Ogre’s Politics and Views

So, did you read about the housing rescue that passed the House? In case you didn’t, let me sum it up for you:

There shall be no economic freedom in this country. You shall not be free to engage in monetary risk at all, because government has decided that’s not safe. You will not buy a house in the hopes it will increase in value if you and the seller agree, because government says that’s not safe. If you do it, you will be jailed. In addition, because everyone now has a right to housing, it’s much too dangerous to leave housing to the free market, so government shall control any and all housing transactions. In addition, government will now buy and sell houses because they know better than you how much houses should cost. If you want a house, ask government, and they will buy it for you. The conversion to complete socialism in the mortgage industry is now complete.

Seriously, that’s what it says. The government just spent (presuming it passes the Senate) nearly $5 trillion dollars (even if they won’t admit that’s what they spent). They have completely taken over the mortgage industry because government will now back ALL mortgage loans. They are going into the business of buying and selling houses — go ahead, try and compete with someone who has literally unlimited money. They’re buying votes from all sorts of people by taking money from responsible working people. I am starting to understand more people like Ed Brown who simply stop paying taxes because government is so corrupt it’s insane.

Go ahead, keep thinking this is a free country. You’re just plain wrong. We currently have some sort of government that’s between communism and total socialism. Government controls industry and we’re only allowed to vote for those that the two political parties choose. Oh, how I yearn for freedom.
