Things We've Forgotten, Howard Ruff

One of the most dangerous political philosophies afflicting America today is the belief that we can’t allow anyone to suffer the natural consequences of their own stupidity.

For example, after the government first sucked people into buying and taking on mortgages they couldn’t afford to pay, when they got in trouble, the government produced welfare programs to see they had enough money. They also would force the banks to lower the mortgage terms so the consequences of stupidity would not be felt.

If cars aren’t selling, create the open-ended Cash for Clunkers program. If the big banks are about to fail, pour money into them and take control for the greater good of all of us. (more)
