I just got this in an email. I remembered it after I read it but hadn't thought about it in a long time.

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country to a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze?

Something to think about, isn't it? When they can sell two things that are always in pretty high demand and can't even make any money doing that, why should anyone trust them to "fix" the economy? Not to mention that government policies are what caused the problems in the first place.

I think it would be much more accurate to say "How Big Business runs the Federal Government". Policies like NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, the repeal of Glass-Steagall, extreme deregulation and other boondoggles did not exactly originate in the halls of Congress. It got so extreme that as of now paid lobbyists hired by multinational corporations actually write legislation and then have their bought and paid for politicians pass the bills as written.

We've had thirty years now of "Government run like business", ever since day one of the "Reagan Revolution". Thank God the pendulum is finally swinging back to the idea of our government actually being run like... a government! You know, with citizens and stuff like that.

Well, when you consider that the Federal Reserve is probably the biggest--and certainly by far the most profitable buisness (because it is based on theft)--you may have a point.
