Bush and free markets

Yesterday President Bush made this telling admission (but ignore the ridiculous double-talk):

Well, I have obviously made a decision to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse. I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system. I think when people review what’s taken place in the last six months, uh, and put it all in one, in one, (sigh), you know, in one package, they’re realize how significantly we have moved.

Bottom line: Laissez Faire doesn't work as a governing policy. Never has, never will.

The money changers are not fit to run this or any other country, and government oversight is what a free and informed people expect.

America did not learn the lesson of the 1920s ... let's hope she has this time around and for all time.

Thomas Jefferson warned us about banks 200 years ago. Of course, you have to read more than the sports pages to find that out.
