Greece: "Fascism is the extreme perversion of liberalism"

4. I would agree with the OP to an extent.

In the US we have our bank bailouts. This occurred under the auspices of a Democrat controlled congress and WH. Yes, Bush started it but our party went along for the ride and has done nothing of practical worth to end it or hold the crooks accountable. Worse, they told us we had to do SOMETHING so we had to do this thing!

Now we have a situation where not only has our government stolen our money to bailout people who lost even more of our money. This is a travesty now reaching into the TRILLIONS of dollars. Those corporations are now free from prosecution. They are free to do it again. They are free to take all that money and buy their agenda. The politicians that perpetrated this travesty are effectively co-conspirators who are hide-bound to see the scheme through to a successful conclusion. Nevermind the fact it cannot work according to the theories of any economic model, they will continue their error out of fear of the truth becoming manifest on their watch. In other words, our supposedly Democratic reps did what they thought was in our best interest (assuming they genuinely cared) but ended-up selling us down the river.

THAT is fascism.
