Taxation without Representation:
When a government (ours) decides to run on a deficit (under any administration), is this taxation without representation?  We are setting up a program which will tax the future generations - unborn and unrepresented.  Running a government on a deficit is exactly what what Americans fought against in the 18th century: Taxation without Representation.

The Blind leading the Blind:
So our government, the same government who plans to operate on a deficit (in the "red") of over a trillion dollars (see: huge warehouse full of $100 bills) for the foreseeable future, believes that is can run our banking system better than the bankers.  Thinks that it can build and sell cars better then the auto industry.  Believes that it can manage health care more efficiently.  If you can't balance your own budget stay the hell out of mine.  You don't go to a chronic welfare recipient for financial success strategies.

Carbon Foot-Prints:  Tread lightly or get hit with a big tax stick
"Get your Carbon Credits, Carbon Credits here!!!"   So, its ok to "pollute", as long as you fund government expanse?  The government wants to create a new Carbon Credit Market by which companies can buy and sell their carbon output credits...and the big winner is: The government - and the big loser is....big business?....NO!!!  The consumer, who will see increase prices!!!  YEAH!!!  Oh and I can't wait for that 30% increase in energy costs!  SWEET!  (see: sarcasm)
An effective, "carbon friendly" energy source that is actually viable and efficient: Nuclear
Bonus:  We can give the depleted fuels rods to N Korea so that they can have better anti-armor weaponry that they will not use against anyone since they got to have a nice sit down with our President.  (see again: Sarcasm)

On the Carbon topic- Flips-Flops made from recycled, environmentally friendly, whatever:
So, leaders of the left rail against the automotive industry for polluting - yet they want to bail them out as a prelude to the government owning 50-70% of the company.  (Can't wait to see ranchers pulling goose-neck cattle trailers behind their government mandated Prius.)  So which is it?  Hate car makers, save carmakers, become car makers?  (See: blind leading blind) 

Failure is the key to Success
Anyone who has succeeded has experienced failure, failure is the classroom in which we learn life lessons.  Failure is an essential element of the free market economy.  If you cease to be a viable entity you fail - you learn from it and take a different approach and/or others leanr from you and avoid your course.  When the government removes the element of failure from the free market it hinders the effectiveness of free market (and I doubt that I am the only one who has realized this. (ahem, cough - increase reliance on the government - cough) 
I would love to think that this is the government admitting they were wrong and taking some blame for the problem (see: ACORN, forced loans to those who cannot repay them)  But they have never admitted any wrong doing...so no claims to responsibility. 
Let them fail!!!  Let GM fail, if there is a market for the American built car (which there is) they will be bought by another entity other than the government.  With the Chevy Silverado and the Ford F150 continually ranking #1 and #2  on top selling lists they are viable companies...heck just build and sell your trucks.  Let Toyota and Honda make the small cars (they do a better job)
Banks make bad loans?  Let them FAIL!!!  Learn a lesson from it....don't "reward" stupidity, and don't mandate it either.
Ronald Reagan summed it up perfectly"
"[G]overnment's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Why do those on the left, who advocate more government, and those on the right (or atleast carry an R next to their name) allow it to happen - not trust the American people.  They do not trust us to live our own lives.  They feel that they know better than we do how to spend our money.  They want to madate charity, they want to regulate every aspect of our lives.  There are some who would choose to let the government be their parents, to choose to revert back to adolescence and have decisions made for them - so long as they get thier tax payer funded allowance. 
*We have the power to regulate ourselves - don't like the way a compnay operated stop buying their products or services.  We the consumer can self-regulate.
*Believe in a charity - donate time and/or money (Which conservatives do at a much greater rate than liberals, there is an entire book on the topic)
*Bought a house you can't afford:  Suck it up, deal with it and learn....what logic lends to 50K a year being able to afforf 500K of house?  Why should I pay your mortgage and mine?
*Are the big bad credit card companies tweeting you wrong?  I guess I missed the gun to the head that makes you use them.  Say no to debt.  If you play with snakes don't be suprised when you get bit.
Bu no worries the government is here to bail you out...all that is required is no questions asked (but we kow that is what got us in trouble in the first place) - nevermind all the strings.  Personal responsibility be damned.

Would love to get your reply (all ;) ) and know what you think...have a great weekend.  With each dollar (the green stuff that our grandparents used) we spend - think about your convictions and whether or not your purchases are in keeping.  The free market gives consumers power, use it.
