A Liberal Thanksgiving

With all this rambling, one can't but question whether the author isn't supporting the Pelosi/Obama alternative of social welfare statism instead of the idea of individual rights, individual choices and individual responsibility.

Clearly the markets confounded many in the heyday of sub-prime mortgages. But, who didn't question the relationship of house prices to income during the recent real estate heyday include those who sit in Congress, as well as an assorted group of supposed regulators, non-regulators, banks and investors. So, who's to blame? Grab a mirror and don't look for a savior. (As PT Barnum (or someone like him) said, "there's a sucker borne every minute".)

Some of those current suckers look as though they believed in the Dubai economic miracle.

And, 53% of blue collar Democrats per a recent survey believe Obama is on the right track with economy. (One wonders what the percentage of UAW members believe and believed the union took the right approach to GM and Chrysler?)

So is there some benevolent, all seeing brilliant parties or parties to be trusted to help achieve whatever goals people have for themselves and others; or, should such brilliance (for hey or nay) be left to the individual?

My vote is for the individual!
