I feel sorry for all the Economics majors who are only being taught Keynsian Economics which does not and has NEVER worked. No WONDER our country is such a mess. All our so called "experts" (except for a few who are laughed at who are the ones who REALLY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND --like Ron Paul for starters) follow Keynes (however if they ran their household the same way, they'd be in hock up to their ears). I'm sure they aren't THAT stupid to run their households the way they advise Obama.
It is not just Keynes they are learning but efficient markets, modern portfolio theory, VAR all of the model related ideas.

Lifes a game changer when people see their investments and real estate trashed by the federal reserve.

Derivatives, toxic asset investments and bundled unsecuritized HELOCs do NOT equal Keynesian. I feel sorry for people who post talking points and refuse to see we have all been shafted by Wall Street.

How about a book, entitled, "I Quit," by B. H. Obama. Sell out in a flash and the dominos would fall.

The dominoes are already in a funeral pyre...Candidates need to start touring the country they want to have pay for their salary and 5 martini lunches courtesy of taxpayers.

Spending less time reading or writing stupid polls and actually producing something to buy.

Why buy? Once you have house food and career, boycott em all. Id love to see another deep double digit retail recession. Furniture stores like Ashley are already having fire sales.

The demand is there from US consumers.

It is all about who is making the products that are in demand.


Trade tariffs
Tax all imports!

Operation W3tback, that President IKE implemented
Get rid of all illegal alien parasites.

Get selfish... Put our guys and gals back to work.
