How Ya Like Us Now?
One of this year’s Democrat mantras is that the nations of the world don’t think much of us anymore. Our dollar was dwarfed by their currencies, and our moral authority was diminished.
Funny how they now are looking to us to bail their ungrateful butts out, but they’re not exactly going about it the right way..
World leaders called on the US government to take action to stave off global financial collapse Tuesday after Congress rejected a 700 billion dollar bailout in a move which stunned global markets.
Another European bank, Dexia, had to be rescued and shares went through another roller coaster ride after the House of Representatives voted 228-205 against the rescue on Monday.
European leaders led the calls for action by President George W. Bush who called close advisors into emergency talks after the defeat and was to make a statement on Tuesday.
Oh, the same President Bush the socialist nations call evil and stupid? THAT President Bush….
“The US must take its responsibilities in this situation, must show statesmanship for the sake of their own companies and for the sake of the world,” European Commission spokesman Johannes Laitenberger said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for another vote on the plan this week to restore market confidence.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he had sent a message to the White House to underline “the importance that we attach to taking decisive action”. New Japanese premier Taro Aso said: “We should not let the world financial system collapse.”
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said that he and other US allies would press Washington to take action.
Considering that the average American citizen could give a rip about foreign markets, maybe some of these leaders (instead of demanding) should say “please”?

I believe the phrase “fuck ‘em” fits the bill. What’s say we screw the whole global financial system, get back to a domestic industrial/manufacturing complex and go back to the values that made us a superpower in the first place.
Let’s go back to working for ourselves and not “our fellow man”.

Maybe we should air drop 600 copies of “Atlas Shrugged” on PA avenue. These idiots have no idea what Lassiez Faire economics is about.

I don’t think they can read at that level quite frankly. By the time they’re done we’d be in the midst of the next election anyway.
