During the election campaign those of us who contended Obama wanted to enormously increase political control of the economy were castigated and ridiculed by the MSM. Turns out Obama DOES want to control most all businesses. “Strict regulation and control of the economy by the Obama administration through some form of corporatist economic planning in which the legal forms of private ownership of industry are nominally preserved but in which both workers and capitalists are obliged to submit their plans and objectives to the most detailed government regulation and extensive wage and price controls, which are designed to insure the priority of the political leadership’s objectives over the private economic interests of the citizenry. Therefore under Obama’s desired economic system, most of the more important markets are allowed to operate only in a non-competitive, cartelized, and governmentally “rigged” fashion.” The public is in a fearful near panic and looking for stability, think 1930’s.

Who was it that said: socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money.?
