Remove Foot, Close Mouth, Praise the Free Market

For some reason, the federal government has been all about the free market this week. Even our very own lame duck, George W. Bush, had some inspiring words about economic freedom today. El Presidente spoke in front of The Manhattan Institute of New York — a free-market economic think tank. (Gee, that sounds familiar.)

Some highlights of the speech include Bush praising the free market as the best approach to promote business, and stating that smarter government — not larger government — is beneficial. Truly words to live by, as ironic as they may be coming from Dubya’s mouth. Say what you will, but the man has been the greatest cheerleader the free market has had of late.

Anyway, check out the article (link via Drudge) before getting into any yo momma battles in the comments section. There was once a time when I would not have had to give this stipulation.
