It’s not the governments job nor their Constitutional mandate to protect the American people from every ill, every problem or every scoundrel. The poorly run businesses will fail and the scoundrels will end up in jail. It’s up to each individual to make choices in their own personal lives and financial lives good or bad, wise or stupid. We all have the freedom to fail and all have the freedom to succeed. We all have a chance at failing and all have a chance at succeeding. It’s not the governments job to pick winners and losers but apparently that is changing.

Do you know they are entertaining the idea of moving the USA to a global currency? Do you also know that Obama is seeking expanded powers to take over private business failing or not failing at his discretion? That alone should scare the hell out of everyone.

People better wise up to what’s going on or the USA will no longer be the USA. People came to the USA to escape tyranny. Where are we going to go?

The government didn't fail. The people running the government failed and the people who voted them in power failed. They also talk about that in the Federalist Papers.
