Heckuva’ Job, Fannie

Monday, March 30th, 2009

When government entities fail, they get more money and more responsibility. At least when corporations fail, they go out of business.

Oh, wait. Forgot for a sec that the government’s giving them more money too.

Which means’ we’ve reached the point where even jaded libertarian cliches present an inaccurately optimistic picture of what’s going on.

    You mean there is a difference between government entities and corporations? I couldn’t quite tell over the last 29 years.

    Admittedly, the line is blurry, but big corporations screw you with government support.

    The government screws you with support from big corporations.

    Just clarifying the point.

    It’s the Peter Principle in action again. Corporations are also encouraged to rise to the level of their incompetence.

    Thanks for clearing that up Aresen. Only one point left for me to grapple with: should I get a job at a company, get ludicrous bonuses and use that money to run for office: or should I run for office, quit after a few terms and get a cushy gig in a company?

    It is enough to make you think the battle for America is over.

    Yeah, I’ve been believing I lost for awhile now. Thanks for all the fish.
