The simple principal underlying Ford’s refusal to bail-out NYC is the same one that smart parents apply to their children.

Children that get everything for free remain children forever.

That pretty much explains liberalism in 9 words.

I was still too young to remember anything substantial about President Ford but from the things I’ve heard he seemed like a stand-up guy. I’m wishing the RNC could take notes from those days and nominate a true conservative the next time around like a Ford or Reagan.

I love the stick-it attitude from those guys back then and man, it’s hard to believe that Gergan wrote that speech, I always assumed he was a Commie Pinko!

“Stocks Skid……..Dow Down 12″
Ahhhh…..those were the heady days, were they not? Man… I miss President Ford. He wasn’t afraid to tell you where and how far to shove it!!!!

Good points, PB. But more important than even winning elections or being viewed as correct by history, Ford did actually save New York City from itself.

Despite itself — and of course our media.

Gerald Ford was right in his position concerning the requested bailout by New York City; and the larger lesson is to stand on principle, whether it be to oppose bailouts or to support our troops in war to victory. When you do right, you may not win the next election, but you will have served the country and in time you will be recognized for having been right.
