Rick Santelli calls for Tea party on Floor of Chicago Board of Trade
Yup! I remember.
I’m glad I don’t watch that kind of TV anymore. Just a lot of yelling and theatrics to get ratings.
Rick Santelli is making very good points to a bunch of ignorant morons.
The first guy tries to say that the $4 trillion ‘stimulus’ Obama WASTED caused ‘the greatest economic recovery in history’
Santelli was RIGHT to call him in that horsecrap. The obama ‘stimulus’ did NOTHING -we had an 8 year recession DESPITE all that money wasted.
Paid for a lot of nifty signs though..
Cleanup on CNBC ,LOL
What about all those textured anti-skid inserts on sidewalk corners?
I remember reading that the City of Philadelphia spent $180 million putting those in.
I don’t watch TV any more and this is an example of why. What kind of sorry excuse for a financial channel is chock full of idiot liberals trying to shut down one lonely realist with liberal anti-business propaganda?
Those clips are examples of the very reason I quit watching most of the cable news channels a decade or so ago.
Cavuto had, not 2, not 3, but 6 guests in windows on the screen. They all began screeching over each other. That went on for a full 7 minutes — without Cavuto interrupting once. It was nothing but noise and not one of the guests could be understood.
After that, I decided I could find more important things to do with my time — even including reruns of Gilligan’s Island.
The dirty little secret is only 7% of Obama’s 787 boillion stimulus went to shovel ready infrastructure projects with the rest going to fund unemployment comp and distributed to states to pay their state and municipal workers.
And further this from AP
“Analysis of the economy 10 months into President Obama’s first economic stimulus plan, cited in a January 12, 2010 Associated Press article, found that, “A federal spending surge of more than $20 billion for roads and bridges in President Obama’s first stimulus has had no effect on local unemployment rates…, it didn’t matter if a lot of money was spent on highways or none at all: Local unemployment rates rose and fell regardless. And the stimulus spending only barely helped the beleaguered construction industry.”

Truncated dome bases. An ADA requirement. I have to deal with ADA crap all the time on even the smallest of projects.
Also, that extra $1.2 trillion has never been removed from the budget. Thats how he ran up $10 trillion in additional debt.
In my opinion, a good case can be made that the Obama Stimulus actually turned the financial crisis into a depression. I saw it happen as a contractor involved in big construction.
When the stimulus program was introduced, the Democrats went to all the states (especially those like California) and asked for lists of projects that could be added to a stimulus package going before congress.
I was involved in managing a major country project in California near half a billion in size. While it continued, a lot of related and nearby road projects, giant water projects and all sorts of state, county and public body projects were stopped by the states and counties while this chance to get on the gravy train was analyzed for six to nine months. This was concurrent with casinos, hotels and shopping centers loosing their financial backing and going on hold or being abandoned.
THAT caused the great layoffs in construction, material supply and equipment usage that caused the huge downturn in 2009 after the 2008 stock market fiasco.
Get him on Fox Biz with Maria. That would be perfect.
Thanks. I like learning the correct terminology for things.
Carter I associate with back-up beepers on equipment, truncated dome bases are Obama's equivalent.

Apparently, those anti skid inserts are a real danger for our citizens using walkers and sometimes with canes.
