And who is it, precisely, who's arguing for central planning? Where is Secretary General Obama's latest Five Year Plan?

Honestly, you people astonish me. You say, without any evidence, that the other side is trying to take the country to one extreme and your solution is to push for the opposite extreme.

When you guys get your way this is what happens. Things start to come apart at the seams because the private sector is out of control. The country is facing a financial crisis so you demand a tax cut. When things get worse you say it's because the tax cut wasn't big enough so you demand another. Guess what happens next?

When businesses drive themselves into a ditch and the world economy faces imminent collapse you claim it's because of too much regulation. When deregulation is pushed through and things get worse you say it's because there's still too much regulation.

If it weren't so catastrophic it would be funny.
