When will it End?

Part of me just hates to focus on this topic today but I can't get away from it.

When is Washington going to get a clue? The American people don't like bail-outs but more importantly don't like the President, the Cabinet, nor Congress getting involved in the private sector!

I saw a clip from Neil Cavuto's show on Fox News yesterday that expressed the outrage that many of us are feeling. Neil had a Democrat Congressman from Central Florida who was a major sponsor on a bill that would basically allow the Treasury Secretary the authority to get rid of people who get "excessive" bonuses if they were given bail-out money from the federal government. Now I don't have a problem with the government giving oversight if they are handing out tax-payer dollars but the problem with this bill is that it doesn't just list CEOs nor does it say what is excessive.

Folks, we are watching the deterioration of capitalism as we know it. The United States is on the verge of massive socialism. Doesn't blow your mind that the President basically fired the CEO of GM? Sure the guy was bad but what does the President have to do with this? On top of all that, if this bill gets through that I just mentioned then every CEO or worker of a bailed out company will have their income reviewed and if the higher-ups in Washington D.C. think that they were compensated too much they could lose their job or be forced into giving the money back, etc.

I'm so glad that I'm not living for this world, however, I do have to live in it. And since I'm living in it - I'm going to let my voice be heard. We have Congress getting ready to pass a MASSIVE budget that the president says is needed. But if you go through it line by line you will see that this budget is nothing more than a liberal agenda seeking to create more power for the federal government and more dependence on the programs they "offer".

When will it end? I wish that I could give you a timeline. I wish that I could say that there is a person on the horizon with a backbone who has great fiscal responsibility, moral clarity, and can communicate conservative values. But as of today, I'm not sure who that person will be.

It is our duty to pray for this nation and its leaders. I am excited to hear some rumblings of people who are fed up with all this nonsense. Hopefully we can see some real change real soon.
