I'm starting to seriously wonder about the electoral decisions made by the people of South Carolina. You see, to Gov. Mark Sanford, the systematic collapse of the American economy isn't a bad thing; it is a fair and just outcome. It is the "free market" working as intended.
Republicans love to talk about their ideals, as most ideologues do, but ideals pale in comparison to people. The simple fact of the matter is this: the people who will be hurt the most by the struggling economy did not play any role in the creation of the mess. As for the people who causes the mess, even if we shut down every corporation whose executives made bad decisions which contributed to this crisis, they would not be living in poor houses, only the worker bees at the bottom of the scale will.
This "it's not the government's place" stuff is a load of crap. People are suffering. It is a moral imperative that we take every step we can, not just to alleviate the suffering, but to restore our economy to the prosperous state that the American people deserve.
