Handout's Bailout's ENTITLEMENTS For Everyone These Days

Doesn't the government just love to spend our money these days? It certainly seems that way, doesn't it? Not only did they go ahead with the big bailout, that the majority of Americans were against I might add. But they had tacked on about $150B in non-essential pork to get it passed. And now that there exists this big new honey-pot of "come and get it" funds, everyone striving for a piece of the action.

Case in point, the auto industry. Of which I'm sure elements in the government would love to get a piece (of control) of. That's a pretty big entity to move into the realm of socialism. Imagine trying to get a car loan once under the loving care of "big brother." And what kinds of cars we'll be stuck with. We've seen what happens when government interferes with housing, now we want to let them have a say in what we can drive? Just freaking fantastic! But yes, the Big-3 automakers are asking for a load of cash, as they have been spending their own out the wazoos. And they claim they will go under in "X" time frame if they don't get assistance. Pretty much the same lines the housing industry used to get the bailout in the first place. And most assuredly, they'll probably get it. The money that is. Got to keep those Union contributors happy.

And the handouts are flowing so readily, that companies are are now eagerly altering themselves from within to get on the socialistic bandwagon. Sure, take control of a portion of our company so we can continue to fatten our golden parachutes.

Another example, American Express. This isn't even a bank. They're a part of the credit industry. Or better described as, part of the reason why so many Americans have money problems these days. AMEX is now attempting to restructure itself to become a "holding company" to get in on the action. Wow, that's impressive. Going from being a part of the cause, to recipient overnight. Here's a novel idea AMEX since your NOT facing serious financial problems yet, like the housing and auto industry currently are. If you fail, you FAIL! Pretty much like what I've been saying since day one when this bailout issue arose. You fail, other entities that AREN'T failing buy up your assets. We move on.

But I suppose all this socialistic mindset were suffering from is too be expected. We've allowed socialism to creep into America over the last several decades, and our new president-elect capitalized on it. That even though you may not actually produce anything, your ENTITLED TO everything. Welcome to the burgeoning new industrial nation. The United SOCIALIST States Of America. The "land of the free home of the brave" seems to be going on vacation for a few years. If not longer.
