The United States is not the free enterprise nation that so many people believe in. We have a nation that wants free enterprise but feels the need to mother its people and its businesses. Families have multiple generations that continue to live on welfare and corporations rely on federal subsidies. Let’s be honest. Those subsidies are the same as welfare.
The worst of those companies are the big banks. The United States government saved them from collapse. If those banks should find themselves in desperate condition again they will be saved again.
Our help for General Motors knows no bounds. Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama provided aid to that company. Amtrack is our determined decision to ensure that we have rail transportation. Subsidies for agriculture are our decision that farming is part of our heritage and must be protected.
Where will this lead? Probably to more government subsidies and more help for the least fortunate and companies that are in our national interest to sustain.
