Going to the ultimate source of our economic ills:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in what was billed as her first public-speaking engagement outside North America, blamed the world financial crisis on government excesses and called for a new round of deregulation and tax cuts for U.S. businesses.
“We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place,” the former Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate said Wednesday at a conference sponsored by investment firm CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets. “We’re not interested in government fixes, we’re interested in freedom,” she added…
…In the wide-ranging address, Ms. Palin touched on the rising U.S. budget deficit, the debate over a proposed health-care overhaul, the war in Afghanistan and China’s role in world affairs.
She described her political philosophy as a “common-sense conservatism,” and said the free-market policies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher should be guides for how to get out of the current economic situation. “Liberalism holds that there is no human problem that government can’t fix if only the right people are put in charge,” she said.
Other news reports are claiming that some US bankers in attendance walked out – probably due to a guilty conscience. Government made Wall Street what it is today – the play ground of the well-connected and a slush fund for the government apparatchiks who regulate Wall Street: the calls by Obama and his liberals for more government regulation are really just calls to make the bond between Wall Street and DC tighter…so that there can be more special deals for the well-connected and more “oversight” which doesn’t see.
Freedom is the answer – and freedom requires that we break up Big Government and Big Corporation….but, also, that we unfetter the American people. Get rid of those regulations which make it next to impossible to start up a new factory, or a new farm, or a new mine – get rid of the liberal NIMBYism which has prohibited us from building nuclear power plants, drilling for oil, refining gasoline and exploiting our massive coal reserves. Unleash the American economy – and allow real wealth to be built up: that is what will cure our ills.

it comes down to this, and this can be seen by the cash for clunkers debacle…when a problem arises in the free markets, government steps in to “fix” the problem. then when the problem doesn’t get fixed, government then steps in to fix the fix, and so on and so on and so on.

wasnt the FIRST cash for clunkers supposed to last until Nov.?
seems the money ran out in four days, so additional BILLIONS was added and only lasted 2 more weeks?
These are the same people predicting how much natl health care will cost?
BWWWWWWAAAAA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

BINGO……!!!
Isn’t it ironic that our progressives castigate private, inefficient corporations while singing the virtues of the public, inefficient corporation?
Do they not realize that there is virtually zero difference between the bloated private corporation, and the bloated public government?
Except of course for the big military contractors.

I must have missed where conservatives advocate eliminating competition re: pentagon contract bidding. Care to provide us with that flimflam?
Otherwise, your drivel is simply tedious and immature.
You do realise Palin’s attendance as the keynote speaker was a practical joke?
Re millitary contractors, I thought it interesting that the amount of money that ACORN has received in the past 20 years altogether is roughly equal to what the taxpayer paid to Haillburton each day during the war in Iraq.
Puts a little perspective on things.
flimmy,
Any chance you can actually answer the question? Or do you prefer regurgitating mindless, non sequiter talking points?
Flimflam,
The only people who thought it was a “practical joke” were you lefties. You can’t stand all the attention she’s received despite how the left has smeared her, and you’ll believe anything anyone makes up if it conforms to what you want to believe.
The 1300 people in attendance and those who paid her speaking fee certainly didn’t think it was a “practical joke”.
carol,
Its just sour grapes…the money men who got us in to this mess don’t want to hear from a person who proposes to kick them in the a** and stop their cushy deals with Big Government…
flim,
Market capitalization General Dynamics: $24.35 billion
Market capitalization GE $180.66 billion
Which company is tight with Obama? Which company is part of the financial mess we’re in? Which company owns an MSM outlet which is in Obama’s hip pocket?
Answer those questions – and then get the heck out of here.

this statement indicates a complete lack of understanding of the true causes in the sub-prime market collapse.
the congress invalidated state bucket laws which, in turn, enabled the CDS market to exist & mitigate risk w the sub-prime market.
the problem was effective state regulation was disabled by congress
OO,
Uh, that is precisely what Governor Palin said…you really got to leave off hating people just because they’re Christian, ya know?

state govt regulation was NOT the problem so “we’re not interested in govt fixes” shows a complete lack of understanding.
no palin apologist can spin that otherwise.
I made an econ comment on what palin actually said.
your ad hom comment reflects you not me same as if I said (no doupt incorrectly) “stop hating people, mark, because they’re NOT christian.”
your assumptions about me are amusing tho.

“stop hating people, mark, because they’re NOT christian.”
WAIT 0 forgot,
you hate people because they are minorities AND not Christian…
you have to love the constant drumbeat, of the template….conservative = racist, hate etc ad nausium.
marxist nothing but looooovvvvee.
funny stuff one could write stand up from 0rrin, joe, and a few others.
What a joke. Palin was actually for government intervention and the bail outs. Now she is against it? Talk about toeing the party line…
