Reply #12: I'm simply pointing out that the positions you hold

[lapfog_1]

are those most closely identified with libertarians, not democrats. Sorry you seem to think that's a personal attack. It's OK to be libertarian... I don't understand it, but it's OK. Are you by any chance voting for Ron Paul for President? Because Barack Obama is supporting the current plan, even gave a short speech in favor of it in the Senate last night. Ron Paul is opposed to the bail out plan.

Just for the record, IMHO the current bill just got a lot worse than the one the House defeated the other day.

As for the stmts being "basic tenant of capitalism", I hardly think so. That would not be Keynesian economic theory... which is what I used to teach to college freshmen. Please don't lecture me on the subject.
