Republicans on the Left and Democrats on the Right

In the topsy turvy world of Washington, to combat what is being called the “most momentous financial crisis since the Great Depression,” the Republicans have gone socialist and the Democrats are advocating the corporatism of Italian rightist dictator Benito Mussolini.

Fairly unique in U.S. history, the Bush administration has nationalized companies—insurance and mortgage guarantors—that have nothing to do with the war the country is fighting.

The leviathan is getting fat on empty calories. The growth of the beast cannot be sustained on a diet of fiat dollars. Nationalize is just another word for government theft. The government cannot be arrested for these crimes but, like the serpent which devours its own tail, it will run out of viable sustenance in the form of capital to plunder.
It's getting ugly out there.
