Day Of Reckoning

In the article "A Financial Day of Reckoning for America" Oct. 6 by Patrick Buchanan it stated: "In a democracy it is said, you get the kind of government you deserve." But what did the American people do to deserve this?

If you were one of the more than 40 percent of the citizens who receive government largess, who would you vote for? A: A liberal who promises more and bigger largess or B: A conservative who promises to wean you off the largess?

An untrained mind is a dangerous thing to use. How many who want more government welfare and subsidies know what the latent effects of those government programs are or don't they really care?

The same liberal groups that promoted more and more unconstitutional government largess also supported the misguided compassion of putting unqualified buyers into overpriced houses.

The financial snowball is halfway down the hill and getting bigger and bigger. The only thing to stop the snowball is the courts. However, can we trust a court that has already taken away our property rights?
