In doing my morning reading I find posts at EconLog from both Arnold Kling and David Henderson that are in line with my thoughts on government bailouts and increasing anger and frustration. Arnold says
Starting last September, our country has gone through six months that shook the world. We have abandoned free markets. We have abandoned democracy, in the sense of having policies that reflect the popular will. The United States has become a technocratic dictatorship.
David’s post is on Rick Santelli’s CNBC video that I mentioned in my previous post. And as of this morning, there is now an official Rick Santelli’s Tea Party web site, with Tea Party plans for July 4, 2009 in Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Lynne,
I’m all for the “Tea Party” but by July 4, 2009 it might be TOO LATE! I suggest “April Fools Day” or better yet March 15, 2009. The “Old Bard” William Shakespeare put it wisely “Beware the Ides of March” when Julius Caesar is warned by a soothsayer that a plot is a foot. Someone needs to speak out against Obama’s wrong headed plan.
