I realize you didn’t ask me but I’ll chime in anyway.
Scratch (C). I don’t believe in that new world order nonsense. Even if I did, it’s not happening. With few exceptions the bozos in this administration — including Paulson and Bernanke — could (if you’ll pardon my crudeness) eff up a wet dream. They simply don’t have the competence to pull off a conspiracy!
That leaves B) malevolance and A) stupidity.
I admit I’m not for sure on this choice. How do you explain a Bernanke and a Paulson that mere weeks ago were reassuring us that all was A-OK? Were they intentionally lying to us, or, despite what they’d have us believe are they not up to the job?
I’m going to have to go with A) Morons and idiots.
My reasoning is simply the old cliche:
“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”
PLEASE read even 10%
or say a couple of quotes per screen page . . .
of our political & other leaders since 1900 linked in my tagline . . .
and then tell me if you still believe as you posted above.
Doesn’t sound like you’ve done much research in the field.
So you honestly believe you could walk to the Senate this minute and propose a better solution to this financial crisis than Paulson and Bernanke?
Yes, Paulson is one of the greedy pigmen, which means he knows them inside and out, like a parent who knows his kids tricks because he did them once. Paulson is a moron? And Bernanke, who although theoretically, has spent a lifetime studying the causes and mistakes of the Great Depression. Bernanke is an idiot?
Just 2 stupid men who are so stupid that an expenditure of $700 billion is going to lead us to a crisis of hyper-inflation along the lines of Weimar Germany against a national debt of $13 Trillion, against a GDP of $14 Trillion?
And these 2 men are just dunces who are so naive that they are accidentally going to cause a hyper-inflation and have no chance to stop a systemic WORLD financial collapse.
So what is your plan that you would put before Congress today, this minute. How do you plan to prevent a crash of the bond market, which holds multiple times the value of the stock market? How are you going to free the logjam in commercial paper? How are you going to stimulate lending among institutions that are terrified to lend money they fear they might lose as they are already technically insolvent and are trying to stall and find some way to recapture solvency?
Or is your answer just, crash and burn, bring it all down man, let it collapse, they have it coming, who cares if I get laid off or not and can’t find work for 5 years?
