NO, there's not slippery slope.  Crap, that doesn't exist.

Not only are we too stupid to know that if you don't want to be around smoke, not to go around it. So the gov't is taking care of us…

We find out that we're too stupid to know that if we eat crap, we'll get fat.  So the Gov't has to take care of us.

Now, we're too stupid to know what to do with a raise from our job, or with our tax refund.  So, the gov't is going to take care of us.

Hell, soon we won't have to even think for ourselves.

The US voted for change, we're getting it…

This administration could have gotten out of this mess, but they keep spending and making it worse. 

Why didn't Obama give out the loans with a 2% interest rate and get the return on the money?  No, they give it to the banks, the banks get a 5% return and the Govt gets money back at an even rate.  There wouldn't need to be a second stimulus pack because the first one didn't work.  There wouldn't need to be a raise in taxes.  The gov't would be getting that money back, not the banks, and we would be doing a lot better.

Hell, that's too easy.  But then, Obama wouldn't be able to scratch the backs of the people he likes if we did what makes sense.

I'm getting really scared people…and it's all in the name of Change.

1. Even if we were to suspend logic and subscribe to the slippery slope theory, this doesn't fit.  Regulation protecting public health is in no way causation for control people's finances.

2. This article is bullshit.  Absolutely no references.  The Consumer Finance Protection Agency (being pushed by Barney Frank…a damn-near Libertarian) is proposed to regulate borrowing agencies so they don't rip of consumers with fine print and outrageous interest rates.  It's very broad in the powers it gives the government to regulate banks, but I have yet to see anything giving it control over the taxpayers' dollars.

Before you get scared about the sky falling, look up and see for yourself.

Of course if I had it my way, abolish the Fed and bring on the FairTax.

See, now that I agree with.  I think that the Fair Tax is the way to go. 

And it's easy to get scared.  When you see the government taking over everything else in our lives…you start to wonder what the truths are in these things that you read.

It's in the slope as once people get used to the government taking over one part of our life…it's easier for them to take over other parts because we've been desensitized.

Human complacency is a universe constant.  Any law that passes will be served in some way or another by complacency.  You cannot however just blindly link this to the concept of slippery slope.  Slippery slope requires a serious of factually definite steps, each correlating with the one before.  Such a correlation cannot be made with social behaviors.  It's that simple…social change eliminates to possibility of creating slippery slope correlations.  People do not follow mathematically inductive properties.

Complacency is one thing, but slippery slope is bullshit.

Ok, so is this real or not?

Usually I would jump and start researching it, but honestly, with work overload, packing and planning the wedding…I'm too lazy.

Please forgive the ignorance this time. lol
