It sounded like you were saying that anything that came out of Garrett's interview with Bernanke is not worth considering because of Garrett's party affiliation, but that cannot be what you meant, since that would be judging a person based on their group, rather than on what the person actually says or does. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

Like I said, I'm no fan of Bernanke, but Garrett is even worse. I'm disgusted with the Democrats as well, but the tea baggers are REALLY out to lunch, breakfast and dinner!~) They love to rant about "Big Government" and can't wait to make America into a third world country and turn the clock back to economic slavery. Then they won't have to ship jobs overseas anymore. They want to eliminate taxes for the rich, keep America in a state of permanent war, and elect a bunch of screwballs to political office. I almost don't care if Palin is elected just to show how really dangerous these people are! ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

No, you should have seen it on C-Span. Bernanke was stumbling because he had no answers. He has "invested" $1.5T in taxpayer money in bad mortgages that are going to result in a huge loss of money unless the Treasury continues to bail them out after their previous bailout legislation expires in 2012. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

It seems that _they_ will have to bring back child labor, because the mature people don't want to work.

Back to the Plantation!~(was Down with the Government)
I'm no expert, but it almost seems as if both parties are in on it together and taking turns while the pendulum swings more and more to the right. I dunno if the entire financial system would have collapsed if there were no bailout, and I'm not saying that a depression was what the country needed, although it may yet happen. Nor am I saying the government should do nothing; they should help out the "small people". Those with more assets invested than was insured are better able to make up their losses. The government can bail out my losses, and down with AIG!~) As long as these corporations run things their way, it will be business as usual and they'll keep getting their bonuses, etc. Seriously: http://www.dollarsandsense.org/archives/2010/0310alperovitzdaly.html http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/world/asia/17japan.html and... http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/computers/technical_inheritance.htm Get me some of that electric Kool Aid! I agree with Dan about the Tea Baggers. Those fockers can't wait to return the country to laissez faire capitalism! No minimum wage, no employer paid pension plans, health insurance, etc. No public education, but a powerful military ain't socialism. It's there in the constitution, so that makes it okay to run up a deficit to pay for Bush's wars. Good way to keep the economy going til the bill comes due and you can turn the government over to that black guy... They way things are going those connoisseurs of Earl Grey may yet get their way and start massacring strikers again. Maybe even bring back child labor. What an even better world that would be for the elite!~{ Hey, I'm no fan of Bernanke, but that Congressman, Garrett, would not let the poor guy finish his answers! ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
