"Free Markets" President

Aside from bringing the telecommunications industry into some kind of ironclad secret partnership with the National Security Administration and the Executive Branch (plus Dick Cheney's office, if you don't consider that part of the Executive branch), President Freemarkets wants to make the special government protections for the telecoms that own the media permanent protections.

As if that wasn't enough, the Commander in Chief of America for Sale wants to bail out mortgage banks, just like Ronald Reagan did to Savings and Loans. In a statement to reporters today, BushCo's spokesperson Ed Gillespie told reporters that the president wants Congress to do more to 'help make the market more stable.'

Sounds like "free trade" to me.
