It's Too Early To Think Of A Title

I can't be the only one who sees a major problem with this. Does anyone else see similarities with the things this administration is doing and the things a certain South American country is doing? Make these people look like the bad guy and then little by little take more control over them. Banks, car companies and now insurance companies. They don't want to, mind you, but they need to protect us from these evil profiteers.

I don’t and I haven’t heard of anyone else who does. It may be just you.

I guess it’s only the evil "big government" we need protection from – right, Chris?

Incidentally, it was the Bush Administration (not the Obama Administration) that bailed out the banks. While I agree we shouldn’t demonize the private sector for trying to make a profit I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the government to identify and mitigate unfair or unethical practices.

I doubt I'm the only person to have problem. But whatever.

Bush and the AIG bailout was just another knife in the back to those of us who supported him. It was also the last straw for many of us who were already fed up with the government. So, yes, I know it was Bush. And I've said so in the past.
