15 More Thoughts on the Current Crisis

"(My opinion is that our nation is great enough that we whould risk another Great Depression rather than give up our liberties to the Government.)"

Exactly. The citizenship was entirely against the bailout, willing to risk a depression to stop the rampant corruption in government.

The majority which are responsibe citizens both Republican and Democratic (We the People) are ready and willing to help one another through it, but the government passing the bill regardless protects those in office this election to remain there.

We do not need a new government system. The system works, the public will identify the culprits in the House of Representatives and vote them out. This has happened 3 times historically after these kinds of financial crisis and it takes roughly four years. Reagan was a good leader as he was in touch with the public, appearing on TV very often and had teams to conduct never ending economic surveys and studies. How do you run your business? With consistent market research. You cannot replace morals of caring for people and doing a professional job with a lack of morals. The Judeo-Christian value system teaches such as our framework for "Liberty" and "Equality" but our focus was on the second principle of Equality. Liberty is about reaping the benefit of one's good decisions and accountability for bad decisions.

In-between the next inevitable voter revolution which many responsible business leaders are encouraging but as mentioned takes time, enjoy the socialism to fix socialism! I am cutting down my work schedule after working 16 hours a day since July of 2007 preparing my businesses for this time. In 2012 I will run for Congress. Fiscal minded fundamentalists like yourself Mr. Merkle should consider it as well. No reason to keep talking about it, unless you wish to do something about it.
