If you would compare our current economic crisis to that of a patient in the hospital, I would characterize it as being on life support, while at the same time the doctor is blood-letting the patient. I think the biggest mistake this government made was bailing out anyone. Period. We need to let the market work; however, the administration and Congress in their infinite ‘wisdom’ decided to allow our Treasury Secretary to prick the American people’s pockets and let all the money run out. Welcome to the Weimar, everybody!
We are bailing out companies left and right. And what is even scarier is that the government is now taking stakes in all of these companies, banks, etc. This is called nationalism, and we are getting dangerously close to fascism. Think about it. We have all of these companies receiving federal money in exchange for stakes in them. And we will soon have a President in office that sees no problem in socialistic view points and centralizing government control over industries (the Big 3 Automakers). Not to mention the very, very liberal Congress that also has no problem having power over industry. We are marching towards fascism.
I think the America as we once knew it is gone. We are on a very slippery slope. If enough people don’t wake up, I fear we will slip off into something America has never seen on its shores. But it leaves me with the question of how did we get here? Was this intentional? (Think the SPP but on a bigger scale.) Common sense would dictate that you don’t pile on more debt to get yourself out of debt. It just doesn’t make sense. I understand the whole practice of ‘spending money to make money’; however, this isn’t money we have. We have printed close to $2 trillion in recent months. And now we don’t even know the total count because they’ve stopped providing information. Our government is not being honest with us. I know, I know that’s not a real big shocker. The biggest shocker is that these people forget that they work for US.
Our credit standing in the world is dwindling. We have calls from PM Brown in the UK and France’s Sarkozy for a ‘one world society.’ And our 44th President has already called himself ‘a citizen of the world.’ Not to mention the fact that he worked on school foundations that promoted the UN and Marxism. One central government? One world government? All of the pieces seem to be snapping together coherently. Will America lose its sovereignty completely? We must stay vigilant…
