Fascism

I found this quote on a blog I frequent. I thought it was fitting considering the socialization of worthless paper that is about to cost US taxpayers $700 billion (and also hand over full control with no oversight of the cash to 1 individual). It's fair to note that there is no market for this paper, and therefore it has no value. Why this should cost the tax payers anything is beyond me...but then again, I never thought fascism made sense anyway:

"The Italian Charter of Labour says that private enterprise is responsible to the state . . . [but] it is the state, i.e., the taxpayer, who has become responsible to private enterprise . . . . Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social."

--Gaetano Salvemini, Under the Axe of Fascism(1936), p. 380. (Salvemini was a critic of Italian fascism under Mussolini).
