Greenspan: Patron Saint of America's Affluentocracy »
Posted By populist 2 months, 2 weeks ago in News
Already six to nine months into the recession, government leaders are still telling us that it is just a period of slow growth, a pit stop in this economic race that we'll eventually win, so worry not, my friend. That explains to us what "garbage numbers" government is using to rose-color the state of the economy in terms of growth, unemployment and inflation. We are probably the most lied-to people by their government on the planet, at least among presumably developed and educated nations.

Here's what Ron Paul had to say about this insane inflation policy in a recent article:
"Every dollar created and spent by government makes the dollars in your pocket worth less and less. Eventually any currency controlled by government will be debased to worthlessness, and will wipe out the savings of the citizens who put faith in that currency."

And to think that there are a few who actually like the Bush economy. To think that there are a few who support the Bush-McCain policy of:

--Passing on massive debt to the next generation
--GREATLY reducing the value of the dollar via massive printing of new money
--Gifts to the Ultra-rich
--SPEND SPEND SPEND-

unbelievable, isn't it? It's like Keynes was resurrected, telling us how saving is bad, bad, bad.....and still, people claim that Bush is for "free markets"
The only thing that Bush likes "freedom" in is the freedom to spend this country into oblivion - and never having to take responsibility for it..

They think the economy is fine, & go along with this massive deficit & the 'rich' having less tax consequence than they have because they don't understand any of this. They live in sound bite land, & go along with the ridiculous assertions that all is just fine because they really can't assimilate what is happening. In short, they hear what they WANT to hear & believe whatever makes them comfortable. The truth is too hard to take.

"They think the economy is fine, & go along with this massive deficit"
Jordon-
Anyone voting for Obama or McCain are subject to the consequences of their ignorance.Incidentally, it's no coincidence that the chairmen of our fed. reserve are all members of the CFR. This is a serious time America...WAKE UP!
(Obama and McCain are both members...2 sides to the same coin)thanks populist...fantastic post!

Bush has destroyed the US economy no doubt. But not everyone has been hurt. I have invested heavily in energy stocks and made a bundle. I moved overseas a few years ago and sold my house so todays falling home prices are good for me because I will be returning to the US in a couple years and will need to buy a house. Also I get paid in foreign currency.

In spite of profiting from the mistakes of those who supported Bush I still think Bush should be impeached and put on trial for war crimes.-

IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS LIVE NOW: http://noliesradio.org/
Dennis Kucinich spoke exclusively to the Alex Jones show yesterday concerning his effort to bring articles of impeachment against the president and the vice president. Meanwhile, staffers of the chairman of the Judiciary Committee have reportedly told witnesses that Kucinich's informal impeachment hearing this Friday may be under threat of dismissal before it is even underway. The Congressman urged listeners to engage in discussions on the issue of impeachment and demand media coverage of the hearing to help increase awareness and protect the country from tyranny. "The best defense of a country is an informed citizenry, so people should read the articles, and if there is anything I missed in the 35 articles then I'd be happy to hear from people." Kucinich told listeners.

Let the finger pointing begin!...Wasn't it Greenspan who warned us about the dot com bubble and our current situation?

You do not have to be an economist to understand where SEVERAL administrations have been leading us. On page 49 he discusses a predicted migration, in just the next 10 to 20 years, of 40 MILLION American jobs overseas. The estimate was made by Alan Blinder - Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve under - ta-dum! - Alan Greenspan! He proclaims himself a "free trader down to my toes". Blinder also acknowledges, "If you look backward you see low-skill, drudgery work like call centers. If you look forward you see a lot of professional work like accountancy" going overseas.
