I must say!

I know a lot of people are not into the stock market as well as many people are also. Once thing that I must say is, I do not agree with the Government body being into our markets.

The Government owns the majority of General Motors. In my point of view, Government body should stay government. They are here to protect the shell of the country. When they start trying to be us and living like us is where I believe we start in on the corruption of within the Government. They move their focus from protection to making that dollar. They should let us worry about making that dollar and then worry about getting part of that dollar from us. I fear that could lower attention in other needed sectors.

Another thing that I keep thinking about, as it won't leave my mind, that is the Patriot Act. Below is some of the new law:


"The Act increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expands the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and broadens the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expands the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA PATRIOT Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.
The Act was passed by wide margins in both houses of Congress and was supported by members of both the Republican and Democratic parties. Opponents of the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants; searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional."

Is this really helping us or will it hurt us more? 
I guess big brother is really trying to move in!
