Conservative thoughts on Corporate Welfare (House of the Rising Sons blog)

I just returned from an industry think tank involving investment professionals, most of whom, like me, are staunchly conservative when it comes to all matters concerning the U.S. Economy.

Everyone agrees that we are headed for some rough times, but surprisingly enough this group of 90% Republicans didn't have the time nor the inclination to blame everything on Democrats and Liberal policies. Unless you want to include President Bush's hardcore 'Liberal' spending.... These are wealthy business men, who don't have time to lay blame on appartions or misnomers. They call a spade - a spade. And so they agreed on our country going to hell in a handbasket, economically, as we speak.

The facts that we have to face- beyond all of either side's emotional hand wringing and red in the face yelling- are:

*snipping list of facts*

"We need to get out of these places we don't need to be!"
"We need a more conservative fuel and energy plan!"
"We need to bring our Dollars home!"

Yes. Conservatism. It COULD work. The only problem is that the ones who have been championing those three ideals for the past eight years have been Democrats and Liberals. Go figure, right? It's time to roll up our sleeves and rip the labels off of our shirts. Blue collar, white collar- We will all be affected for the worst if we don't agree on those three ideals, NO MATTER WHO THOUGHT OF THEM "FIRST" and get to work on implementing them in our Country.

The listing of items almost exactly mirrors what I (and many others up here) have been saying for many months.

It seems the corporate wonks are waking up to the fact that they and their boy emperor are responsible for the shitstorm they've turned America into. Now, will they actually get up and do something about it or just hit the Snooze button?

5. Some "conservatives" are beginning to realize...

.. that the golden goose is struggling for air. Once it dies, it won't be just poor and middle class people who will suffer, EVERYONE will suffer.

No sane corporatist would cheer the demise of the middle class, that is their bread and butter.

6. WTF did you expect from these weasels now in control

of our government?

7. I'm so glad these "are wealthy business men, who don't have time to ...

...who don't have time to lay blame on appartions or misnomers. They call a spade - a spade."

So where have these oh-so-busy straight-shooters been for the last six years? or the last thirty, for that matter?

:shrug:

Well, let them pat themselves on the back, just as long as they come around to the bloody obvious.

8. Reminds me of the PNACers distancing themselves from the debacle

But...but....but....that's not how we really wanted it to work....
