Bailout Vs. Enema

October 1, 2008 |  Tagged , , , , | 3 Comments

I am a huge fan of The Three Stooges and regret using them as I am about to. When I see the congressional libiots from the party of the jackass guffawing about the current financial situation (largely of their own creation), I get an image of The Stooges in my head. Now I’m not an Obammunist elite, so please excuse my Stooges reference. The episode, “A Ducking They Did Go” has a scene, if I remember correctly, in which Larry, Moe, and Curly (in my mind Chris, Nancy, and Barney) are in a boat trying to shoot some ducks. One of the congressional stooges accidentally shoots a hole in the bottom of the boat in the name of “affordable home ownership” for people that can’t afford to buy homes. The boat begins to take on water and when the congressional stooges notice the impending disaster, one of them decides to bailout the boat with another shotgun blast to the bottom of the boat. The idea is that he or she created a hole for the water to flow out.

President Bush and Secretary Paulson should be out there with Barney, Nancy, and Chris… as should be many other Washington D.C. mainstays, but there are only three in any given episode.

I suggest that the stooges in D.C. not be allowed to unleash a problem perpetuating or even expediting bailout upon the citizens they are supposed to represent. We need something other than a bailout, something that will correct the problems created in our capitol. This situation requires a solution, perhaps something like soap and hot water, that can flush out the government placed economic impactions. As I’ve previously said, “D.C. needs and enema!”

Career politicians that peddle influence and retain their seats by bringing home the bacon (pork) or furthering the metastasis of socialism through policies that grow a dependent electorate are a huge portion of the problem. Again, I’m a common man, not an elitist purveyor of Obammunism like Roger The Commenter or any of Barack’s unofficial campaign staff in the media, so I have to rely on common sense here. The Barney Fwank’s, Nancy Pelosi’s, etc. are only part, albeit a large one, of the waste that that should be pumped from D.C. (now I’m thinking septic tank.)

The policies and laws that have been put in place to help the little guy (or to harm the big guy) and have negatively impacted the economy should be flushed out. The harmful consequences may have been unintended as the fools that put them forward may have believed that they were doing the right thing, but there is a saying regarding the paving of “the road to Hell.” Some of the harm may be as intended, put forth by Marxist politicians that seek to equalize outcomes by eliminating opportunity. Some of these may have been offered by legislators and executives with an Obammunistic idea of “fairness.”

Deregulation, Roger, is not the problem. Oppressive and ridiculous regulation, is indeed among the impacted fecal material that needs to be removed from our government! Sarbanes-Oxley forces companies to waste precious time and resources ensuring compliance, thus reducing productivity. Outlandish corporate taxes provide an incentive for companies to do business elsewhere. Capital gains taxes discourage investment.

Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, and Barney Frank are all on the record praising Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines, and the value of providing what amounts to high risk loans… in the face of warnings from the very people on who the Dumbocrats are now pinning this “crisis.” These GSEs and harmful policies such as the socialist CRA should be cleansed from the system, along with their defenders!

If our bloated government insists on addressing the financial “crisis,” they might be well served to consult “The Common Sense Fix” as being promoted by Dave Ramsey. Our excuses for leaders should do something that makes sense or do nothing at all. How about “first, do no harm?”

Here’s hoping that the electorate burns up the phone lines and e-mail servers on Capitol Hill until the elected representation begins to listen. Here’s also hoping that the electorate brings enema bags to the polls on November 4.

    It’s predictable that Obama and his gang of Dems leaders keep talking about the Fannie and Freddie failure is because of a philosophy of no regulation – you can’t do a damn thing in American without dealing with regulation! It is more likely the regulation we have imposed is causing the problems – will Americans ask that question before strangling the capitalist economy with “safeguards”?

    LOL. That’s a great analogy.
