Be careful what you wish for!
Last fall, conservative commentators such as Nolan Finley of the Detroit News and Frank Beckmann of WJR radio continuously warned us that, if elected, President Barack Obama would bring socialism to America, as if it hadn’t already arrived. At the same time both men tirelessly defended the federal government’s “bridge loans” to GM and Chrysler, and would complain that, unlike the banks on Wall Street, Detroit’s money would come with strings attached. But lately we’ve learned that too may be wrong as the White House has been rumored to be contemplating the setting of salaries for these banks’ employees. The moral of the story is never expect a handout from the government without expecting a loss of liberty in return.
