I am trying to appreciate the difference between paying farmers not to grow crops and to prop up their prices with government subsidies and the outrage expressed by conservatives at paying automakers not to make autos (as canada joins the team in shoveling money at the Big 3)
This time its different though, because the same government that has brought you HUD, pay for play, Homeland Defense, public education, $600 hammers, $50B unaccounted for from the TARP, deficits as far as the eye can see, Medicare fraud, Fannie and Freddie, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the SEC oversight of the financial markets, post-Katrina accountability of public funds, a DoD that is unauditable, and the ultimate Ponzi scheme of all: Social Security are going to be overwatching the Big 3
