The Source of Our Problems: Gubment!

Yup, they're at it again. SEE HERE It isn't enough that meddling with the mortgage system to insist that banks make high risk loans to people who couldn't afford home loans led to one of the biggest housing bubbles in history and the near meltdown of the economy, but now the president wants to start the cycle up again. Politicians simply don't learn from their mistakes and that is partly because they make other people pay for them. It's time we made them pay for them by putting them out to pasture. The idea of term limits comes to mind. It's not a popular idea with politicians since they imagine themselves a better form of life and we ought to recognize how privileged we are to have them as our masters. I personally think we could do better with a telephone book and a roulette wheel, at least then we wouldn't get 80% or so lawyers.
