The new ‘USSA’

I support neither McCain nor Obama because I find their proposals equally subserviant to their corporate handlers.

Both have voted for a financial bailout plan, which puts us all on the hook for almost a trillion dollars, which we have to borrow to save unworthy corporations that will have put them in power. The Bush administration has turned to socialism as well to save these same “friends” from their lack of good management at the people’s expense instead of standing up for free and fair markets.

A free market should have been allowed to weed out poorly managed outfits and substitute stronger, smarter corporations. But no! President Bush owes too much and must save these corporate dictators at our expense. Both Democrat and Republican congressmen have thrown in the towel on free and fair markets too, and have destroyed confidence in free markets around the world for which we have been fighting (allegedly).

When these $700 billion are eaten-up, we shall be forced to go into debt for another couple trillion, and so on, until our dollars lose whatever value some still believe they hold. No money is spent faster and more unwisely than that which has not been earned. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America!

Does this two-party system serve the people?
