WE DOTH PROTEST TOO LITTLE, ME THINKS

Our president tells us to support the bailouts because "your hometown bank might be in trouble."

Our president elect calls our economy "the worst in a century" and insists "things will get worse before getting better."

This shallow pair has scared many of us into actions which will fulfill their dire observations.

Even the not-too-swift Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a president whose nation was already in a real depression, knew enough to calm the people. "All we have to fear is fear itself," he said just before he turned around and installed a frightful New Deal.

Now the meddling begins. Guvmint will attempt to fix this and then correct that. They almost admit they don't know what to do, but they can't resist doing something.

Free enterprise was never free enough. It has a nature of cycles, brief and not deep, which are self-correcting. But the neosocialists don't have faith in freedom.

A Pressident Ron Paul would have had this crisis over by now, by adopting laissez faire policies.

It's all so simple.
