A bright side to the socialist bailout
The Death of Republican Philosophy
Last week was historic. It is a week that financial and economic people will study for generations. It also marked the end of certain elements of the Republican Party’s ideology.
Whenever a Republican talking head says they are for any of the above mentioned things they should be questioned to explain how that statement (I’m for free markets) jibes with banning short selling of an entire sector of the market. Whenever a Republican says he is for smaller government, have him explain the nearly doubling of discretionary spending when the Republicans controlled all branches of government.
Simply put, this week demonstrated how hollow many of the Republican values are. They sound great on paper, but aren’t put into practice when that result might cause financial harm to another Republican. </em>
