Our Government's Economic Policies
I hate to say I told you so... but, please read my last post? In that post, just a couple months ago, I was saying what would happen IF a company like GM went bankrupt. Now, a company has... Chrysler. And GM is looking like they might go bankrupt, either that or they are going to follow a government plan to lay off tons of employees. How has the government intervention helped these companies? How has it helped capitalism? Not at all. Our country is currently at a turning point: Do we allow the government to take over private industries? They already have. The Obama admin is telling GM what to do. That is called socialism, folks. I might be pessimistic, but I see us heading into an era where we are going to fight about socialism vs capitalism. So many people are apparently in favor of the government controlling companies... I am just lost. Why should the government control what used to be private companies? We have had large corporations fail in the past.... it hurt in the short term, yes, but the great thing about capitalism is that it recovers quickly. Competition does wonderful things when large companies fail. Chrysler and GM would have failed a while ago without government intervention, and now they are -still- failing. How has the agenda that liberals are pushing helped them? Yes, as I have admitted in the past, Bush passed stuff that went towards helping them, but you can not use that as an excuse to defend Obama's policies... he is taking what Bush did and multiplying it. Why is taking a failed policy and multiplying it seen as a good thing?

Liberals hate to hear it, but Bush was an extremely liberal republican when it came to spending. Any time I say that I get people really angry at me for saying it, but it is true. We need a true conservative republican to take the lead... we have not had one since Reagan. The republican party has an awesome opportunity right now to reform and get focused on core ideals, and I look forward to it happening.

A quick after thought after reading my first blog post... I thought I was centrist. Obama's admin is still as sketchy as they were when I made that first post. Obama has really pushed me towards the conservative side, I think. I still agree on social issues with liberals... but the real things that are affecting us right now are economic issues.

Google and Intel have teamed with Sony to develop a platform called Google TV to bring the Web into the living room through a new generation of televisions and set-top boxes. The move is an effort by Google and Intel to extend their dominance of computing to television, an arena where they have little sway. For Sony, which has struggled to retain a pricing and technological advantage in the competitive TV hardware market, the partnership is an effort to get a leg up on competitors.The partners envision technology that will make it as easy for TV users to navigate Web applications, like the Twitter social network and the Picasa photo site, as it is to change the channel.Some existing televisions and set-top boxes offer access to Web content, but the choice of sites is limited. Google intends to open its TV platform, which is based on its Android operating system for smartphones, to software developers. The company hopes the move will spur the same outpouring of creativity that consumers have seen in applications for cellphones.
Google is expected to deliver a toolkit to outside programmers within the next couple of months, and products based on the software could appear as soon as this summer.

im like totally again republicans on socials issues but im like in the middle normally iwth eco stuff. i do think desperate times call for deperate measures so conservatives stop whinning and sounding this communis. soccialism, what ever ism youll think of next alarm. Its wont be like this for long. obama has said he doesnt want to own these companies. Hes wants to give them what they need to get back on track. as soon as were in better time he wont own so much of these companies. chill out repubs
I agree with you that the republican party has a GREAT chance to reform. What they are doing right now isn't working though they need to slide to a more moderate stance on social issues and come up with a plan to deal with rising concern on health care. I however don't believe economic conservative thinking will solve the economic crisis. Look at the great depression. It was solved by a democrat, Roosevelt , in part by making one of the most socialist moves in American history, the welfare program. Hoover a republican had his shot at the depression and everything he did had little to no effect on the depression.
