Conservatives LOVE to talk about getting the government out of the economy and "letting the market decide".
That is, until something goes wrong. As much as the GOP bitches about bailouts, it was a Republican president who pushed for them, and a lot of GOP backers used federal dough to prop up their mortgage houses and banks.
Right now, there is a move to increase a liability ceiling for companies that create environmental disasters. Oh great! The government will hold business accountable for their actions. No protections for the free market, right?
Is the GOP leading the charge on this? No. They are fighting tooth-and-nail against it.
Apparently, they DO want government protection for business. And literally, when dumb business moves land on our shores, they want the American taxpayer to pay for it.
