Slaves to the Free Market

Why are tax-payers now forced to hand out welfare checks to huge financial corporations like AIG, Bank of America and Citi Group -- corporations that made record profits over the last 8 years?

Because they're too big to fail.

During the Bush administration's "Free Market" era -- the market was freed from rules, regulations and restrictions. Certain banking institutions were allowed to become so big, they're now intertwined with just about every other major business in America -- and around the world.

If allowed to go under, these few giant corporations would likely take the whole nation down with them in a global financial meltdown.

Thanks, George!

So along with writing out welfare checks to these exceedingly large companies, we should write some new regulatory laws.

First and foremost, we must limit the size and scope of all financial institutions. If they're too big to fail, then they're too big to succeed.

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN!

Repeatedly spreading rumors, misinformation and unsubstantiated gossip (Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C), to topple the Democratic party, sounds like a great plan for the Republicans, but how does that help America? Get over it already. You lost an election. Your ideas have been overwhelmingly repudiated by a majority of the American people, and now Nancy Reagan. Science will once again rule the day. Rush and Hannity can pray all they want for or against America. Heck melt all your precious metals into a golden idol. There is a new day dawning in the USA and it's time for you to shut up until you win an election!! NEXT!!!!!!!
