SK: What the leftists in DC want us to ignore in every one of their programs, is the “socialization” inherent to the various “solutions”, be it GM’s takeover, the health care “fix”, the stimulus package, etc.
If Bush were actively seeking the massive expansion of executive and legislative powers that Obama and the Dems are, the MSM would be screaming bloody murder. As it is, we sit here passively and are lied to and, sadly, we believe.
Obama’s answer to everything seems to be: More Government.
Came across this great quote, which really sums things up for me:
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
