“Why do you allow these men who are in power to rob you step by step, openly and in secret, of one domain of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanised state system presided over by criminals and drunks?” – Die Weisse Rose (The White Rose), Resistance Leaflet 3, 1942

One can track the bill HERE
The contempt for the market and the freedom of the average individual seems to have no bounds for some of our politicians. They have absolutely no understanding of the natural order of things, or efficiency, or innovation, or creativity. They always want to manage. They want to get into everyone’s business. They want control.
And that’s what it really is all about folks- control. Many people in Washington DC do not consider you capable of making your own decisions. You are little more than chattel, serfs, drones (the non-flying kind) to be shuffled and prodded to do the will of those who know what is best for society.
A free individual? Don’t be so naive. You are not free. Frankly you should give up such quaint notions and capitulate. You’ll be much happier as a cog. You’ll see.
Let’s plan everything in this country. And let’s let Tom Harkin and the President do it. I am sure it will all work out great.
(From The Business Insider)
In effect, Senator Harkin wants the President to centrally plan the economy. Never mind that the President has zero experience in business or manufacturing. But hey, this worked out so well for Stalinist Russia, it’s no wonder Mr. Harkin wants to copy that model.
The post Senator Harkin introduces a bill which would require the president to develop a centrally planned manufacturing strategy. appeared first on AgainstCronyCapitalism.org.

Can you imagine a worse idea?

The Coming Derivatives Panic That Will Destroy Global Financial Markets
December 4th, 2012
*** begin quote ***
It would have been really nice if we had not allowed these banks to get so large and if we had not allowed them to make trillions of dollars of reckless bets. But we stood aside and let it happen. Now these banks are so important to our economic system that their destruction would also destroy the U.S. economy. It is kind of like when cancer becomes so advanced that killing the cancer would also kill the patient. That is essentially the situation that we are facing with these banks.
It would be hard to overstate the recklessness of these banks. The numbers that you are about to see are absolutely jaw-dropping. According to the Comptroller of the Currency, four of the largest U.S. banks are walking a tightrope of risk,
*** end quote ***
The bottom line is that Big Gooferment likes Big Anything.
More contributions.
More crony faux capitalism. Get money by playing the game; NOT satisfying customers.
Simple solution. Artificially constrain the size by limiting balance sheets. Require excess to be spun back to the owners.
Ever hear of “anti-trust” or “restraint of trade”?
Not going to happen, because they are all in bed with one another.
