Is This America?
Yesterday, our Senate voted for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, aka the Big Bank Bailout. In light of what our leaders have been saying, consider the following quotes:
“[It] was a necessary ‘evil’ that averted disaster.”
“I constantly state that [this] saved [us] from looming catastrophe. [It] was evil, but it was a far lesser evil than what would have happened without it.”
“It is important that history doesn’t continue to divide [us] for ever… History and the question of who is right are complicated and cannot be seen in terms of black and white.”
Are these the words of our leaders speaking about our economy and this legislation that is supposedly going to fix it? Well, in essence yes, but in fact these quotes come from Poland’s last communist leader, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, who spoke in a Reuters report today about his decision to declare martial law in 1981.
How much longer will we allow our country, our freedoms, and our prosperity to be taken from us in the name of “dire emergencies” that the government itself creates?
