3/17    So what's up with Bush's government intervention of the financial
        market (e.g. Bear Sterns)? I mean, I thought REPUBLICANS are pro
        FREE MARKET INVISIBLE HAND but clearly, the hand is very visible.
        \_ I supported the Iraq War                             -emarkp
        \_ Capitalism for the masses, socialism for the rich Wall Street guys!
           After all, deep executive talent is awfully hard to find in a
           competitive global marketplace.
           \_ "Privatize the profits, socialize the losses" -- the Republican
              mantra.  Get rid of any and all regulation to maximize risk and
              return, and when everything collapses (long after all the rich
              have gotten obscenely richer) bail the whole train wreck out
              using taxpayer money.
              \_ waiting for jblack and emarkp to counter these blatantly
                 false liberal statements.
              \_ is there supposed to be something wrong with that?
                 \_ yes.
