The Bush Administration was harshly criticized by the left for broadly expanding the powers of federal government to protect the American people from the immediate threat of global terrorism.
Now, the Obama administration is seeking a broad expansion of federal powers to seize non-bank financial firms to protect the American people from the immediate threat of grave danger to our personal fortunes.
What’s the difference? The former was intended to ensure foreigners who had ill intentions towards our nation were restricted in their freedom to continue their mission. The latter is one more step towards government control of our lives.
