Who says the country has been ruined? That may happen yet because of
your free spending, money printing partners in the executive branch
but meanwhile free enterprise seems to be alive and well. Free
enterprise is what made this country great in the first place and it
will ultimately be free enterprise that bails us out of our current
slump.

"Free enterprise" as it has devolved since the Reaqan Administration has
no interest in rebuilding the middle class and without a middle class
this country has no future. How is "free enterprise" going to bail us
out, Wayne? By getting rid of the minimum wage, worker safety
regulations, environmental regulations, medicare? And then what? Serfdom
for all but the super rich? That sort of economy and country deserve to
go down the drain.

Can we infer that you'd prefer an economy of unionized, make work,
government employees who make a living by taxing each other? Without
free enterprise you'd have no incentive for innovation or efficiency.
The former Soviet Union found that out the hard way.
