Everyone can’t help but think about money these days. We’re seeing less of it in our paychecks, we’re spending more of it for goods and services, we’re paying more of it in taxes (yes, Virginia, this year’s stimulus credit will be next year’s tax liability), and it continues to be news every day as Wall Street continues to wobble like a Weeble and Pater Obama and the Family take over more and more of private enterprise.
As it has been noted here and elsewhere in the non-Democrat-dependent media, the government got us into this mess in the first place and, throughout modern history, when the government makes a financial mess, they’ve never yet been able to clean it up. Since this administration is using previously-failed tactics, there’s no reason to think we’re going to come out of the current crisis with anything that resembles the original United States of America.
There have been rumblings for some time that the “average person” isn’t really savvy enough when it comes to investing, and various proposals hit the table time and again about how the government should step in and save them from themselves. If you believe that, folks, I have another bridge to nowhere for sale.
Here is a good piece that helps put remove the liberal’s hocus-pocus and puts the reality of the government’s deep dive into the private sector into better focus.
