“Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.”

In the current circumstances it seems disconcertingly appropriate.

I realize there are those in legitimate need—just look at Michigan’s unemployment rate. But, I believe a lot of people tried to scam the system by buying more house than they could afford. Greedy lenders, with relaxed regulatory oversight, were only too happy to accommodate the buyers.

The illusion could only last so long, however. Unfortunately, even those of us who played by the rules are suffering the consequences.

As for the turncoats who gave away more than $800 billion on Friday? I say vote them all out of office. Preserving Freedom’s got a list of enemies of the people.
