Keep singing that tune Paul. All the way to defeat in November...
Thanks for saving the world, Paul !
A complete collapse of the US political system might not be such a bad thing ...
It would have collapsed without me eating a cheeseburger too.
Now let’s see us both try to prove it.
No way am I going to listen to a politician on economic matters. When they give their money away instead of mine...well, perhaps then...
Paul, you typical political moron, the economy will be just fine if you and your parasitic and pathetic colleagues would just quit and move on to another line of work (actually, I guess I mean ‘move on to an actual line of work’). The country doesn’t need you, or any of your buddies in Congress to ‘save us’. We need to be saved from you and the predictable mess you make of things. We would be much better off if we chose people to serve in Congress by a coin flip.
So what they are saying is that the gubermint would have used it as an opportunity to punish us and oppress us even more than what they already do...
Better dead then Red!
Go Lou ping
Kanjorski lies. This thread is wrong on so many counts that it would take a muli-page WSJ op-ed. Major lies are:
1. Bank run would have destroyed the economy, There has never been any explanation for who was involved in this (Soros?)
2. Government use of force to break up companies would need to be done “only once”. True on its surface, but there would no economy left.
3. “We had a mini-picture of what was about to happen in two or three years across the country and it did,” And you did what to correct the problem?
Oh, I suspect we have yet to discover just how far the "stimulus" has gone towards preserving the "U.S. political system". Some ugly revelations lie ahead.
This speaks volumes about how flaming STUPID the voters are in his district. He appears to represent their views since he’s continually reelected.
How stupid can anyone be?
If bailouts help, then why not 100 times the original bailout? 1000 times? a million times?
Sort version: If we didn’t give truckload of money to our cronies the world would have ended.
I think that the US would not have collapsed. I think Kanjorski is a liar as is anyone who says the US would have collapsed.
We are a nation of 300 million with towns, cities, counties, states, businesses large and small, and an awful lot of hard-working citizens.
Who might have collapsed would have been all those who gambled on the mortgage derivatives.
They should have had to pay the piper. Now they’re just back doing the same thing.
They lost a bad bet, and we had to bail them out.
The best lesson would have been their bankruptcy and reconstitution or disappearance.
Well, that's certainly their story. Completely avoiding any talk of Bernie Ebbers/Jeffrey Skilling-style prosecutions of the architects of that collapse was probably also painfully necessary to prevent a complete collapse of US House and Senate campaign financing. :)
I have already reviewed his campaign website and decided that, based on the information provided, I like him very much.
For instance, I LIKE that he's concerned that our financial weakness reduces our ability to negotiate with China over Tibet or Taiwan. The Bush era "free trade" policies have essentially purged such national security consideration from the GOP agenda, so I am really curious to know if Barletta is as good as he sounds.
Similarly, he talkis about "protecting" Social Security benefits without mentioning the Bush era abomination of Social Security "privatization". Is Barketta against the "privatization" scam???
I REALLY LIKE Barletta's position on abortion, 2nd Amendment and Illegal Immigration, but really need to know more about where he stands on Trade, Manufacturing, Energy Independence and passenger rail transportation before I give him my support.
