Increased regulation of business and and financial institutions, and the potential of increased taxation to reduce deficits does not equate to greater freedom. Yet, there is blossoming freedom in our country. Where? Why, Congress, the Federal Reserve, the US Treasury, and the President. Power and money are flowing to these institutions in a torrent. In addition to the unleashing of our constitutional centers of power, we are on the verge of the appointment of a range of "czars." A czar of auto bailouts, a health czar...can a immigration czar and global warming czar be far behind? In fact, we may soon need a "czar of czars" to manage these super bureaucrats.
Well, at least we have accountability. Except for the $2 trillion that the Federal Reserve has recently lent. Bloomberg has filed a lawsuit on the Federal Reserve for refusing to reveal the use of the money. Oh, and there is the use of half of the original $700 billion bailout. What assets were purchased with that money? Accountability? There seems to be less than ever.
Our out of control tax and spend train has arrived at the station. The tide has gone out and the dearth of swimsuits has been revealed. The massive fraud and corruption express is boarding... maybe we should all try to get on board.
