Take a look at these two headlines: Bush Defends American Capitalism Ahead of G-20 Summit Bush Warns Against `Too Much’ Government in Markets If by “American capitalism” he means nationalization of the financial industry and massive doses of redistribution and inflation, he is indeed defending that. But then he warns of too much government. I for one am glad that the outgoing despot has decided that there is, after all, a limit to government action. What a market-loving compassionate conservative!
