Well, Neal...<br> <br> You are wrong from the start. Rahm Emanuel is NOT the first person ever to Rahm Emanuel is NOT the first person ever to use the expression: "never let a good crisis go to waste."<br> <br> It has been used for years in business models as a productive way of looking at -- and dealing with -- difficult situations which arise.<br> <br> And Geithner just spelled it out when he said: "We have a moment of opportunity here, and we don't want to waste this opportunity."<br> <br> BTW, G.W. Bush & Co may never have verbalized the concept " 'you never let a good crisis go to waste' " <br> <br> ...BUT they sure used the Hell out of the crisis of 9/11 to try to dismantle the Constitution and destroy the American way of life for all US citizens but the wealthy top 2%. <br> <br> You ask about Geithner: "What was he talking about?"<br> <br> The financial mess the Bush administration got us into IS the crisis and despite the incessant attempts by the Republican Right-Wingers to stop President Obama and his administrations hard work and endeavors to correct the problem, they are sticking to it.<br> <br> Re: "Regulation. Getting the government more and more involved in regulating the private sector." <br> <br> The problem with the Bush and Republican Administrations -- AFTER Ike's Presidency -- is getting too much of the wealthy private sector into government. <br> <br> In fact, they pretty much own our government, but the Obama administration is working to reverse that.<br> <br> And if they need to nationalize some entities on the way to fixing the problem -- well those wealthy private sector owners and managers owned and managed this system into the mess it's in now -- and why should the average citizen pay for their mistakes.<br> <br> They had everything, they mangled what they had with their wanton disregard for decency and principle and with their hedonistic greed and now want all of us to pay for their excesses and losses?<br> <br> I don't think so.<br> <br> That's an inaccurate definition of fascism. But I it would take several more pages for me to put in the correct definition with explanations.<br> <br> But you could do a Google search for definitions of fascism.
