Death of Democracy

Well here is my gripe. 700 Billion Dollars. Have you sat down and figured out how much of that is your share? It is probably more than you are willing to fork over (voluntarily) to support greed and irresponsibility. 700 Billion dollars. Centralization of a large portion of the American economy within the federal government. Right out of Karl Marx's playbook. Are you willing to give up your freedom, in order that those that were greedy and those that borrowed irresponsibly can be forgiven? If failure to pass this massive wealth transfer results in a recession, or worse, a depression, wouldn't that be better than sacrificing freedom that your children and grandchildren could enjoy? From 1776 to World War II, men sacrificed their LIVES, to ensure we enjoyed a freedom unknown to any other nation or empire in the history of the world. Now, from the President, (who I have ardently supported for 8 years), to the congress, there doesn't seem to be one man or woman willing to sacrifice their good name or legacy on preserving that very freedom. Not their physical life, just their legacy. Noone wants to take the blame should the worst case scenario happen. You can bet; however, that merely throwing 700 Billion Dollars at the problem, without correcting that which caused the problem, will only postpone the pain. Just my opinion.
