How dare we hold companies receiving federal funds responsible!!!Originally Posted by TYLERTECHSAS
... and not hold the government responsible. The only difference between GM and our government is GM cannot print more money.
We shouldn't let the foxes in the henhouse. LET THEM FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY (like the good old days of capitalism). Fascism will NOT work!
The country *did* hold the government responsible. That is why the switchover in 2006 and 2008 happened. If they're so upset about what Obama and Congress are doing, they have another shot to hold government responsible in 2010 and 2012.
My prediction: Dont hold your breath. The majority of the country is going along with this.
I'm only ok with the "idea" of the federal control because the companies asked for the bailouts. I am against the idea of the bailouts though. Let those suckers FLOP.
The majority of the country went along with slavery at one time too.... doesn't mean it was right.

No where in there did Geithner say it would only be the CEO's of , "companies receiving federal funds ". This is quit open ended my friend.
Therefore, everything the majority ever does is wrong. Nice logical fallacy. The majority of the country also identifies as Christian. Are you saying you now reject Jesus?
No, I'm saying the majority can be wrong. The majority was wrong on the AIG bonuses (which were legal contracts with an employer and it's employees, backed by the authority of Obama's spending bill). The majority was outraged about it, and the government unconstitutionally proposed to tax these private citizens at 90% to pacify the mob. Fortunately, the mob has died down and it appears to courts may end up overruling this proposed legislation.
I don't think he was saying popularity makes something wrong. Just that it doesn't make it right.

“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
Ahhh... but are they really?? BTW, your Obamessiah doesn't think America is a Christian nation anymore......remember???
