Reality check.
"It must be said that, like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless, sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people."
Pravda (what a ****cheroo, pravda is now printing the truth)
Consider:
The financial "reform" bill, which has passed the Senate Banking Committee and has President Obama's backing, creates a new bureaucracy with power to subpoena any and all data from any financial company erasing, in essence, the boundary between public and private in our economy. (no doubt the fed is exempted)
The IRS, soon to be strengthened by $10 billion in new funding and 17,000 new agents, promises to take fines under ObamaCare out of your tax return, as it also launches a new worldwide program to go after what it calls "high wealth individuals."
U.S. government debt, swollen by a record $45 trillion surge in spending over the next decade, will hit 63% of GDP this year what economists consider a danger level and is on its way to an economy-killing 90% of GDP by 2020.
And that's just the news from the past couple of weeks.
All this, of course, is in addition to
the just-passed $2.3 trillion health care takeover, which gives the government unprecedented powers over our most intimate health care decisions;
the $700 billion TARP program, which has turned into a Democrat-run slush fund;
the $862 billion in phony "stimulus" and
the government's forced buyout of 61% of General Motors and 18% of Chrysler (with the Canadian government taking another 11%).
Well you might be right Mn if you consider Harvard and Princeton private businesses which is technically true then there are all those special interest groups that are also technically private businesses.
