I even heard the President the other day say that we cannot sustain this deficit spending.

The Obama administration's decision to embrace the Bush legacy on the state secrets doctrine has all the elements of hypocrisy.

This has not changed. This is definitely more of the same.

If the Fed will not monetize the debt and if the Congress refuses to deal with the spending curve, which will average about 23 percent of GDP for the next 10 years, that is either going to leave us with a massive tax increase or massive borrowing.

I have talked to my friend, Dan Lungren, who was here at the time. He said we were told if you don't pass these tougher sentences on crack cocaine, then it is a racist move.

But to use again the words that Mr. Nader used, when do you believe we crossed the line?

Do You Want a Car Built by Bureaucrats?

I don't think you can ever have free trade with a country that is a dictatorship, because a dictatorship dictates costs, it dictates wage levels and no unions and dictates pollution at will, it dictates bribery.

When an unelected little task force, operating in secret a few days ago can tell Chrysler to terminate 780 dealers, averaging 60 jobs per dealer, that is 45,000 jobs, against Chrysler's will, because it doesn't cost anything for Chrysler to have dealers and they sell more cars, and it is more convenient to motorists, especially in poorer areas an rural areas.

There are clear precedents for this branch enacting very complicated statutes and taking the accountability that the Constitution anticipates.

When a company in 2008 can sell 8.1 million cars, 3 million in this country, over 1 million in China, the rest around the world and be considered a basket case unworthy of detailed congressional examination and policy making, along with the rest of the industry, we are entitled to ask a lot of questions.
