CBS Financial Editor: ‘I Love The Government’
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/30/2009 6:50:40 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Imagine the MSMer’s dilemma: as a financial professional, she wanted to tell the truth–that the taxpayer is going to be a loser in the GM bankruptcy. But that would require her to reject the Obama administration’s line that taxpayers will get their billions back in a few years. What’s a good liberal media member to do?

Jill Schlesinger’s solution was to tell the truth . . . but to preface it letting the world know “I love the government.”

Jill, Jill, Jill. We’ll see if you still feel that way after the government has control of YOUR assets and 401k and controls your retirement.

I’m sure she has loved the government for many years, even during the Bush years.

Right?

Bueller?

You silly goose.

Of COURSE she thinks HER assets won’t be affected. It will just be all the little people...:)

As a Party member in good standing, she has little to fear.

Tell it to Robespierre. To Trotsky. Movements like this have a habit of eating their own.

Is this related to the thread on female rats?

I didn’t even love Reagan’s government. I just feared it less and worried less that it would impose on my basic rights and my wallet. I don’t like, love, or even respect obama’s government. I am almost as afraid of it as I would be of Hitler, Stalin, or the Anti-Christ. The only positive about obama is that despite his nearly pure evil, he’s not smart enough to accomplish as much as he’d like toward his goal of destroying our country.

Not that I know or care who Jill Schlesinger is...but every FReeper posting on this thread has more credentials than this frikken IDIOT. (my apologies...Not-Meant-To-Be-A-Slight-In-Any-Way to the BRILLIANT FReepers on this thread.)

Thanks to every poster.
