- Tue., 03/02/10 - 08:07 AMThose who want to blame the current economic situation on the previous incompetent president or completely incompetent current president are missing the point. The problem is that WE - the american people -the ones demanding "Something for Nothing" - are the cause of all these problems. By wanting the government to give us things that we don't want to pay for, by screaming bloody murder when congress (infrequently) tries to cut programs that we can't pay for. By taking to the streets when they try to reform broken social programs, like social security, medicare, etc. We are dragging this country down into the abyss of history. "No democracy lasts longer than it takes for the populace to realize they can vote themselves funds from the public treasury." When the great majority of americans were christian or otherwise had an ethical base, we could resist this impulse. Now that we are mostly secular, it's "grab what you can get" and "everyman for himself." The clock is winding down.

Or, put another way, that's about $10,000 for every many woman and child in America. And that doesn't really include all the deficits in Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security - all of which are insolvent. The REAL lesson of the great depression (the one they don't teach you in public schools) is that massive government interference in the economy (ONLY done by Hoover and FDR) makes a depression much longer and much more severe. Bunning is trying to keep the congress from continuing its massive war on the american people by lining its pockets and the pockets of their wall-street contributors (P.S. They contribute equally to Republicans and Democrats). For that he is to be applauded.
