TBO,
Show me where the government has had accountability to voters. What was the ratio of people who didn't want the last bailout? Wasn't it 11 to 1. Where has government cared about what the voters want?
Furthermore, the way government comingles funds is crazy. California State Lottery was designed to help the failing schools, that's how it was sold to voters. It doesn't, our schools are in the crapper. Funds diverted. Cigarette taxes were sold as a way to help hospitals, because, you know, smokers will cause a strain on hospitals because of their poor health so we need to tax them. Funds diverted. Hospitals are closing. Now Arnold wants to tax veterinary care to cope with our budget crisis. Last year it was a proposed tax raise on soda and potato chips. All this while government in California has doubled in size in the past 10 years. Where do think that gov is some rational body of individuals? Maybe we have it worse here or something but, imagine the bureaucracy and waste that will come along with nationalization. I'd rather have 1 really greedy person at the very top than hundreds of incompetent bureaucracies throughout.
Honestly, nationalizing the banks = doom.
