(http://www.cnbc.com/id/43598606) Omg! That sounds exactly like what I said would happen... not looking good for Keysians... What are your thoughts BO? Why do you think QE has had little effect? |

at 3:00 AM, Friday July 1, 2011 EDT If there's anything I don't like about your political views dead it's that you don't recognize the above. How you are manipulated, or how at least the general population is manipulated and put into virtual serfdom for the upper classes. By tricking them into voting against their own self interest. They've managed to radicalize you into sipping their kool-aid. You'd rather secure the riches of a billionaire in a limo than the shelter or safety of the homeless. That's what truly bothers me about what you profess.
Maybe you just don't have perspective on the poor, maybe you've only been exposed to a certain kind. But if you've been abroad you'll find by in large the poor are poor due to circumstance not their own devices. The former may be true in the heart of the American South, but it's not in any urban centers and certainly not in the rest of the world. Aristocracy is making a return in the veil of plutocracy and the "free" market. |
