Eleanor Clift of Newsweek writes: "The great asset he (Obama) has is the collapse of the Republican Party. They have neither a credible message nor messenger. They’re railing against big government, when the core issue is the failings of capitalism. They call for smaller government and berate Obama for moving toward socialism when people are not hungering for tax cuts. They’re looking for jobs so they can pay taxes. Instead of developing alternative policies, they’re back to attacking FDR. He won four elections."

O.D.’d on the Kool-Aide, I see.
Ok, then why are these “capitalist advertising” in Newseek?
Trend Micro, Franklin Templeton Investments, T Mobile Lunesta, Michelob, Hewlett-Packard, Ford, CPO, Dannon, Kashi, Nabisco, New York Life, Toyota, Nissan, General Motors, Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch, MetLife, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, DaimlerChrysler, Volkswagen, Merck, General Electric, MSNBC, Canon, Seattle’s Best Coffee, Charles Schwab (partial list)
Or a gulag.
Actually capitalism never goes bad. Nor is there any such thing as bad capitalism. Either there is capitalism, or there isn't. The moment the govt sticks its filthy hands into and tampers with the free market, capitalism ceases to be.
“People don’t want tax cuts?! People want jobs just so the can pay taxes?! “
The sad truth is that not everyone wants a job Eleanor, which is why we have to have a system like capitalism that is based on effort and merit.
She’s right. I don’t care about feeding my family at all. The whole reason I’m looking for a second job is to pay higher taxes. Hmmm... I wonder if I can just give ALL of my money to the government. That would help the MESS-i-ah.
She reminds me of the witched witch from Oz, both appearance and voice.
Capitalism is based on cycles of success and failure, but know it all insecure morons will use any shrinking as a means to throw the baby with bath water. We saw the same scenario with the Nazi “pure race” principle. Now we are going to witness the “pure economy” principle of socialists in its careerist genocidal galor and cover ups.
Everyone in America wants a permanent job and it will not happen.
Since I started reading newspapers about fifty years ago or so, Dems have been telling the populace that taxes are wonderful things. Yet every time some politician vows to raise taxes, he or she gets voted out of office. Hmmmm. Maybe the common man or woman doesn’t love taxes nearly as much as libs think we do. (smirk)
She's certainly not very bright. She said that Elian Gonzalez will have a better life in Cuba because among other things Cuba has a "wonderful" socialist health care system. Leading to the question that if Cuba is such a wonderful place, why doesn't Eleanor move there?

How Long Will the Depression Last? If you watch CNN you will be told that FDR did not prolong the depression. “Roosevelt’s programs were first passed in 1933 but economists generally agree that the Great Depression did not end until 1939.” But according to at least one report, the stock market did not reach prior depression levels until the 1950’s, a fact that is not mentioned in the CNN report. Even Democrats have to admit that a central culprit deepening the depression was the National Recovery Administration (NRA) of 1933. While the NRA was supposed to lift wages for workers, it actually resulted in wholesale prices increasing by 23 percent in two years. What we are seeing now on Wall Street is what happened in the aftermath of 1929. Congress is discouraging businesses from reinvesting as occurred in the great depression of 1929. What we don’t have now that we had in the 1943 recovery is a nice big war and rationing, putting 6 million defense industry workers on the payrolls, and giving another 6 millions men jobs in the military. However, if war were the antidote to depressions, then Japan and the US should build super-carriers then float them out to sea, evacuate them and blow them up sending them to the bottom of the sea, then begin building more ships to do the same. Obviously without US jobs to produce raw materials like cement and steel, with which to build bridges and ships, without jobs that produce consumer goods, the economy cannot survive.
