crisis in the market? So the government should step in whenever there is a crisis in the market?

I guess you are a Bushite then

“I abandoned the free market to save the free market?”

Newsflash there is always a crisis in the market. It is an excuse for the government to integer in the markets.

so I guess you are fine with governmental intervention into the markets whenever one has a crisis. After all there was a crisis in the auto market and the government bailed out the car companies and there was a crisis in the home market and the government bailed out the home markets and there was a crisis in the bank market and the government bailed out the banks with Tarp. and there was a crisis in the credit markets so the Fed did Qe2.

I like how you are trying to twist this into a good thing. i never thought I would see people on FR say governmental intervention was a good thing just because their candidate screwed up and showed her real colors as a Big government interventionist. Show me where in the Constitution that it says the government shall intervene in the market during a crisis. bachmann is not a constitutional conservative. she is a typical politician singing you a song. or do you also think the patriot act is a good thing?

You are arguing like a liberal. Bush was a fool.

The Swine Flu pig market crash was an act of G-d crisis. Like a weather event, tornado, hurricane. H1N1 FLU! Not a self inflicted crisis like the auto market or the credit market bubble. The auto industry needed to go bankrupt to self correct the union bloat. The financial sector also should have gone bankrupt and let the market reset itself. You are conflating the issue. Apples and Oranges. Did the market or government contribute to the H1N1 flu? All told the government spent peanuts on this act-of-G-d induced pig buy. And you want to make a big deal about it.

Bachmann is correct to view infrastructure, roads and bridges as non-pork earmarks. The federal highway system must be maintained. The difference is that she does not believe in sticking them in Omnibus bills in the dead of night but should be visible in a transportation bill for all to see and vote on. Are you saying the Federal government should not maintain roads and bridges?
