Corporate greed on the prowl

Sun., Feb. 22, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

In regard to the economic stimulus package, I suggest most of this money will find its way to corporate profit; the same thing happened to the last stimulus expenditure.

Unemployment is much higher now than it was then, but prices keep going up. This is all contrary to the generally accepted beliefs in supply and demand.

The question is, can rapacious corporate greed cause the collapse of a free republic? Maybe that is something everyone should think about.
