Yet another example of Government’s well-intentioned control of our lives turning into a dismal failure; the private citizen is a much better guarantor of his well being than some busy-body bureaucrat 100’s of miles away. It makes absolutely no sense to me why someone would advocate that these sorts of duties are better left in the hands of government. Not to mention that in our form of government, and according to the law of the land, this is an absolute violation of the law.What will unfortunately happen here is that the elite mind’s of congress (by the way what exactly qualifies them as experts in finance? Oh yes, they won a popularity contest) will determine that a government entities’ failure is the fault of the free market and that their needs to be more control and oversight by them. I should be so lucky as to gain employment that enshrines in me the wisdom to determine that my failures were actually the fault of my competition. We should throw all of our mortgages in the Boston Bay!!!

"The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."
