Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

December 17, 2008

After the Senate blocked a measure intended to bail out the Big Three automakers, Michigan Governor Janet Granholm denounced the vote as ?un-American.

"It is unacceptable for this un-American, frankly, behavior of these U.S. senators to cause this country to go from a recession into a depression," she ranted. Referring to the bailout of Wall Street financial institutions, Granholm continued: ?You give this big bailout to these financial institutions?don?t ask a single question, they can do what they want?and then you lay the blame [on] the auto industry, which is a victim of this financial meltdown, on the backs of the people who are working on the line.?

Congress's sin was not to deny Detroit a bailout, but rather to appropriate taxpayer money to bail out anybody.

Although it is disgustingly common, redistribution of wealth is constitutionally impermissible, morally reprehensible, and patently un-American.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free
