You can't raise a bottle baby when there are so many boobs around?

The act of a mother feeding her baby in a natural way is a beautiful thing. Ok ok, we men are pigs and look only for the opportunity to see an errant nipple! But yes, it is a natural and healthy activity that, according to experts, is beneficial for the child.

There comes a time in every rearing where the baby needs to be weaned. Unfortunately some babies refuse to give up the teat and cry and cry and cry when denied.

The mother needs to just say:

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it! It is time for you to go out on your own and make your own way.

It is unnatural for the baby, after years of self-sufficiency to return to the mom and demands access to the teat in some Oedipus-like need for support.

Right now our government is exposing itself to new sucklers faster than Selma Hayek to a newborn baby.

The more the United States nurses its citizenry and businesses, the more will want access to the nipple of public funds. Just like a woman can produce a finite amount of milk, so too our country can only maintain a finite amount of spending. Our treasury is printing money at an unprecedented rate. We can not continue to do this. A mother can not protect her child from self-destruction. Nor can a government say an industry is too big to fail. We must let them.

Oedipus was a freak. Then again, the government is NOT our mother. The “mother’s” are those in Congress who insist on taking us down the road to socialism and government ownership/involvement in the private sector. Capitalism will work (an idea I will expand on in a soon to come post) if we can keep the boobs in charge firmly held in the bra of limited government and political restraint. When the baby cries, it takes a strong parent to ignore it. We don't have a strong parent in our current crop of elected officials. Their ability to lead or understand capitalism is about as natural as Pamela Anderson's most famous attributes. Call your congressman, call your senator, call Hanes, we need to make our government aware that we demand the weaning of society.
