"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others."

"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

Ayn Rand

Rand put it best in her 1973 article, “Censorship: Local and Express”:

“The conservatives see man as a body freely roaming the earth, building sand piles or factories -- with an electronic computer inside his skull, controlled from Washington . The liberals [the Democrats] see man as a soul freewheeling to the farthest reaches of the universe -- but wearing chains from nose to toes when he crosses the street to buy a loaf of bread.”

Further on, she notes:
“…Each camp wants to control the realm it regards as metaphysically important; each grants freedom only to the activities it despises….. ‘Control,‘ to both camps, means the power to rule by physical force. The conservatives want to rule man’s consciousness; the liberals, his body.”

Why the Rush?

Mr Obama has said it is urgent to get his plan to save the economy approved and start spreading the billions around. Some economists are starting to say that there are signs of improvement ahead, without Obama's billions. Certainly the stock market has leveled off in recent months. I think this is what BHO fears. If the recovery starts without the left's help, they lose. If he can spend even $1, then it turns around, he gets the credit. Problem is, the more they spend, the longer it will take to recover. Unfortunately, Bush started the rush to print more money. That's the only thing politicians know how to do, tax and spend. So both sides are drinking the socialist koolaid. If spending more was the answer, why hasn't it worked yet - ever?
