I don't understand how you think, it's very simple to understand how I think... The Federal government cradling the market, not allowing a recession right now will cause a bigger problem later. It is that simple. If you believe in capitalism, then you must allow the companies who screwed up take a fall. If you keep protecting them from failing then you are not for capitalism. That's the very essence of capitalism. The bad companies fall, the good companies who are still remaining will take over. Obviously if they can withstand the economy, then I would trust them even more with my money. Why would I trust a BofA or AIG or any company that would have been bankrupt without the government AID?
You talk like the Federal government is our savior, when in fact it's obvious that they are going to destroy the dollar by printing more money, they're BORROWING money from other countries and with our strategy of "stimulation" we won't be able to pay it back. We're in huge debt, and to think we can borrow more money, make more debt and consume our way out of it just doesn't add up.

Now if the money we borrowed was to INVEST or to create capital, then I'd understand, but the fact that they're tryin to get people to SPEND to fix us doesn't make any sense whatsoever. We have already done too much borrowing and too much spending. Why would borrowing more and SPENDING more fix it? What I see is the Federal government "bailing" out bad companies and in part taking ownership or own parts of the company and creating a foothold in every big company. Might be a good idea? No.. a RECESSION is a good thing. It is the capitalistic way of getting rid of all the bad companies, so the better and more trustworthy companies (who have bankrupt makes them trustworthy enough) we can trust with our money.

The fed is stepping in the way of natural consumption that is the basis of capitalism. We should be embracing a recession, that's when people start to save and build capital instead of fearing it and just spending ourselves into more debt.

The idea of all these government taps moving to capture information on the internet is because many peoples are beginning to 2nd guess what the government is doing instead of just being sheep and herded around by them.

Obama was right. Wall street was drunk... but so was main street. IT's like giving candy to a baby, the baby will always take the bait. But who is giving the candy, the parent. And who got wall street and main street drunk? The Federal Reserve with low interest rates and allowing so many people to borrow (when in fact they should have allowed only the good companies to borrow with a higher interest rate that leads to a lot more safe risks)

On a side note. Obama was on a team around 10 years ago with lawyers that sued Fannie and Freddie, and that other mortgage loan company because not enough minorities "meaning blacks at the moment" did not own houses and it's racism. They won, in essense, fannie and freddie took their documents of subprime mortgages, did some rework with it, and in the end came out with about 2/3rds of subprime mortgages to be triple AAA approved for houses. So woopidy do, you get more mortgages lent out and being sold to people who couldn't afford them from the get go because of the lawsuit. Then of course the market flips and now subprime is another addition to why there is a crisis with the housing market. As we all know, Fannie and Freddie get bailed out afterwards. =) All these things that are going on aren't independent, they're all linked to something and we as the American people who are struggling need our answers. The government is doing everything possible with new laws to go around amendments to restrict us from fighting back.
