There are 237 …
There are 237 millionaires in US Congress, that’s 44% of representatives compared to 1% of Americans overall.
Richest is California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa with a net worth estimated at about $251 million. That’s what Politico article “Report: 237 millionaires in Congress” says.

We have been …
We have been shanghai’d by the corporatists. They claim that campaign contributions are free speech. This is stinkin’ thinkin’. Speech is something you say. Speech is not something you do. If we all get this straight, I think we’ll all be better off.

This god country requires one thing….A GIANT F_ _ _ _ _ _G BRAIN ENEMA!
I have never been witness to so much useless bullshit being produced by so many people at one time.
This is like watching some sort of Saturday Night Live skit and you are sitting there hoping that the f _ _ _ _ _ _g thing just isn’t real.
I am just waiting for Christopher Walken to come on stage as the President, launch the f _ _ _ _ _ _ g rockets and scream….MORE GOD COW BELL!
This is insanity

Here is what the …
Here is what the American people need to do.
Every American needs to can, vote out of office, every Congressman and Senator over 50. Why? Because when they reach that age as a politician they are bought and paid for by the special interest groups and lobbyist. They become useless.
Vote out every one of them over 50 in both parties because they are nothing but hacks and opportunist looking to maintain their positions and keep their connections.
AND THEY ARE ALL F_ _ _ _ _G LAWYERS.

They need to repeal “the Commodity futures modernization act” passed 12/15/2000 this along with the gutting of Glass Steagall in 1999 both pushed through by Gramm R Texas These two pieces of legislation were the root cause of the subprime melt down and stock market crash

Really? And, your …
Really? And, your point relevant to my FACTS I provided as well – is? I suppose your denying that in the late 30s the Depression was easing and the economy on an uptick, then on advice from ‘classical economists’ Roosevelt cut the budget to try for balance, and poof – the Depression got worse again – or that WWII did not pull us out of the Depression – or that Government did not spend a dime – or that the TVA and other works did not provide jobs? What is you’re point then? Enlighten us…

there’s a book …
there’s a book called “How to Lie with Statistics” which was a college text at CU.
Facts are facts, statistics are NOT facts but may be portrayed in a myriad of amazing variety and as propaganda.

northmeister is a …
northmeister is a progressive revisionist.
His ilks dogma twists history into MORE = change Obamanation BS.
Lincoln ignored the Constitution and caused the Civil War as mechanical innovation was making slavery obsolete anyway. (it was about States Rights and Rule of Law).
Wilson allowed the Fed so Congress had unlimited fiat currency.
FDRs spending turned a recession into the Great Depression and only WWII got us out.
There can be NO personal liberty without economic freedom.

I agree with you on …
I agree with you on personal freedom – I look to what made America prosperous on economics. Hamilton to Clay to Lincoln all believed in government intervention and supervision; this lead to T.R. and anti-trust/workers rights/regulation of industry for consumers/health. In essence America combined Jefferson/Hamilton under Lincoln, and this was picked up by FDR. That is fact, it is historic truth – your side calls Clay a Nazi, Lincoln a communist , FDR..- that tells us a lot about libertarianism.

You sir, mistake …
You sir, mistake our Founder’s love of liberty as they understood it, in personal matters relating to ones right to speak, publish, worship, justice before a court, innocence (see Bill of Rights) – from the misguided notions of libertarians that somehow they meant liberty in economy. Jefferson is often quoted or looked to – but in office his Treasury Secretary Gallatin endorsed protectionist tariffs..not libertarian dogma. Our Fathers were not dogmatists. Hamilton/Gallatin was their economics.

You mean, apart …
You mean, apart from the libertarians that built THIS nation? You are completely deluded. Even the libertarians of today never dreamed of the kinds of freedoms we had in the first century of this country’s history.

As far as FDR and …
As far as FDR and the Depression…his programs were working and things getting better until he listened to economists and cut the budget – then the Depression took another dip – statistics don’t lie friends. World War II pulled us out, because the Government spent money in the economy and had a large jobs program called the Army, Navy, AirForce, and Marines – if it can be done in wartime it can be done in peacetime. America, Germany, Japan, Britain all developed in opposition to free marketism

yakyak…stop the …
yakyak…stop the labels and look at real history…America’s ideals are in direct opposition to libertarian thinking. It is incredible how much the DiLorenzo’s of the world attack our greatest thinkers and leaders if they disagree with their theories and beliefs. Because you’ve been blinded by libertarian nonsense, you like the communists and nazis fail to realize just how ridiculous your assestments are – even in the face of an economic disaster you’re ideals created…lol Nuts!
November 27th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Reading DiLorenzo …
Reading DiLorenzo is like reading a history book about capitalism from the Soviet Union…nonsense…and Nuts!

Statists…lol …
Statists…lol Mumbo jumbo from libertarians who’ve never built a nation, attack Lincoln and our heritage; despise the very principles America was built upon – and worship at the altar of Smith, Ricardo, Hayek, and Mises….should of known; where that view of ‘reality’ comes from – Thank Goodness American history was made of better stuff.

Northmeister,
FDR …
Northmeister,
FDR did nothing to create prosperity. His programs prolonged and exacerbated what would have been a moderate recession into a ten-year depression. Social Security was nothing more than a vote-buying scheme designed to capitalize on the desperation of the times, and to begin the creation of the dependent voter class. The man was a closet facist who idolized Stalin.
Hamilton? Don’t make me laugh. He was the progenitor of today’s “can’t keep their hands off the economy” statists.

Northmeister, …
Northmeister, Research Corporatism and discover how it is different from FREE market capitalism and is in fact closer to Central Planning Social-Fascism.
It was not Deregulation, it was Corporatism or Directed Regulation crafted to aid Congressional corporate benefactors at the expense of both the small business and the taxpayer.
Progressivism IS Crony Capitalism also known as Corporatism.
Research & Learn!

Northmeister, read …
Northmeister, read the book:
Hamilton’s Curse
by Professor Thomas DiLorenzo
Hamilton worked for the European Bankers and the crown (not the king). He was the opposite and political enemy of Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson kept Hamilton around because he attracted British loyalists to the new gov’t and foreign money investment to a young struggling nation.
Hamilton = Central Gov’t (statist)
Jefferson = Personal Liberty/Responsibility
