You know things are bad when Putin starts warning about the dangers of socialism.
Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.
“In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”
Sounding more like Barry Goldwater than the former head of the KGB, Putin said, “Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.”
The world has turned upside down!

Good Lord! Can you hear that? It’s the theme from Twilight Zone! Or maybe it’s X-Files!

Straight out of the mouth of somebody who has “been there, done that” and our vaunted leaders can’t grasp the truth of it. Because? Because they’re smarter than any governing body that has ever existed, and THEY are going to make it work this time. Blind leaders of the blind.
Hear that rumbling way of in the distance? That’s these sorry suckers egos swelling and stretching because they’re so damned smart. Or, is it the beginnings of the collapse of a Constitutional Republic? Maybe, it’s the sound of an alarm clock buried deep beneath a pillow of lies and deceit!!
