdogs allowed Barney Frank and Barak Hussein Obama to give and take financial favors, and ignore fundamental economic principles that lead us to where we are. The GOP, so desperate to be 'kind and gentle' mildly and meekly made a few demurring statements about the problems, but put up nary a fight, much less a protest. And, despite my differences with Congressman Ron Paul about Foreign Policy, here is is, right about the big picture again. And what did the wise old Paul tell us all along, again and again? He stated the obvious: We can't fight a war or defend ourself if we're broke. And we're broke, people. B-R-O-K-E Our national debt exceeds the entire net worth of every American, COMBINED, I'm told. That's the definition of being broke. When you owe more money than you're worth. And we are REALLY broke, because we are going further and faster in the hole than ever before. Fortunately, it seems that America is waking up. America is against the so-called 'bailout'. Obama and the Democrats realize that, and that's their real hurry, where their emergency lies. It's their emergency, not ours. There is a second major reason for the hurry.
