his answer bother me. We need government intervention to save capitalism is what he is saying
Yes, I agree. He had to violate the founding precepts of our republic in order to be able to restore them later.
I trust the guy. Sometimes in a war you have to retreat and bide your time until you can get a clear show at the enemy - think Sam Houston retreating before Santa Anna after the fall of the Alamo until he caught the Mexican Army and destroyed it. If you read Ryan’s answer he is a very astute politician who understands what is possible and what is tilting at windmills.....I was impressed with his answer on TARP....that if the deflationary depression hit at that time we counld have had a complete run to socialism. Now, in 2013, when it threatens again we will have the congress and the presidency to take the medicine and time to let the economy heal.
