Fear mongering? Liberal group calls Beck 'Misinformer of the Year' | Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/blogs/yeas-and-nays/Fear-mongering_--Liberal-group-calls-Beck-_Misinformer-of-the-Year_-8672483-79859077.html - broken link)
I don't think he deserves the title because not that many people watch his show.
Here are my top three:
Third place: more people were misinformed by our government officials over the past year (IMHO, the past 30 years, at least).
Second place: the apparatchiks of the Democratic and Republican (let's make that ALL) Parties, who with all of the spinning that they do, can't even produce a decent pair of socks.
First place by far: me and you, who misinform ourselves by agreeing to everything that is said to us by "experts" and "knowledgeable" people, as long as it fits our philosophy of sh#t.
So you are an outright socialist, then? At least Keynes advocated some sort of free market system.
Lefties, no idea where their motivation comes from, but it's seldom to be trusted, in my opinion.
Next you'll be telling us that you want to re-align the "peace corps" with the mission of domestic intervention, making sure we all behave with good manners like the nanny state wants us to, right?
Someone who doesn't believe in Keynesian economic theory is a socialist? Keynes, who is a joke, leans towards socialism. If you want info on how to run a successful free market economy check out Austrian economics.
"Felix Somary, a Swiss banker, related how Keynes had approached him in the mid-20s for stock recommendations. Somary, who subscribed to the Austrian School of economics, refused to give him any, warning that a speculative bubble was emerging. Keynes confidently replied: "There will be no more crashes in our lifetime." The financial collapse apparently did nothing to dent his self-confidence. (Cited in Dissent on Keynes, edited by Mark Skousen, Praeger, 1992, p. 163)."
"According to the Austrians the Fed's credit expansion would trigger a speculative boom, which it did; eventually the Fed would be forced to apply the monetary brakes, which it did in December 1928 when it froze the money supply; this would cause malinvestments created by the credit expansion to start emerging by about the middle of the 1929, which is exactly what happened; the bubble would then quickly burst and the economy would go into a fully fledged depression -- the rest, as they say, is history."
