If you realize both parties in Washington think our money is theirs and you trust them to do the wrong thing, this list is for you.
If you think there is a Santa Claus who is going to get elected in Washington and cut a few taxes and spend a few trillion and jump start the economy, and get our lost money back, this list is not for you.

You’re questioning Mark Levin’s credentials? The Holy Ghost of the Conservative Talk Radio Trinity? What are you, some sort of liberal? /s
I will get much hate mail for this. Levin has a much bigger audience with conservatives than Schiff who is more libertarian. But I couldnt help myself, It's priceless to be even be able to find records of this stuff. And the truth is the truth.
No offense but Levin remains right. The Bush economy was strong for nearly all of his presidency. Schiff is very much correct in what he said, so it is not one or the other. There were a number of things Bush could have done better, including keeping the dollar strong, but his policies created a growth and job creating environment throughout his presidency. He does not deserve ‘blame’ for tanking the economy.
LOL. You put it perfectly. See #3
I became a Dittohead in 1992 and by 2008 daily listened to Rush(who I still like and am a 24/7 member) , Levin and Hannity. But after the 2009 crash, only Schiff made sense of it all. He was non-party loyal.
Truth is Truth.
Thank you for your polite viewpoint(I will be called many names for this one.)
I didnt Blame Bush in this post, certainly not for it all, but obviously he would get all the blame so he had a reason to head it off. This is more about who to listen to.
You should see the clips of Hannity I have before and after the crash. Same thing, before crash he told us economy was strong a big success, after crash he told us it was all democrats that killed economy by actions years before , and that republicans WARNED us the crash was coming back years before. But Hannity and Levin cant find one clip of themselves warning us economy would crash when they say BUSH was sounding the alarm bells. Isnt that strange?
You are a brave soul.
Beck and Rush are the only ones I can really take seriously. The others seem to be just GOP jock sniffers. Just my take.
Schiff isn't perfect and he has his own biases. But he explained the crash to me, my past mentors could not.
Even Thomas Sowell talked about all the causes, except the worst one, the federal reserve. This time I didn't buy Levin's book , I didnt buy Sowell’s,(a big break for me) I bought Tom Woods Meltdown.
Meltdown by Thomas Woods, with a foreword by Rep. Ron Paul., link to Wikipedia )
I will view them all but I came across some interesting articles I thought you might like.

RE :”Beck and Rush are the only ones I can really take seriously. The others seem to be just GOP jock sniffers. Just my take”
My favorite on FNC are : 1) Neil Cavuto, 2) Megn Kelly, 3) Glenn Beck. No Hannity or O Reilly.
Beck uses humor very nicely.
Neil and Megn are nice because they will not hesitate to bring republicans on the show and grill them, like McCain on TARP1 vote 2 days before the election. So when they grill democrats , and they do, they look honest.
Rush made a funny comment about Republicans the other day, he learned his lesson a few years ago on them.
If that happens this year, more bad news for Obama,
Meltdown is excellent. Let's hope his star continues to rise and his message gets further exposure.
No, Bush papered over the structural deficiencies in our economy by flooding the world with liquidity. That is the problem. It was a false prosperity, like building a straw mansion on sand. It is fake, false, temporary and soon collapses.
Bush didn’t cause this depression but did nothing to protect us from it and his policies hastened the decline. Inadvertently he helped us by pushing us into a depression so we can start deleveraging all of the crushing debt we need to destroy. But it was accidental on his part. All he wanted was to be re-elected.
No, the Bush economy was not “strong”. It was false.
Just as Obama did not cause the contraction. The economy was in trouble before Obama declared his candidacy. Yes, he is making things FAR worse, but no Obama did not cause this depression. He is only going to lengthen and deepen it.
Although I love listening to Rush, he was never so honest as when he admitted to “carrying the water” for the GOP. So take Rush off your list, because he is every bit the GOP jock sniffer that Hannity is.
Frankly, the absolute least partisan of all is Michael Savage. He trashes the GOP regularly, and when they deserve it.
Well said.
If you would like to listen to a very informative and entertaining talk by Mr. Schiff, go here:
Hear hear.
BUMP!!
I like Savage and admire his Independence.
To be fair, Rush did warn about the dangers that a McCain presidency with a dem congress would have for conservatism.
