Well in less then two weeks, President Obama, the Democratic controlled house of representatives and senate, and weak republican members will unfortunately vote in the biggest tax and spending bill ever passed in the United States.

This is the first step to the United States becoming a socialist country.

I have been thinking about how my kids have to learn lessons on their own. I tell them not to do something but they do it anyway and they eventually find out that it was the wrong thing to do. But even with my insistence on not doing it and with showing them examples of why this is wrong, they still do it.

As a nation we are very young, but we have plenty of examples of how and why a socialist approach in running countries don’t work.

But for some reason, we go against sound principles which is what a FREE market economy is based on and then we go back to a failed philosophy that has never worked since the beginning of time.

This is why we became a nation in the first place. “Taxation without representation.”

The difference now is that we were fighting an enemy that was across the ocean, now we have to face an enemy that is in our own government.

They, Barack Obama’s govenment, is also calling for the “fairness doctrine” which is basically a welfare program for failed radio and TV formats.

The most successful radio programs are conservative talk radio. The people who host these shows are paid by advertisers who pay for commercials on their shows because they have huge audiences.

Why can’t a liberal talk show host have a successful program?

Because what they talk about is not sound principles. It doesn’t resonate with anyone and they end up with no audience.

This is another example of going against sound principles.

I am disgusted with what I have seen so far and we must vote these people out of office the next opportunity we get.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

The more and more I look into this house of cards that Wall Street, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the US Government had built, it becomes more and more crystal clear that this is biggest screwing the American Taxpayer has ever taken.

This house of cards was built on top of the sand, not on top of the rocks. It was banks forced to loan money to people who were not capable of paying it back to advance the American Dream of owning a house.

Instead of a chicken in every pot, it was a house for every American, whether you could pay for it or not.

It was the advancement of socialist ideas that caused this fall. It was not smart business.

The headlines and sound bites will blame it on CEO with big pay with companies going belly up. Golden parachutes and the whole nine yards.

Don’t be fooled by all this, this is nothing but over regulation by the government, forced by Democratic policies.

There are many successful public companies and the pay the CEO gets is well earned.

But when you look at the companies involved…

Fannie Mae (Mortgage) (Bailout)

Freddie Mac (Mortgage) (Bailout)

Lehman Brothers (Investment Bank) (Bankrupt)

AIG (Insurance Company) (Bailout)

The government is looking for more money to prop several of these companies up. But why should we trust them to get it right this time?

It makes no sense what so ever.

What are thoughts about this situation?
