Then disclose it!
Maybe 200 million brains working on the problem is better than six, you idiot!
I resent being kept in the dark.
Why is it government is the only entity with a real right to privacy?
He could be right.
I find Senator Specter extremely depressing.
Will someone reel this guy in, get him psychiatric help—including a generous dose of electric shock therapy—and then let him sit in a rocker in an abandoned Pennsy mine shaft. Sheesh. Every time he opens his mouth garbage spews out.
Being in a depression requires 1/3 or better of the available American work force to be without jobs. We’re no where close to that. In fact, I see help wanted signs everywhere I go. Not to mention that our economy is apparently still good enough to employ 7-13 million illegals—depending on whose numbers you use. American travel spending went up by something like 2% over last year. I heard that report today. And, if you take the time to look at consumer oriented stocks, you’ll see that most of them are up. Translation, average Americans are still spending.
What we have here is a phony financial, lending and housing crisis created by demrat CEOs and Pols. Sadly, they’ve been aided and abetted by Bush and his RINO crowd. The dems are using the phony crises to advance their socialist agenda. Once again aided and abetted by RINOs.
In short, the pols are deliberately preventing the Market from working so as to get people to thinking the Market is no longer relevant.
And what do we all do, we sit around writing posts to one another about how terrible everything is. We should be out in the streets creating some meaningful civil disobedience.
You know, when I hear economists like Denniger talk about the “bezzle”, well, the “bezzle” is something that our government is in on. Why would anyone expect them to fix what they participate in and enable?
I think Specter is on the brink of senility and needs to be put in a home and given two enemas a day for the rest of his life to flush all the sh*t out of him.
And one of the causes is looking at him in the mirror.
I will never vote for Specter again under any circumstance.
This kind of statement is the worst kind of crap.
Specter here makes an alarmist remark about being on “the brink of a depression” but doesn’t provide any details as to why he “knows” that so certainly. Its like someone just told him that in a bar or something and it sounded convincing to the senator.
I’d like to hear the details (if any) before jumping off the deep end with further porkuli or bailouts or whatever else they have planned.
The American people are the most educated in the world, there is no reason to make the economy sound so mystical.
Snarlin’ Arlen put ME on the brink of depression just about everytime he opens his stupid mouth.
Hank
Really, Arlen? Well, you’ve been in office for 93 years, so I guess you’re partly to blame, eh?
