to be fooled


Bailout? Rescue plan? Please.
How long will America take to realize the people who got us into this mess are not the ones to be trusted with getting us out.

I read a great quote today, "The only thing we learn from history, I am afraid, is that we do not learn from history." Congressman Ron Paul.

Can the folks in Washington open their dusty history books and read a paragraph about the great depression? It was only last century, I'm pretty sure McCain was alive through it. Propping up mortgages and wall street behemoths that are failing because of federal intervention with MORE federal intervention (aka magically minted money with rapidly diminishing value) will only leave them, and the rest of us unwittingly tied to their kamikaze attempt to make EVERYONE happy, further to fall before we hit bottom.

Blaming the American people would be like blaming a spoiled child when they cry for more, faster, better. Isn't it the fault of the parents for giving in in the first place? Even still, giving the child what they scream for doesn't fix the problem. They have to eventually realize the corner they have backed themselves into; there will be an embarrassing meltdown before any progress is made. The sooner the meltdown occurs the quicker the rehabilitation can begin.

America should protest together. Refuse to pay taxes. Refuse the government the right to steal from you in order to dig themselves deeper into debt, wars and lies. Either that or I suggest everyone buy some Euros and grow a garden.
