Contradiction in Terms

"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system," President Bush told CNN, defending his offer of $17 billion in loans to the Big Three "to make sure the economy doesn't collapse." How does loaning a few billion to the auto unions keep the economy from collapsing? Apparently, he’s “swallowed” the socialist scam that free markets don’t work. The way the Democrats have been “messing with” them, it’s surprising ANYTHING has worked. Now they’ve got what they think is a “mandate” to manipulate the free market some more in the Obama administration. I got news for him. It ain’t agonna work! (IBD Editorials)
