10 Signs of a Recession

A-Lame-Dan - First I'm sure we all appreciate your participation in the changing of the word fundementalism into a bad word. Your like one of the pigs in the book animal farm. Please read it if you haven't already.

Second most of the economic problems we face now and really ever since the great depression involve socialized or fascist industries. Freddiemac and Fannie are basically business in bed with government. Defense, Banking, energy, are highly regulated and affected by government policies. Lobbiest and big business interest controlling government is a direct result of the amount of money the government spends as a ratio to GDP. Blaming the free market for the failures of socialism and fascism is like blaming the rape victom for the rapers actions.

What we need to do is create as much as possible a wall of seperation between business and government. Its not the free market that is causing any of these problems. Rather is it failure of regulated markets, socialism, and fascism. The mortgage industry got so bad because of Fed induced low interest rates in combination with the idea that the government is going to bail everyone out.

Our country has one industry after another starting to become dominated by big businesses. Our government is the largest monopoly of all and it is created more monopolies and ogopolies through its policies.

Wildhawk no offense but OBAMA has said less about his platform and his ideas than any politician I've ever listened to. He speaks in platitudes and veils is ideas (if he really has any) in messages of hope. He's like the Joel Osteen turned into a politician.
