The right wing has been on a crusade to eliminate government, which they claim can't do anything right, and replace it with private enterprise. They scream socialism at the Democrats for passing health care, Social Security and Medicare. Now that BP is destroying the Gulf of Mexico with their unprecedented oil spill, they are demanding that the government take over the mess from BP, if not seize it's assets, that BP is incapable of solving the oil spill. So on one hand government can't do anything right, but when its a disaster, it's only government that can fix it.
They complain about government spending of tax dollars, yet they want tax dollars to clean up the Gulf instead of PB. An now they want the government to bail out BP should it become insolvent because of this disaster. Yet they scream at the bail out Obama did for General Motors, it was socialism to do so. GM has now paid back all the money loan to it and actually made a profit last quarter.
What is it that they really want? I'm confused...
