I also challenge you to show me 1 single example where government spending to the degree that is being proposed today has helped. I patiently await the opportunity to be educated.
Because I believe in the free market, I am a "nut job"? Are you a government employee? GM and other failing buinesses are victims of failed business policies and projections, in addition to the credit crisis. Just like any other failed business or household, they are guilty for not doing due diligence and having proper reserve funds in place.
Finally, you think this nation achieved its success by laid off employees flocking to the governmernt to provide them with a job? I think not. If you are ever unemployed, you may be very depending on one us free market nut jobs to provide you with employment, because government jobs are few and far between.
I would encourage you to tone down the rhetoric and name calling. We can all disagree, but we don't need to call each other names.
The bottom line is that us free-market nut consrevatives have history and proof on our side. All the proponents of large government spending and pseudo socialist/private companies are seeking a pie-in-the-sky, utopia that never works, and if they would simply read their history, they would realize it.

My humble apologize for the nut job comment. I thought the last administration was conservative / free market? Interesting how they started throwing taxpayer money at all the free market bankers. Classic example of conservative philosophy, privatize the profits, socialize the losses. I have to go home now, but will expand on this tomorrow. Again, sorry for the nut job comment, it wasn't meant to be directed at anyone on this site, it was meant for all the freemarket/welfare receiving bankers and businesses.
