Hey, a hefty chunk of TARP money went overseas to the large financial institutions' masters in Europe so why not?  A large chunk of the IMF bailout of Greece was US taxpayer funded, so why not?  We're bailing out the world JW, one Federal Reserve printing press session at a time.  Austerity will look like a picnic compared to whats in our future.

JR,


This  election in November is cruical. I know we say this every election cycle but the fact of the matter is what is remaining of the free enterprise system in this nation is on life support. I am not sold on the notions that this will be a wave election and the GOPers are going to take control of the house. It may happen but I am not convinced it will happen. Even if the GOPers still take control of the House you have Rinos like Mike Castle that will support the Socialist agenda of the White House. The economic future does not look bright.

Jeremy Roenick:
I only pray that there is a revival of sorts in the Republican Party.  Their mishandling of power when they had it is the reason why we're in this mess to begin with.  The people got fed up with the RNC's agenda and they voted in "change".  Now that they've had a taste of change, they're running back in hordes to the RNC.  If the RNC doesn't become principled, then we're simply handing the reigns of government back to the party of incompetence.  My reason for pessimism in the RNC rests primarily with the fact that when you have politicians like Sarah Palin, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and David Petraeus as the leading candidates for President, I hold little hope for reformation in the RNC.  When the likes of Ron Paul and his son Rand are marginalized and run over by the MSM and the RNC, I can see that the true agenda of the Republican Party is not to take those principled stands that I outlined above.

As far as the economy goes, there are no quick and easy fixes.  We're undergoing a wealth and economic transformation in this country right now (and in the world for that matter) and it will take years to play out.  No matter which party is in power its going to take time to resolve the nation's debt problems (sovereign, personal and institutional) on all fronts.  So no matter how many promises the RNC makes, they need to take a stand on trimming government, responsible spending, pulling our troops out of wasteful police actions and focus all our energy on the domestic front.  It's time to repair America and let the world look after itself for a while.
