Bachmann also declared: "Economics works equally in any country. Where freedom is tried, the people rejoice. But where tyranny is enforced upon the people, as Barack Obama is doing, the people suffer and mourn."Well, this is way over-dramatic, but there is a nugget of truth there. What Obama is trying to do isn't impose a tyranny, but rather, save people's pension savings. If we try what Bachmann means by freedom and vote down Obama's plan, people will be shocked, because they will soon discover freedom means poverty. It's honest poverty, which is its saving grace, but poverty nonetheless.
We don't need a revolution, especially if its led by people like Bachmann, but we do need to make a decision. Is Geithner's plan the best for America? Yes or no?
In my view, no. We have to break the stranglehold Wall Street has on the federal government and prevent the onset of a crippling inflation. But do not pretend there will be no consequences for such a choice. Secretaries of the Treasury Paulson and Geithner, utterly different in natures, both wet their pants when they contemplate the failure of this sort of plan.
It's disaster on one hand and catastrophe on the other hand: heart attack or cancer. There is no easy way out.
Let's go with heart attack. Vote down Geithner's plan, let AIG and a host of other firms go bankrupt, and pick up the pieces afterwards.
