When we were the strongest manufacturing economy on earth, we were a powerhouse and represented a real economy, and most Americans were far better off than other countries. That changed when we replaced our manufacturing based economy with one based upon phony financial products and debt.
Wall Street globalists played a big part in exchanging our real economy to a fictitious economy and they also put Obama into office and they own Congress. They benefited enormously with the help of the Fed. Financiers won, most Americans lost.
The Federal Reserve and their QE2 and shadow budget that has hurt the US dollar while enabling financiers the world over, is a big part of our problem.
Cringing: Not sure what that has to do with anything. People will buy American when it is in their best interest to do so as an individual. Then again, if the dollar keeps tanking, it will be. But things will suck anyway.
You know what, actually I would like to very clearly retract my post about buying American in the context of Kudlow.
I was under the impression he’s one of those “free trade uber alles” people. He’s not.
In fact, just found this:

Thinking I got him confused with that guy who wears the bowtie.
Sorry Kudlow. My apologies.

...oh, and Happy Easter. Off for a 50-mile bike ride.
I agree. Kudlow to the FED and Palin to the White House.

Palin figured it out first!!!???
I guess nobody at the NY Sun ever heard of Rick Santelli...you know, the guy whose rants against QE started the Tea Party Movement over two years ago.
As for Palin for FED...sure, why not? Let's see her detailed plan before we coronate her...you know...the richly researched, exquisitely presented Palin White Paper on restructuring the Fed and saving the dollar...
Happy Easter!
___________________________________________
You're right...she's equally qualified for either position.
Ummmm ....... Because she has so little demostrated ability in medical matters that the American public would think that she is as capable of being a good Suregeon General as much as they think that she is capable of being a good President?
FOX News Poll (February 7-9, 2011)
Question 3: I am going to read you a list of names. Tell me if you think that person would make a good President or not.
Sarah Palin:
.................YES.........NO.......DK.....Never heard of
ALL...........23%.......72%.........4%.......1%
Dem ...........7%........87%........5%.......1%
Rep ...........40%.......56%.......3%.......1%
Ind ...........25%........69%.......3%.......1%
Why am I so opposed to the Republican nomination of Sarah Palin?
Because I would bet my life that any Republican nominee with such toxic poll numbers absolutely GUARANTEES the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama and America simply cannot afford such a disaster.
He has only started attacking China, because of the obvious unemployement and the shift of sending jobs overseas.
He has supported their central planning for years.

Great post, Al. I am posting this on my facebook page....Happy Easter to you and yours, FRiend
BTW, relative to this thread, just posted at C4P for those interested:
"Seth Lipsky, Editor of the New York Sun, will be a guest on Jewish Independent Talk Radio later today with Benyamin Korn. Lipsky will be discussing his editorial on Governor Palin’s foresight on monetary policy to which we linked above. The program will air from 5:00 to 6:00 PM and again from 8:00 to 9:00 PM. Listen to it at Newstalk 990 WNTP."
“I agree. Kudlow to the FED and Palin to the White House.”
Be a damned sight better than Bernanke in the Fed and Obama in the White House.
Hm. Apparently we’re not bright enough to process sarcastic humor very well, are we?
And if we’re going to pick nominees for next year by what the polls say this year, we might as well bag the primaries right now, save the money, time and grief, and just give The Donald the nomination. Maybe we can get him to pick Charlie Sheen as his running mate. I mean, PPP had Ole Tiger Blood beating her too. Trump/Sheen—Republicans 2012. Bi-Winning!
No, really, when the main knocks on the gov are that she doesn’t have the experience, the conservative credibility or the gravitas to do the job, and then The Donald, who has by any reasonable definition even less of any of those things, shoots to the top of the polls, I don’t know what the people they’re talking to are judging by, but it ain’t those things. Screw them.
She's not going to run for president.
Really? Are you one of her staffers? Are you Todd? Are you Governor Palin herself? Are you, in short, somebody in an actual position to know? Or are you just assuming that something you want to be true will be true?
LOL... about as qualified for one as the other
