Time to start blogging again! Here's an article that should ruffle some feathers. Whether you're liberal or conservative, you have to admire the insight and skill with words of columnist George Will. He is well known for his conservative views, but conservatives, or at least Republicans, take a hit in this Washington Post article. Here's the link:

Questions to consider:
What evidence does George Will provide for socialist principles being practiced in the U.S.?
In your opinion, what is the appropriate role of government in the economy? Should we be bailing out companies at taxpayer expense? Why or why not?

Bonjour Mrs. Stotler!
I think that the taxes could go to better uses than bailing out big companies who shouldn't be going into debt anyway! We could use the money to improve roads, social work, anything like that, instead of helping the automobile companies from going under because foreign countries are doing better than we are. The people out of work would get compensation, I guess, but they could find another job if they tried hard enough or looked in the right places.

I think that the bailout money should of gone to the education and/or health system. We shouldn't ahve to pay the price for these companies mistakes. The money had somany other alternatives, except they gave ti to companies who din't even (entirely) use it as a bail out. We could've fixed a problem in our economy for 700 billion dollars. Instead were 700 billion dollarsin debt, while Ceo's are living it up with that money!
