BUSH: I HAD TO TRASH THE FREE MARKET IN ORDER TO SAVE IT
It amazes me that so many people have seemed to buy into this absurdity. I'm glad you're not one of them.
"I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system." How can anyone take this seriously?
Is this supposed to be like Nietzsche's "that which does not kill us makes us stronger". Or is it more like "if you love something, set it free."
There may be situations and areas of study where seemingly paradoxical actions yield positive results -- but this is NOT one of them. One cannot save the free-market system by not only "abandoning" it, but by thwarting, subverting, overturning, and utterly destroying it.
Anyone remember the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve? When the Man of Steel flew around the Earth to reverse its rotation and turn back time?
This is what George Bush is trying to say he is doing. Did anyone else, when watching Superman, think: "Um, okay. This guy can fly in space to spin the plante backwards -- But, ah, why aren't all the people, buildings, plants, animals, oceans, atmosphere, and continents simply flying off into space?"
President Bush, like a movie character, is asking us to entirely suspend disbelief.
