I said several times here I didn't like it. Weren't you listening?

I didn't like it at all when Bush expanded the Medicare entitlement, either, although I pointed out that the Democrats would have done worse.

I didn't like it when Bush increased the Federal centralization of education, and said that, too. I don't like anything that consolidates more power to the Federal government and takes it away from states, localities, and individuals.

I don't like "big government" Republicans, of which there are way too many, and McCain looks a lot like one, too.

However, I don't see that electing a more committed socialist is any kind of an improvement in this area. Do you?

Just as an aside: Somehow I suspect that if a President Gore, Kerry, or Obama had come up with this bailout, he'd be being hailed as the modern incarnation of FDR.
