Economic Imbeciles

If I hear too much more from Obie and the Democrats about how "capitalism" is the cause of the credit debacle, I'm going to scream.

A good share of the leaders and profiteers of those failed institutions Fannie and Freddie were recycled appointees from the Clinton administration—and other fat Democrats.

It was the incompetent interference of government by these greedy Liberal idiots that created these two unnatural Frankenstein monsters. They stitched up parts of the corpses of capitalism and socialism: They privatized profits and socialized risks.

When they made money—by profiting off loans that were improper and highly risky, but were mandated by Left Wing Bleeding Heart "Don't Deny the Penniless & Indolent a Huge Mortgage" programs—and Democrat cronies made fortunes.

But, when they lost money, the tax-paying working Americans get to take the losses.

Nice set-up, eh? Boy, it sure pays to be a Democrat Party hack.

And now the Democrats would have you believe that it was Conservative free-market policies that are responsible!

On the planet I come from, a Free Market means a one without government manipulation.

And now, the very thugs that gutted the mortgage industry for their own fun and profit are madly pointing fingers at the people whose policies would have prevented this fiasco, but whom they ignored and overrode on their glory road to personal riches.

And now they insist they are the only ones who can "fix" it.

Yes, let's et the Democrats fix the problem the Democrats created, by repeating and increasing the mistakes and bad policies that caused the catastrophe in the first place.

They have one song and they're already singing it: More Government Regulations, Mandates, Oversight and Interference!

If we let them, they will ruin us all.

Too bad you can't just shoot the lying bastards.
