Per Drudge:

Just goes to show you that you can't build the economy from the bottom up. If zero doesn't throw out any incentives for investors everyone goes bust -- 401ks, pensions, you name it.
It’s interesting you would suggest that. I couldn’t help but be struck by all the spokespeople on TV this morning for the Obama plan that were black.
Nope

MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s being replayed right now, including a shot of drudgereport.
That was on TV? Just dam*!
BTTT

I don’t know how much of the current situation can be ascribed to conspiracy and how much to simply taking advantage of a crisis. I suspect elements of both. Still, the process you describe, while plausible, probably can’t be instituted very quickly. There is too much private property and respect for private property, plus a Supreme Court that is still sane until the sane ones die off and are replaced by those more willing to suspend the Constitution. The downward trend is there but I think we are far from the bottom.
TO ALL .....CRAP....WE HAVE BEEN HAD!!
I doubt it. They got such a kick out of it the put the clip on their website. The only thing I like about NBC is CNBC. They bash Zero regularly. This one is classic though.
Does this mean Obama and Pelosi will retaliate with their own version of the Intolerable Acts?
I wonder if their will be a internet Video link to the New repackage bit with the Drudge Report part?
Mark Haines this morning questioning Donna Edwards
Someone needs to get this video out.
VIDEO: 'The government is promoting bad behavior... do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages... This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage? President Obama are you listening? How about we all stop paying our mortgage! It's a moral hazard'... MORE...
Drudge is one very senstationalist silly person. He put it in bold red and used the siren for this? All CNBC tv personalities act like this, what is new or “breaking” about it?
It was a reporter having fun and some of the traders having fun with him, what the hell am I missing. Was there a recent poll showing a majority of Americans wanting a revolt? Was there major coupe in the works in Washington? Why the sensationalism?
Because according to Gallup, since the stimulus bill:
Democrats in congress approval is up 25 points to 43%

And Republicans in Congress are down 4 points to 19%
http://www.gallup.com/poll/114670/Congress-Approval-Rating-Jumps.aspx
No real threat of a tea part in those numbers.
Not saying I like this but I justed wanted to inject some reality in the minds of people like Drudge who are easily moved by a single emotional outburst by tv personalities that make their livings by being both informative and entertaining.
OUTSTANDING post! Thanks for the link to the video.
You’re right, FR keeps them all in touch, but you gotta love Drudge for going with it front, center, big and red!
FR itself can only whisper, but Drudge has big lungs and a global megaphone!
