There’s nothing “Fair” about the Fairness Doctrine
The first casualty of the new 111th Congress could be both free speech and the free market. After years of being dormant, many democrats in Congress are hinting that they will seek to re-institute the “Fairness Doctrine,” a doctrine that requires US broadcasters present in equal time on controversial issues. If enacted, the doctrine will undoubtedly be targeted almost exclusively at “conservative talk radio,” and the consequences will be millions of dollars in lost revenues for radio stations across the country, especially AM radio stations, an undoubtedly a blow for free speech in ensuring that the “marketplace of ideas” remains open.
PETA: Ben and Jerry’s new flavor - Wacky Taffy Titty?

We’re taking the taxpayers money and correcting an error we should have corrected over five years ago - making the markets more transparent and ensuring that people who benefit from risky deals also assume the downside to those deals when they go bad.

Price tag for Government led Wall Street Bailout… $1.3 trillion… saving the US Economy from collapse… Priceless
As a conservative - I’m willing to pay the 1.3T dollars to save the US economy… just like I was willing to spend over a trillion dollars fighting for freedom in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in the Global War on Terrorism. This threat to the United States needed to be dealt with and in a logical way… because stability in the US markets is priceless.
