Wow!! Look at what we have here! President Bush has once again found capitalism! Man, I wonder what took him so long to begin looking for it. Why didn't he look for it when his boys at the oil companies and their cronies at the hedge funds were bilking the American consumer of hundreds of billions of dollars through their collective manipulation of gas prices? Surely, they didn't use supply and demand to justify the rates that made American consumers pay American-record gas prices for over 7 years and therefore give them world-record profits.
Since Paulson just arranged to give his friends at the other financial companies more than $700 billion of taxpayer dollars, why didn't anyone mention capitalism then? Surely that move was closer to Chinese communism than American capitalism.
Now that others outside of his little clique are in line to benefit, he pulls out his maginifying glass and starts looking for capitalistic priniciples in the haystack that is the U.S. economy. Hopefully, he'll find our Constitution under there as well.
