“The idea of a sytem in which everyone...EVERYONE...gets a gubmint”

You mean like Romney offering to bail out the auto industry when he campaigned in Detroit? Do you mean that gubmint?

I disagree with the idea of an auto industry bailout, but I would point this out:

Bailing out an industry that employs a huge number of blue collar Americans and is essential for defense is a very different thing from sending a government check to every single American household, including the one headed by Bill Gates and the ones headed by the CEOs of the Big Three automakers. Also, an auto industry bailout would not result in the Congress acting as a second Fed by manipulating the amount of the gubmint checks.

Sorry, but the compariosn you made is like comparing subprime loans to no-strings welfare payments. Both were bad ideas, but one of them is far worse than the other.
