... except for when we don't.
I am surprised that there are people who claim to support free markets. Yet when the swing comes and the chickens come to roost on bad debt, what do they do? They blame the government and then ask for a bailout.
The market is adjusting to something, I wonder why the price of oil dropped and t-bill sales went up? So maybe let the markets slide a while, let 'market forces' and the 'private sector' do what they are supposed to? After that then come in with the credit bailout. Here is the deal, people loaned money, people borrowed money, and now the chickens have come back. Some people who borrowed money, who shouldn't have are going to loose their homes. Some people who bought high yield mortgage backed securities are going to loose money. Some of us are going to loose our jobs. That is the cycle, what happened to the 'strong fundamentals'? Why is it that they ask for free markets and then complain about them?
And then the false support of democracy, now I understand the partisan nature of politics that is fine. But certain people, who support 'liberty' and democracy, seem to have a problem when it doesn't elect the people they want. Like certain Latin American leaders, they are dictators, while others elected under the same circumstances are 'true supporters of democracy'. When Hammas (who I don't support) is elected then we embargo them, to force 'democracy' on the people.
And when 12 Pubs who were marginal vote against the bailout, they blame Pelosi (not my representative and sort of oooky). Why? Because they can't face democracy. It is sausage making, sometimes the sausage falls on the floor and you have to start over. But why now does ‘bipartisan’ matter so much to a lock step President?
It is supposed to be a deliberative process, with dissenting voices, arguments and consensus. If it doesn't pass the House then you start over, duh.
It is Bill Clinton's fault!
