So Frustrating

Risk for thee but not for me
from David Harsanyi in the Denver Post via Instapundit

A good column re the Mac/Mae (Bear Stearns, airline industry, et al) mess. It's stuff like this that makes me reconsider voting at all, for anyone. Massive corporate bailouts and nationalization are a problem that pretty much everyone in Washington has a part in, save for a few brave souls, and sometimes it seems as if the only way to fix the problem (if it is still fixable) is to allow the GOP to lose so badly that they'll be forced as a whole to opt for a new generation of lawmakers, people who understand that the country doesn't benefit, and doesn't want or need these taxpayer bailouts, that in the long run they will destroy our economy and our way of life.

Maybe someone like Sarah Palin understands this, maybe she's the beginning of a conservative economic revolution, maybe people like her, and Bobby Jindal, and Jeff Flake, maybe they will be the forefathers of an economic revolution. But somehow I doubt it.
