did anyone see that CATO guy on msnbc a while ago?

[ejpoeta]

he was trying to say what obama is trying to do is what hoover did. then he went on about how tax cuts are the only way to turn things around. the signal was lost (thank god) but I almost hurled something at the TV!! wtf! Hoover was the guy that didn't do anything. he decided it was time to balance the budget. sounds like what the republicans are doing, not OBAMA!!

1. Ah, Hoover was the guy that sent Eisenhower and McArthur to

ride down on the WWI vets who were seeking their bonus early in order to feed their families. Yeah, Hoover did something.

3. Eisenhower took part in that too???

Damn. I knew MacArthur had betrayed his own by attacking the bonus army but I didn't know that about Ike. Damn.

Smedley Butler, if I recall correctly, refused.

5. Don't forget Patton, he was there as well.

Check out the book "Bonus Army", excellent read.

There were plenty of asshole all around that took a giant dump on our vets.

6. he's an idiot

Let me guess, in his world, tax cuts for the rich create good jobs for the middle class? Yeah, that's worked out real well over the last 28 years since Reagan started it. :eyes:
