Market Bailout Leads to Market Crash…Again?

  This bailout is just one more example of the indivisible handjob stroking irresponsible CEOs and CFOs with billions so that they can run the American economy even further into the ground. So much for Keynesian economics. If the goal is to stimulate the economy, why not give the money directly to the American taxpayers? We could do twice as much good for the economy by giving half as much money directly to hardworking American taxpayers. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush administration.

  So now we’re going to go further into debt to bail out the stock market? That’s like giving yourself a loan. Or writing a check from one account to another.

  As Americans we need to change our attitude about taxes. Taxes are how things are paid for. Like it or not, we are either going to have to pay higher taxes or we’re going to have to sell off our national assets. And I wouldn’t want to see corporate logos on the Grand Canyon.

  Buckle up, boys and girls. We’re either going to have to bail ourselves out of this mess by paying more taxes to pay off our debts, or let the carpetbaggers come in and pick our corpses clean.

  I’m going to campaign for a constitutional amendment that requires a balanced budget. I think it’s the only way to stop the madness.
