55. The inevitable result of "free" market capitalism.
Every single time this ignorant "free" market, neoliberal, laissez fair capitalism is promoted and implemented, it destroys the economy of a country or world. You would think people would catch on?

But no, they buy into it with each successive new label. Milton Friedman and the uber wealthy sold this to our government and a bunch of fools kept voting in the people who implemented it.

Now you have the final throes of a failed ideology. The uber wealthy are grabbing up all the nation's wealth before we little people realize the treasury has been looted.

Obama claimed he still believes in this "free" market crap. It's nothing but horse sh*t decorating greed and selfishness. It seems it takes a gargantuan effort to rid this country of ridiculous "free" market notions.

I think Obama's idea of free market ain't quite what Milton or the bush had in mind. Obama, the bush, most repukes and some Dems were true believers. The bush and some repukes are still believers. The rest of us have seen the results and have realized what a bankrupt idea "free" market capitalism really is. Obama is smart. He made the wrong decision on FISA but I think he is figuring out the truth.
