How Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Are Just Like Katrina

Listen. I’ve been reading up and watching all the coverage about this financial mess we’re in right now, and it really reminds me a whole lot of another tragic event that happened not too long ago: Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, Louisiana. The only difference between the two is the actual physical damage that took place during Katrina. However, dismissing that one fact, both issues are nearly identical. And I’ll tell you why. Both disasters were borne of the same things:

• The poor, “dis-enfranchised” people were such a loud voice that powers in both the Louisiana Democrat government, as well as the Federal Government, were forced to give them handouts they really didn’t deserve, nor could they qualify for.

• People could not or would not take care of themselves, so the race- and class-warfare warlords went to battle on their behalf, forcing the governments to provide for them in the name of “social justice.”

• The citizens who participated in these government-controlled hand-out programs knew they couldn’t afford these houses or their lifestyles, but they took them anyway. Why not? The rest of the taxpayers would foot the bills, so why should they care?

• The race wardlords and poverty pimps of this country besieged the government to “do the right thing” and give people things they didn’t deserve nor could they repay. If the government didn’t, they would be forever publicly hounded and called heartless racists.

• And even though the government knew they couldn’t or wouldn’t repay what was given them, they did it anyway to appear benevolent and appease the class-warfare mouthpieces.

• Lastly, we are going to be paying for both for a long time to come.

In the end, everybody suffers. So this is a lose/lose situation. Free-market capitalism is the only thing that works. The “great society,” welfare and socialism will kill this great country as we know it. So with that in mind, you must vote for McCain/Palin ‘08 to keep the American dream alive, but be realistic. If you can’t afford it, don’t take out a loan for it. And if you don’t need it, don’t try to acquire it. I believe like Boortz does: we should stand at the building entrance to all welfare offices and confiscate cell phones. If you can afford a cell phone, then you don’t need welfare. Enough of this bullshit scamming off of the government (read = responsible society as a whole).
