I have a cousin who is a humanities professor at a prestigious university. She spouts all the leftwing nonsense in public but, privately, she is as conservative as I am. When I asked her to explain once, she said “It is simple. I spout the nonsense to get and keep my job. I vote conservatively because only a free capitalist society can generate the wealth to support the nonsensical world of academia in which I have to work.”

We are in the final innings of the USA-bankruptcy game. Obama will ensure that result.
The next step will be a rapid loss of political freedom. Large Government and extensive Gov’t-supported interest groups fighting with the private sector for remaining wealth will mean less freedom for property and the individual. This is an iron rule, as seen in extremis in all socialist states.

A very good column by Samuelson...he definitely hits the nail on the head regarding the state of General Motors.
This Administration and the Democrat Majority in Congress is wasting no time in dragging this great nation down the Socialist rabbit trail...and it absolutely scares me. And what's even worse is that there is NO opposition from the GOP (unless it isn't being reported, which wouldn't surprise in the least).
