Paulson - Secretary or Dictator?
Our Forefathers, and the patriots who fought and died for this country, are all rolling over in their graves right now. In the founding of our great nation, the vision for the federal government was to play a minimal role in our daily lives and "promote the general welfare." The federal government was originally intended to keep peace among the states and for the defense of the nation. Now, it seems the federal government has gotten so big and out of control that it now sees within its duty to guarantee our general welfare and totally violate the fundamental ideals of the United States of America.
Amidst a drastic crash of the DJIA today, after a failed and unprecedented global interest rate cut, Secretary Paulson is now considering directly purchasing equity in U.S. banks to get the flow of credit moving again - just like his plan was needed to avert the market crash that we have experienced the past few days. Chuck Schumer supports this idea and feels it is one of the better ideas proposed to intervene in this crisis. This New Deal style of government intervention sounds rather similar to the initiatives of a dictator of a socialist country in South America. Hugo Chavez detests the ideals of capitalism and freedom and everything that America stands for. It wasn't too long ago when we were in the biggest conflict in our nation's history against communism. When are Americans going to wake up and realize we are on a very slippery slope towards becoming a socialist country.
We are moving in a direction where the U.S. will no longer be that shining beacon on a hill where everyone in the world wants to come to enjoy the prospect of achieving the American dream. The American dream will be no longer because there is no dream that government can bring to life. Our Forefathers knew this which is why they drafted the greatest constitution ever created and bore the greatest nation on earth. They realized that the proper role of the federal government is to protect the God-given rights of individuals and empower individuals to achieve their very best - anything more than that is getting in the way of achieving that dream - anything more than that is government ensuring the general welfare - anything more than that is socialism.
