Economic Freedom

"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom."

-Woodrow Wilson
after regretfully creating the Federal Reserve

Thanks again Congress, for taking away our freedoms.

Bailout or Handout

As I have been reading and hearing on the news about this "Wall Street Bailout Plan", I see that the "fix is in" at first the Congress and all of the political pundits like Hannity, and Beck, were jumping down the throat of this plan. Then, we see Bush begin to speak on the plan, then all of the sudden, we hear, "Hey wait.... Maybe this plan isn't such a bad idea for America." Yeah right. I guess we did fall off of the turnip truck, because we fell for it hook, line and sinker. I just don't understand how they could do it with a straight face. Now that is gangster my friend.
