The government is swallowing us

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson

Here's a link to a list of lists of predictions from various well-respected analysts and economists concerning the economy in 2010.

Also, for anyone not paying attention, here's the most recent list of things the federal government is trying to seize from US citizens:

journalism schools

newspapers

medical schools

subway systems

light rail systems

the college loan industry

internet service

radio stations

television stations

cell phone service

the US mortgage industry

The ones in red are already done.

The picture is a nice illustration of socialism, cutting

through the BS.

Just to recap. Capitalism, profits, corporations and all mean free market. People who want government to take over the economy are advocating an UN-FREE market. Why is it unfree? Because it's controlled by bureaucrats like the ones who work at the DMV or Post Office. You take away people's rights to choose freely what to buy and sell and at what price, and put it under the control of far away bureaucrats. What kind of idiot would design a system like that?

Government fixing things is absurd

I don't normally post things like this, but this is one of the points I have written about before. Government take-overs of any part of the economy never works well. It's as predictable as gravity. It never did work. It is a transfer of power and money from the people to the ruling government class. A few get to dip into the new slush fund. Everyone else suffers.

The following is a letter.

"To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,

It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:

The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??

Paul S. Laskodi

Healthcare from the same people who run the DMV, FEMA, and the post office???
