Punishing the responsible

WSJ reader Dorothy Myers:

"I made a mistake. I got a mortgage that didn't overextend me and probably bought the right piece of property so it's not going upside down. As a reward I get to pay for TARP I, TARP II, the stimulus plan, mortgage nationalizations, bank nationalizations, and the AIG nationalization. What all else Obama will think up to punish me?"

She's learning that "change you can believe in" refers to what is left in your pocket after the Obama vision of government gets done with you.
