Paulson proposes hosing the United States even more
I just saw a story at the Washington Post announcing Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s plans for the demise of financial institutions. He thinks that because government is the expected answer to problems, we ought to give people more intervention. Because it’s a lack of intervention that causes problems or something.
Let’s see what he has to say.
“We should quickly consider how to appropriately give the Fed the authority to access necessary information from highly complex financial institutions and the responsibility to intervene in order to protect the system,” Paulson plans to say, “so they can carry out the role our nation has come to expect.”
One piece of crap at a time here. “QUICKLY.” Because this is so important we should make sure that we don’t even think very hard about it or have any meaningful debate. “GIVE THE FED THE AUTHORITY.” Because the Fed has solved every problem in the past and never caused any problems. “TO ACCESS NECESSARY [sic] INFORMATION.” Because people shouldn’t be allowed to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects. “TO INTERVENE.” Because all powers are inherently vested in the central government. “THE ROLE OUR NATION HAS COME TO EXPECT.” Because our nation has come to expect aggressive wars, indefinite budget deficits, encroachments on liberty, debasement of currency, a kingly presidency, and detainments without charge.
I think Paulson actually touches on a good point here. If we expect fascism we will get it folks.
