I don't think you could find any more true-blue capitalists than those two.

As for Congress and the stimulus bill, there may be some Republicans who honestly believe in that free-market principle, but I think most of them are just posturing for their ignorant - as in "uninformed" - base. Secretly, they take credit for their pet additions and amendments to the bill, while denying publicly that they had any input. They think they're being so clever, but most rational people can see through them...I certainly hope.

These are very unusual times. No one knows quite what to do, but it's obvious that the old ways have failed and should not be resurrected. Some radical changes must be made, not just here but worldwide. We're ALL in this together -- it's either figure it out or go down for the count.
