More to the Right.....More to the Right.....Ooops!

More to the Right….More to the Right…..Ooops!

Wow.

All this time I thought the Republicans were the party of the right wing. I guess if you go right long enough, you end up left.

Weird……..

It seems that my Republican “free market” friends are really socialists in free-market clothing. They’ve accomplished in one month more socialism than the Democrats have accomplished in my lifetime! And to think I fell for the free-market schtick……

What have they done, you ask? It’s easy. They have succeeded in socializing and nationalizing the mortgage insurance industry! Uncle Sam owns Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and now AIG. America now runs the mortgage insurance industry in our country. And to think that we got so upset when Castro nationalized American businesses after he took over. My guess is that we have succeeded in nationalizing more businesses in pure dollars than Castro ever did. AIG is $85 billion. The Freddie and Fannie nationalization is going to cost us between $25 billion and $100 billion. Billion. Castro nationalized chump change compared to the Fed.

But my question is why the free-market rouse? Why trick us into thinking market forces are the panacea to the world’s economic woes? Did they know all along that they would lull us to sleep and every morning we’ll wake up to a new nationalized major business? Do they plan on us never discovering that this was their diabolical plan all along? And do they think that they can continue to spout free-market mantras and have us continue to suspend our disbelief? I think not.

But hey, I’ve been saying we should threaten to nationalize the oil and gas industry for some time now. Leave it to our Government to nationalize businesses that are tanking. At least if they nationalized the oil and gas companies, they’d make a profit. So….I say let’s nationalize Mobil and the rest of the guys while it still worth it. Don’t wait for them to teeter on the edge of bankruptcy before we guarantee them and bail them out for the good of national security.

Nationalizingly Yours,
