Government Intervention to Save U.S. Economy

           Hello Karl Marx, my name is George Bush and I need your help to save the economy. I was a friend of Adam Smith and his laissez faire/ invisible hand, free market theory, but it has allowed greed to run rampant , and the " free riders " have mismanaged and destroyed the market place.

       I have decided that the only way to save what remains and to restore confidence, is to adopt some of your theories, specifically, government takeover and the nationalising of A.I.G. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac , and other banks, investment houses, insurance companies and mortgage companies. In other words , this massive Government intervention ( not seen since the 30's ), is the only means available for me. I admit that I do not know ,( like my buddy John M cCain ), much about economics. I have criticised you in the past, and I have , like Reagan and my father before me, denigrated Keynes, and the result has been a feeding frency of greed, from Enron to World Com. to Fannie and Freddie, as well as Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros  My country has been the bastion of Capitalism and free enterprise, but now my government has become the largest mortgage holder, and insurance company. It shames  me to say this, and I am embarassed to act in this way, but I have to accept that you were right to warn about the evils of unrestraint Capitalism..... and the greed that is its credo.  

        These last months have not been good for me. I cannot seem to catch a break. I am desperate and thus I embrace you............Your comrade- in arms George W. Bush.......you can call me Goergie!!!! and welcome to the United Socialist State of America.!!!!!
