		<description><![CDATA[I was ROFL, as they say or rather tweet/text, when I read the part where senators recommended replacing Google search formulas with a &#8220;panel of experts.&#8221; I mean, if that doesn&#8217;t sum up everything that is wrong with the government I don&#8217;t know what does. Has any government panel of experts ever solved anything? (Example, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WSJ: After Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as part of Dodd-Frank, President Obama said the government would prevent &#8220;hidden penalties and fees&#8221; and ensure &#8220;clear and concise information.&#8221; He promised banks that &#8220;unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you&#8217;ve got nothing to fear from reform.&#8221; Flash forward [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paraphrasing President Obama, one job of the U.S. Treasury Department&#8217;s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is to determine if a business is making &#8216;too much profit.&#8217; Mr. Obama is correct in his assessment that nobody is entitled to &#8220;a certain amount of profit,&#8221; but where he runs frighteningly amok is taking that assessment to mean that government [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a great commentary from Jonah Goldberg about the fallacy-laden arguments that occur over time when the government gets its nose into something it never should have and then people attempt to disconnect that market intrusion many years later. In his 1973 Libertarian Manifesto, the late Murray Rothbard argued that the biggest obstacle in the road [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the former CEO of American Express, Harvey Golub, expressing a less than complimentary opinion on the business savvy of the Obama Democrats: Meanwhile, [President Obama] he&#8217;s ignored entitlement reform, retarded the development of our energy resources, and added new layers to our regulatory burden. He&#8217;s also increased the uncertainty inherent in an already dysfunctional [...]]]></description>

Ah, but that indeed is the point, and exemplifies everything that is wrong with liberal government &#8212; all things are executed using the basis of immeasurable metrics.
