Bread, Healthcare & Mortgages

I read quickly through a Wall Street Journal article yesterday which divulged the results of a recent poll of Americans regarding Wonderboy's recent actions.

Sadly, Americans seem scared, and ready to allow their government to take more of their freedom, in exchange for security.

This doesn't seem to be the America in which I was raised. I'm having trouble believing this is really happening.

The one silver lining was that, while those polled liked the First Rookie, not even a majority agree or feel comfortable with the socialist direction in which he is explicitly taking the country.

But you have to worry that the corrosive effects of subsidized mortgages for the profligate, extended child healthcare for families far above median incomes, and huge spending programs using borrowed money, will put America on a tax-and-spend path for at least a decade.

Unless, of course, the Republicans can retake one House in 2010 and stop this dead in its tracks.
