The Headlines Read "Nationalization"

WASHINGTON -- Congress and the White House inched toward a financial rescue of the Big Three auto makers, negotiating legislation that would give the U.S. government a substantial ownership stake in the industry and a central role in its restructuring.

This was predictable and yet I am still speechless.

Corporatism = Socialism (according to AnarchoCatholic)

perhaps more accurately

Corporatism + Socialism + Nationalism = Fascism (for clarity if I wrote that today I would replace "nationalism" with "statism", I believe misplaced nationalism is bad but statism sums up what I meant better)

Here is a wonderful term "Post–Constitutional America” or as Sorbran put it a condition in which the "U.S. Constitution poses no serious threat to our form of government". (read the article)

Nationalization of significant portions of an entire industry must have been on one of the missing pages of my copy of the Constitution.
