Heads Up!

I'd be interested in hearing about exactly what you think the so called "neocons" did to wreck the US economy. The war in Iraq was ill advised and increased debt but hardly wrecked the economy. The deregulation of Wall Street was already well along under the Clinton administration. Relaxation of mortgage lending standards began in the Clinton administration. What else? One way trade agreements that bled all productivity from the U.S., initiated by Clinton with the most favorite nation status, and NAFTA, originally promoted by Bush 1. The maniacs however all blame W because they want higher welfare checks and didn't think it might happen until the current jackass took office. It WON'T happen (lowest income rate goes up 50% on January 1, 2011) now either, but the mindless worship will continue. The key word is mindless. Well, wait a sec. You're a maniac and you don't blame W. |

There are no complicated concepts in Rand's books. The books are long-winded, but they're pretty straightforward. They're fiction, but the neocons used them as a blueprint for wrecking the US economy. They haven't given up. When the concepts implied in the writings were in place, the U.S. was growing exponentially, uneducated millions were making good wages and all were successful. Now (since the 70's) handouts from the productive minority (who are now gone) have taken priority, and the masses have to move back to concrete housing complexes. Productivity and profit are the goals (your wages are YOUR profit) but they're undermined by the slime you've elected. No more handouts due to bankruptcy, no more core industries, no more jobs. Handouts WHICH CAME FROM YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE cannot make you whole, and are making you broke. You're the slime in this conversation. |

American imperialism in the mid-east to the tune of 3 trillion, giveaways to the rich to the tune of 1 trillion. Rabid support of the push for least cost labor that's undermined the US economy and the entire middle class. Need more? |

It is classic disaster capitalism, and was openly stated by several in the previous administration, e.g., Paul Wolfowitz. Read Naomi Wolf's The Shock Doctrine and get back to us. You don't read enough, apparently. I have always tried to keep the wolves from the door, fairly successfully I might add. It seems strange to me that anyone advocating the destruction of the economy and the middle class wouldn't have gotten more publicity. Perhaps you are misinterpreting? |

I guess you never heard of the neocons who were running this country for the last couple of decades? Their stated plan is to bankrupt the federal government and make over the country based on their twisted notion of free market uber alles. http://www.slate.com/id/2231268/ |

She probably got it from Olbermann or Matthews.. They often start questions or interviews with lies like that, it's just what political activists do. -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - We race for cheese! You probably get your news from Beck/Palin. When is the former and the republican leadership going to stand up and say no to book burning? |

You were correct - he gets this kind of rant from the idiot box. This is what happens when you have no useful skills or education. |

Congress has long been an embarassment - it truly reflects the population. |
