Reply #4: Same with the economy... [View All]

[gmoney]

Rush and Hannity keep talking about how the private sector, rather than the government, is the only possible savior for the economy.

Well, they've had plenty of time. I don't see the private sector doing much beyond downsizing and outsourcing, and finding ways to screw individuals financially while somehow making institutional profits. Sure, Goldman Sachs made billions, but did they create more than a handful of jobs since they were bailed out?

And I love how they keep bitching about how the government "took over" GM and Chrysler and are "nationalizing" them, as if they were thriving companies forced into servitude at the hands of government fascists. As I recall, they were both going to collapse entirely unless the government stepped in to rescue them, and the government wants to wash their hands of the companies as soon as they're viable...
