In the context of the recent loss of another of Obama's treasury staff, I came across and read this article.  It is worth the long read (and the bad words, I'm really sorry about that):

The Bush/Obama plan for dealing with our economy is more than disgusting!   True government reform is the only answer but that will only happen if the truth about the situation is completely exposed and understood. This is happening slowly I believe but we really need to take a personal stand.   As long we stand for these bailouts, we are owned.  Or perhaps it is  more accurate to say our government is owned by the banks they are bailing out and we, the tax payers, are being fed to the fat cats.  The article above explains this very well.
 
Believe me, this vote about to happen in congress regarding Obama's so called "budget" is going to fuel the problem.  If not, you would not see such secrecy in FED regarding where our bailout money is going.  You would see assurances from Obama regarding the situation and real solutions and not more "bankers bailing out bankers".   Instead we are hearing that this next budget proposal is required to address our failing economy.   If that is true - and why wouldn't be true - this announcement should scare the heck out of you.  If you have taken the time to read the article above - it should really scare the heck out of you.   It does me.

This is a turning point in our country's history for many reasons.  Please stand on the side of the people who want our country back under law, not under government, with freedoms to believe what we wish and even not to believe if we wish. The government is passing laws to increase the power of government and not to secure the freedom of American people.  If you have not yet awakened to this reality, now is the time.   We have to understand this and act as this administration is pushing into law more government power faster than any administration has seen.

Please understand that alternative proposals do NOT mean we will not help people in need, not improve education, not improve health care and not improve the environment.  There are other ways to do all of these things than are about to be proposed in Obama's plan.  You are being led to believe that there are no other ways and that the economc crisis dictate's Obama's actions.  And note the speed at which he is moving.  Listen carefully to Obama and listen to other proposals and THINK.  Stimulus has already been committed.   This budget is not about stimulus any more and is not about failures of Bush any more.  Do you really want to be treated this way?  Do you really want to hand over power for our education, health care and environment to the same government that has chosen to "roll its eyes" at you?   Please read the ariticle to which I refer above. 

America is a great country for special reasons that are not celebrated enough and we have taken our freedoms for granted.   Our freedoms are not granted, but rather voted upon.  We control the direction of our country - not the government, but government has convinced us otherwise.  Please help take back your country.
