No! He makes it official that Republicans and the Right don’t have a clue as to what is going on. Sleeping with Libertarians has left the GOP, well let’s call it what it is, FRIGGIN’ BRAIN DEAD on economic stuff.
All your typical Republican can do today is wallow around like some kind of chimpanzee on economic issues making hoots, howling occasionally, and shaking branches around. (I am perhaps being too charitable.)
Wall Street (WS)has sunk the country. Obama has not risen to the occasion having been courted and wooed by WS, and having as economic advisors some of WS’s finest. Obama has been seduced by Wall Street and it is so bad, even the progressives on the lefty side of things are puking and having DT’s.
Do the Republicans rush in and save the day? Do they finally re-regulate the sorry b*stards? OH H*LL NO! They are too busy repeating libertarian-Ayn Rand garbage like “free market” and “no regulation”. Cause you see, they don’t get it yet. It was the the free, unregulated-ish markets which did this.
Our Founding Fathers had a brief experience with weak and puny government that could not perform its limited job effectively. They called it the Articles of Confederation. It was so week that it didn’t work, and being realists, they knew they had to have a government that could perform the functions needed. NOT PRACTICALLY NO GOV’T AS PREACHED BY THE GOP PRIMATES.
The GOP has the golden opportunity here to do the right thing AND come back into power for the right reasons (instead of as a reaction to Obama) and what do they do???
They sit in their little monkey cages, wash down bananas with stale Libertarian Tea, and preen thru each other’s fur searching for various lice, fleas, and ticks. This instead of recapturing America’s center and the independents, and the p*ssed off Democrats.
parsy, who wishes you all would read up some on this stuff
Sorry Parsy, the rest of us would rather sit around and listen to brilliant minds like yours who apparently DO "read up" on this stuff, because no one who DOES "read up" on this stuff disagrees with you, right?
You said weak puny government didn’t work. You said the Articles of Confederation were a failure.
Why has it worked so well in Switzerland?
