Reply #54: Keep wishing, but real economists are raising the warning flag and being ignored [View All]

[Grinchie]

Have you actually read the bill, or are you just cheerleading as a knee jerk reaction?

I haven't read it yet, but when I see idiots like Larry Summer claim that all of the Tarp money has been paid back with interest, like he did recently, and have to ask myself why the Economy is still in the shitter, or why they are desperately trying to extend unemployment benefits to 24 months instead of just admitting that the economy sucks, deal with it.

Nope, not in an election year, and the tired old gimmicks are being rolled out, right on queue to stupefy the masses into voting for their promised Virtual Pony yet again.

What a year!

1) Mandatory Health Insurance for all mandated by the state!
2) FinReg that who knows what in it -- time will tell
3) Climate? Disaster!
4) Fleet of new Nuclear Power Plants - Duh, Photovoltaic? Huh?
5) More Offshore Drilling!
6) No More Offshore Drilling!
7) Xe contract for 120 Million Dollars! -- Yay!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is all real, and your cheerleaders outfit is growing threadbare.
