What are the alternatives to a free market system? Socialism or some form of govt. control. Bush is saying that those work better than the free market. You agree with that?
Only a damn fool would say it let alone believe it. I don't care what he "knows". Unless this is the plan they have all along - to rend the free market we have and amalgamate it with the rest of the world. Are you for that?

I don’t think Bush or Cheney are fools. Cheney has always been regarded around here as very smart and astute. Apparently that must only be true if Cheney agrees with whomever the poster may be, at the time... LOL...
But, really, they’ve got the details at their hands and know a lot more than you or I do. I think they are right. It does require extreme measures, in order to save the economy...
I’ve been saying that I’m sure we’re sinking into a Great Depression. And that being the case, we had better “go to war” in regards to the economy. And “wartime” requires extreme measures (which the government is already engaged in at the present time, anyway...).
I’m not for undoing the free market system any more than I would be for being in a continual “state of war”. Being in a state of war is a temporary measure until you’ve won the war. And likewise, taking extreme measures is temporary until the Great Depression is over.... (it hasn’t really taken hold yet, though, but you’ll see it in 2009 and on...).
