THE NEW NEW DEAL

Fundamentals have all but ceased to matter now that politicians are pulling the economy's strings. From restricting trade, such as through the short-sale ban that was just extended, to outright seizure, as was the case with AIG, we are witnessing the biggest expansion in government power since the New Deal.

Power is precisely what the "bailout" bill, which cleared the Senate Wednesday night, is ultimately about. Uncle Sam wants even greater control over the economy, your money and your life.





And Just wait till YoMama gets in control.
