Evil Opportunity Destroyer

America is suffering with the boot of government across the throat of job creators. Markets have always found their equilibrium when they are permitted to work without the interference of social engineers and central planners. But the Obama administration and more broadly the Democrat elite are determined to put their noses in where they can only cause great damage and intensify rather than repair our economic dislocation. Did "feel-good" programs to put virtually everyone into a home of their own regardless of credit worthiness really improve anything? Was "redlining" a commonplace offense or something politicians and interest groups hyped to get the ball rolling for America's financial ruin? Is giving a business a tax credit of a couple of thousand dollars a sufficient incentive to help an employer decide to create a job or is it only an insult when the new position with wage (salary), training, and benefits is going to cost him fifty thousand or more dollars? All the Federal manipulation of the markets is going to be doing along with the out of control spending and printing of currency and borrowing to pay for it, is going to be to assure that any recovery is shallow while our problems only deepen.
