Daddy is right. NO company should be bailed out. And especially not if the bailout is an excuse for nationalizing major chunks of major industries or for allowing unelected White House âczarsâ to lord it over businesses. (A more accurate word than âczarâ would be âcommissarâ.) Too big to fail? If they are failing, they shouldnât be allowed to remain big.
Federal government czars were invented by the Raygun administration. And, as for socializing, I guess Eisenhower did that when he sold out the railroads to the Teamsters and built the Interstate system. And I guess the greatest generation wasnât funded by the GI Bill that somehow dried up and disappeared when it came to Viet Nam vets.
Oh, and Halliburton didnât nationalize itself to benefit Cheneyâs bank account and electrocute soldiers while providing tainted water. Itâs all in your point of view and bogus political preferences.
Boozoo: âBogus political preferencesâ? I suppose that means mine are âbogusâ but yours are not. I suppose that a belief in limited government dedicated to the protection of rights is bogus. I suppose freedom must be bogus. So what is not bogus? Socialism? Centrally directed economies? Tell me, Boozoo, whatâs NOT bogus âin your point of viewâ?
As for the accumulated errors of the past, they are still errors and canât be used to justify the present or future.
right on pschearer and Daddy W. Let the strongest survive. Govât bailouts just promote more greed among the already greedy. Liberalism, socialism.. just words that mean the same thing.
Piper, I hate to inform you that Warbucks was born in England and therefore inelligible for the office of President. Besides, he wouldnât take the pay cut.
Jmw raises an interesting point. Because our current President B. Hussein Obama II has not produced his actual certificate of live birth and refuses to allow it to be made public and there is reason to believe through testimony of his paternal grandmother that he was actually born in Kenya to the 18 year old Ann Dunham who was not old enough to pass her citizenship onto her son; we may in point of fact have a person serving as POTUS who is NOT a natural born citizen. With that precedent for president Warbucks may now be eligible.
In Marxism, the revolution is the thing. It doesnât really matter what system you are tearing down, or what new system you erect in its place. As long as you are destroying and creating anew. A sincere marxist regards government like a flaky copier. When it develops a glitch, you give it a good hard kick to get it working again. Or in Hegelian terms, progress occurs by death and rebirth.
In real life, marxists arenât sincere, but just want to be the ones to seize power as the old order is brought down.
Every president who has called a private corporation âtoo big to failâ and bailed them out, is a socialist to some degree. That includes Bush, Obama, and many of their predecessors. Obama distinguishes himself by the rapidity and magnitude of taxpayer money spent bailing out and taking over industries. This makes it difficult to decide whether he is a socialist, on a rapid and risky program to nationalize all industry, or a marxist determined to destroy the country with hyper inflation.
Pretty good observations, Stuart. Iâve always put it that the political spectrum is curved -even circular, on a horizontal plane, with the right & left opposing each other at the fron of the curve, but uniting at the back of the curve where both become radical, spurning any comporomise with infidels, but with the common purpose of tearing down existing governmental & social structures, but for different reasons. They both hope to seize power as the old order is brought down. Daddy Warbuck has always been a Big Monied Republican, but heâd grab âbail outâ money (which are really only loans) as quickly as anyone. Fortunately, in the comics. Heâs rich enough he doesnât need it.

The âDaddyâ Warbucks / Sarah Palin ticket? What an election that would be!
Somebody should tell Warbucks thought, that they still DO make typewriters.

Iâm sure Big D can pay off enough politicians to change the Constitution to allow him to run. There was talks of changing it for Schwarzenegger.
