The Founding Fathers Said...

A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal. - John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

Foreclosures: A new federal report shows that most bailed-out borrowers slip back into default within six months. Will Washington now throw more good (taxpayer) money after bad?

Let’s not allow Congress and members of the bailout parade to panic us into allowing them to do things, as was done in the 1930s, that would convert a mild economic downturn into a true calamity. Right now the Big Three auto companies, [...]

A spokesman for a Washington-based free market think tank says if Congress wants to help the auto industry, it should repeal the fuel economy standards it enacted last year rather than provide the automakers a government handout.
Ford, GM, and Chrysler are asking the federal government for $25 billion [...]

Kroft Pushes Obama to Agree U.S. in 1930s-Like Depression
By Brent Baker
Created 2008-11-16 22:05

60 Minutes viewers got better economic rationality Sunday night from President-elect Barack Obama than from the journalist who interviewed him. CBS’s Steve Kroft proposed: “People are comparing this to 1932. Is that a valid comparison, do you think?” Obama didn’t [...]

By Mark Finkelstein

Joe Scarborough didn’t cotton to being called a “socialist,” but that’s just the label Krystia Freeland laid on him during today’s Morning Joe.  The Financial Times editor used the s-word to describe what she mockingly described as Joe’s “touching faith” in the [...]

Conservatism’s current intellectual chaos reverberated in the Republican ticket’s end-of-campaign crescendo of surreal warnings that big government — verily, “socialism” — would impend were Democrats elected. John McCain and Sarah Palin experienced this epiphany when Barack Obama told a Toledo plumber that he would “spread the wealth around.”

WASHINGTON - Adding to the chorus of pleas for financial help, three big-city mayors asked the federal government Friday to use a portion of the $700 billion financial bailout to assist struggling cities.
