Jim DeMint: people and thi has pushed and pushed and intervened in the private market to the point working and we wonder why people aren't investing, why the markets are erratic because no one knows what the federal government will do when it starts playing in the stock in this country; once it starts arbitrarily converting loans

1:57:42 to 1:58:02( Edit History Discussion )

Jim DeMint: that were for a crisis, to own our banks. to own our private companies. and they took the tarp money and made loans to general motors. what are they going to do with that? they're going to convert it to common stock so this federal government owns general motors. that's not america.

1:58:03 to 1:58:14( Edit History Discussion )

Jim DeMint: that's not free markets. that's not free enterprise. that's not what we signed up for and we shouldn't allow this amendment, pretty government, you can't go any further.
