If nothing else, Michael Sanchez is almost always relentless with other people’s money. "The longer she(Martinez) fails to recognize the need for an in-patient treatment facility, the longer it will take to win the battle against this killer," Sanchez declared.
Naturally, Michael Sanchez does not restrict his desire for bigger government to the problem with drug abusers. He has other new government programs in mind for New Mexico. Sanchez thinks Santa Fe can also change the nationwide housing market ills. Sanchez calls for a unilateral aborting of contracts between lenders and borrowers in New Mexico via a new statute.
And Sanchez was more than a bit miffed earlier in the year that so many members of the state’s House of Representatives felt that both parties to a good faith loan contract should continue to be required to uphold their part of agreements or abide by the contingencies built into those contracts. Apparently, Sanchez believes it will help the state’s future if we make laws that say a borrower be allowed to keep the money they get and the home they receive as a result of their borrowing transactions, while lenders are forced by the same law to navigate some sort of regulatory trap that allows the terms of lending agreements to change AFTER the borrower get his or her money.
There is a common thread running through the Michael Sanchez approach. He enjoys wielding power and control. This week’s communications from his office provided yet another remarkable way for voters to define the differences between the Senator Sanchez and Governor Susana Martinez. The differences in the approach of these two individuals are stark. Sanchez presses relentlessly to make government bigger. He trusts government and he has been comfortable with idea that we all give him control of a more controlling government. His ideas for more government resources being spent on drug abusers, borrowers, and lenders has become a career theme. His idea is to transfer the responsibilities for the bad decision-making made by drug users, lenders, and borrowers to taxpayers, who will foot the bill for additional government facilities and bureaucrats controlled by.......him.
Governor Martinez sees the ideas of Michael Sanchez for exactly what they are…… poorly structured thought-processes that will take this state farther and farther away from the path of prosperity and closer to bankruptcy.
In a state where registered Democrats crossed party lines in droves to vote for the ideas of Susana Martinez, it is time for Michael Sanchez to yield to the will of the people instead of doing everything in his power to accrue more power for those in Santa Fe who would micro-manage every detail of our existence……if we would only let them.
