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.
