It didn't take long, but the GOP, flailing its arms at the kiddie end of the political pool, is greasing their anger on the bail out and the plan President-O is trying to put into play to somehow, someway make sure that at the end of the spring, the only people with jobs WON"T JUST be the politicians. A 9000 attendee conservative "think" conference, podiumed by Ann 'My parents were pure breed Afghans" Coulter and Newt 'Splendid Contract for America' Gingrich took place in the one place they could reach out to everyday folk with everyday problems...Washington.
Their tom toms beat anew to the same beat: Socialism. Nationalism. Big Government is Bad. And how the unemployed American worker will get us back on our feet, especially after their unemployment runs out. Now, we know damned well that Capitalism, pure unfettered market horseshit and free, unregulated trade has been damn good for this country so far - stupendo!- and that nationalizing the banks, who are on their knees begging for More soup, Sir, Please, more soup! so they can get their balance sheets back level by July, is just bad bad bad. Newt said that we're dangerously close European style economy. Horrors! Can you imagine that! Or better yet, a Canadian style economy! Double horrors. Except that the Canadian banks are just fine thank you, and if it weren't for our American style economy, the European economy would be just fine, the wine would flow, the women thin and beautiful, and the croissants buttery. Now, they don't really agree why it's bad to the take over of shit hole banks like Citibank, but here's why it's good: Cause if they go don't countless retirement funds and other huge institutional funds will be in the trash. Citibank is worth 10 billion dollars. That's as much as beer maker Heinekin. And I agree that Big Government in the hands of Ann Coulter would be bad, but so would all govenment. I was really hoping these guys would just go away for at least 2 whole years. But you see, instead of offering constructive energies, they are using this time to rebuld and reidentify their tired corrupt homophobic party. And they will screw up as much as they can before they let Obama put of droplet of change into the system, check on the behavior that results, tweak some more, and see if he can reduce the severity of the turmoil of this recessapression.
