Just this afternoon I experienced a classic fundamental of economics: Consumption.
I had lunch at a pizza buffet. All the pizza and soda I could consume for the low low price of eight dollars American. of course I had to render to Caesar, so it REALLY was about $8.50, but I digress.
At some point I pushed away from the table satisfied; I was fat dumb and happy. Full.

Often I get the feeling that something just ain’t right.
You Know What This IS
You see it, hear it and then someone even tells ya about it. And you’re just like….”um, yeah….nah. That, right there, is horseshit.”
And ya call ’em on it.
And ya got nothin’ right? ‘Cause really, the only thing ya got is your gut.
Well, now, we got somethin’ for ya….

Ugh. Ugly.
With very few exceptions, the racism our in the early stages of our nation have been our worst example of Liberty. It’s horrible and without defense.
But are we reaching new lows?

I’m so very tired of the Left restricting Liberty wherever she shows her face. I’m further dismayed when the Right does it as well:
More and more with this “financial-overhaul” business. 
The more Congress acts to “protect me” the more I feel exposed. We have seen some examples here and here of the damage Washington has done to me even as they work to protect me. As they change the rules on the banks, making it harder for them to adjust to changing realities, those costs are simply passed on to everyone. I see my costs go up.
I’m afraid they did it again….
I, for one, am happy that BP put aside $20 billion into an escrow account. I’m afraid that they’ll file for bankruptcy and we’ll lose any ability to get them to pay for anything.
Michelle Bachmann isn’t so happy with that turn of events:
The president just called for creating a fund that would be administered by outsiders, which would be more of a redistribution-of-wealth fund.

And the hits just keep comin’.
When Congress passed the Consumer Bill of Right’s Measure everyone thought it was just the greatest idea EVER.
I didn’t so. When given the choice of who should protect my money; me or the government, I chose me. Every time. Me.
Well, guess what happens when the government takes care of me? They don’t.

Just another in a long line of laws that are making things more expensive than they need to be.
Just as America is trying to turn the corner and get back on our feet, the Feds have issued another decree that’s gonna make it harder to make it.

Leftists. Gotta love ’em.
Take the question of having to identify yourself to the government.
On one hand they say it’s a matter of individual privacy. On the other, they say it’s their right.
There are a number of things wrong with Unions. 
They reduce jobs. They price out the under skilled of a job. They make products more expensive. They force restrictive trade agreements. Really, there’s no end to the nastiness they elicit.
But the story of the retired Marine being forced to join a Union is a perfect example to illustrate just how ugly I think they are.
