The REAL Reason: POWER

The Obama Administration, by way of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, make it very clear that the current Demorat-controlled Washington is more concerned with acquiring power and control than it is with money -- though money is the means to that end: power.

How might one then logically deduce this? Investors Business Daily observes:

Bailouts: Didn't Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner say that it was not the administration's intent to control private companies? Then why is it reportedly reluctant to accept TARP repayments from some banks?

If it has indeed declined to accept $340 million in payments from banks in Louisiana, New York, Indiana and California, the administration is tacitly admitting that it wants to control those banks as well as others that will try to pay back the taxpayers' money they took in the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

By refusing repayment, the government can keep the leverage it bought with the bailouts. Banks that still "owe" would not be in position to reject the administration as a "partner."

If the money is offered in return by those banks and institutions who now finally "get" that the strings attached are indeed beyond onerous, and the government refuses to "accept" said cash, that yields only one conclusion: yes, the bailout is about money but, fundamentally, it is about control the government ultimately wants to acquire over any and every portion of the private sector -- and utilizing the umbrage and disenchantment of the public to help accomplish those goals.

As I indicated earlier, the crystal-clear goal of the Obama Administration, the Leftists, Socialists, Demorats and Religious Left is ultimately the utter and complete Social Re-Engineering of this country. Hearken back to Mr Obama's original campaign words:

Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America."

Not re-invigorate the nation; not re-ignite the economy; not re-employ thousands of Americans; no. To entirely remake the face and foundation of this nation. And to me that includes, tacitly, the abrogation or ignorance of the US Constitution. All of these things and more are currently in progress at an unprecedented rate with the complete condonation, at best apathy, of the bulk of this nation's lawful and unlawful residents.

I would end by a blazingly-salient quote from economist Thomas Sowell:

Socialists believe in government ownership of the means of production. Fascists believed in government control of privately owned businesses, which is much more the style of this government. That way, politicians can intervene whenever they feel like it and then, when their interventions turn out badly, summon executives from the private sector before Congress and denounce them on nationwide television."
