Once again the motor mouths in the Congress are at it again….first he was a socialist, then a Marxist and now he is a Fascist…..
One of my fav boneheads in the US House of Representatives, Michele Bachmann….she is at it again…as reported in Huffington Post……
“Let’s remember really what this is. This has a lot in common with Italy in the 1930s and they way Italy dealt with economics,” she said. “It still continues private ownership of business but government is in control.”She continued, “So government control of the private business, while it’s private ownership, that’s still at the end of the day the federal government virtually having a say over private business. We lose freedoms; we lose economic competitiveness.”
These are the people that are running this country and yet she sees it is run by a Fascist….if you are one of those who subscribes to her looney tunes then he need professional help…..get it soon.
Well, it’s difficult to comment on something like that – I mean, the stupidity of it simply defies description, doesn’t it?
The saddest thing is that there is just a kernel of truth is her main point – government interference in business is one of the biggest costs and certainly the largest opposition to a flourishing economy.
However, what she and people like her simply don’t get is that, with deregulation comes responsibility and that word seems have dropped out of use throughout our Western civilisations and may yet be the core reason for their demise in the not too distant future.
I am, as you know, always an advocate of getting its nose out of almost everything and concentrating on what it is supposed to be doing with the minimum of interference, legislation and bureaucracy, but if you as an individual OR as a corporation want that then you assume those functions from government for yourself – i.e. personal responsibility and integrity and CORPORATE responsibility and integrity.
Wingnuts like this woman never mention that side of the equation, though, because they clearly don’t understand the meaning of the words.
And this broad NEVER stops showing her ignorance…..it just amazes me sometimes…..
Sadly, nothing much amazws me any more.
Oops – amazes!
It is okay…..thjis early I forget spell check myself….LOL
