20 September 08 - 20:0325+ years of Market Fundamentalist claptrap junked

Bush tosses Market Fundamentalism under the bus: world's most powerful unfettered free market cheerleader endorses Social Democracy/regulated markets. Basically, free markets are great until things actually go wrong, then it's time to call in the adults and proper supervision onto the playground. Rothbard, Rand, Friedman, and Hayek all roll in their graves while Libertarian, Objectivist, and Neoliberal Republicans' heads all start exploding. Couldn't have asked for a better endorsement. Thank you, W!

"I'm sure there are some of my friends out there that are saying, I thought this guy was a market guy, what happened to him,'' the president said. "My first instinct was to let the market work, until I realized, while being briefed by the experts, how significant this problem became."

"Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. Bailouts for the rich, pull yourself up by your bootstraps for the poor. Golden parachutes for the connected, personal responsibility for the proles. Anyone wanna bet we double our prison population in the next decade? If we last that long that is." - Max Thrax on TBP About sums up our economic system.

This is what happens when you send your military on adventures that have nothing to do with your own country's security. You waste their energy, equipment, and morale, and when you really need them, you're out of luck.

I recently replaced my old, crufty Staples chair with a Herman Miller Mirra and I've got to say, this thing is amazing. Full recline mode is great for that coding-while-dangling upside down feeling.
