After decades of neoliberal "deregulation" and privatization, State intervention occupies again the center of the stage, starting from the unprecedented capital injections, interest rate cuts, bail outs and State intervention nationalizations in 2007-2008 in the US and Britain and then extended in one country after another all over the world. There is no a return to the post-war Keynesianism nor a revival of the Welfare State in the developed capitalist countries ; the State does not "expand" but destroys public services (hospitals, education, etc) by privatizing them and accumulates deficits and public debt to secure resources to bail out the bankers and other capitalists. In fact, there is a strengthening of the role of the capitalist State as the "savior of last resort" of capitalism in bankruptcy. The success of its regulatory intervention in the economy is more than doubtful. "The market may be bust but so is the state", wrote Philip Stephens in Financial Times (6/4/09). Capitalist nationalizations, "the negation of capitalism within the capitalist system itself", are an extreme action to rescue capital from bankruptcy. Within the framework of the actual social regime, nationalization puts the charge of the crisis on the shoulders of the working people through the increase of the public debt, unemployment, inflation etc. From the other side, it's an objective manifestation of the process of preparation and transition to the collective property of the producers under the control and management of the direct producers themselves. We love all this mess in the World! We are very happy!

Think about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. The only ones left behind were either stuck in a hospital, too sick to move or were Welfare recipients. They relied on their local and state governments to take care of them and look out for them -- as they'd been trained to do. Both the local and state governments failed them miserably. Is it good for people to rely on government to do for them what they should be doing for themselves? I think not! *later* Dear Hater, Jesus instructed us to help the orphan and the widow. His intent was to love one another. That also means that we are to hold one another accountable. What it does NOT mean, is that we should help the junky stick the needle in his arm. You come off as being angry and full of hatred. Perhaps you should study the word a little more closely. Understand too that Jesus was NOT a "Christian." He WAS however, Jewish!

Because, Jesus said to help people who are less fortunate and this is a Christian nation, do you hate Jesus or something you greedy Jew.
10 :
It's only good for the government. They obtain more and more power as the people become more dependent on them. Not only power but money as well.

Who's forcing you? That's what I thought
