Ehm, how did those 7:03 minutes make me smarter than Obama?

Roubini, Krugman, Stiglitz ... they've all been saying that nationalization is the only sound approach to the problem, nothing new there. Doesn't make it a viable political option though, unfortunatly. Or did I miss the point entirely again?

^ It'll never be politically viable so long as Democrats shy away from the N-word.

Nationalizing is the a step to Fascism.

And the slippery slope away from where the founding fathers built the nation on.

It is a similar institution to a theocracy when "do gooders" take control of policies to archive their own moral prerogative. There is no difference between health care for all or prayer in schools in a absolute morality since. "Progressive" ideals are just that, personal ideals, and have no business in government as much as religious ones. We created this nation to escape moral tyranny only to create a new one.

There is no difference between the moral planning of any sort; be it religious or otherwise.

I was commenting on the first comment, and it was a gut reaction. I was not commenting on the video itself.

The person who states that my comment is a "load of bullshit", replied with a gut reaction to an argument that they do not agree with.

I look back at my comment and realize that it is a "load of bullshit". It doesn't even make a complete thought, without mentioning the bad grammar.

What angers me the most is the rampant political government spending.

Bush's 700 billion dollar bailout, and Obama's 800 billion dollar "Stimulus Package". From where I sit it looks like the people who run this corporation are trying to take its feet out from under it.

I understand that Obama's "stimulus package" has goodies in it. But it still adds to the huge amount of debt the US is in.

700 billion, 800 billion. 1500 billion, whats the difference. The money has lost its value.

The money has to go back to the people, its the only way. The consumer has to consume. The Legacy business plans have to catch up with the evolution of technology.

The hardest part is to realize that a person may think they are doing good, but in reality they may not be doing good.

I think it has something to do with proximity. The fact that this person may be surrounded by persons who say "YES THAT'S GOOD STUFF" to every thing this person in power does.

So in total: This hypothetical person may have no Idea what their good intentions are doing. Compound that with group think, and we have a damaging situation.

Until Americans are lining up for food none of this is even going to sink in.

Bush and the banks took your country to the cleaner, and now, by nationalizing everything (which they have basically already done anyway without much hassle) you all have to pay the bill. If you didn't do this, all the criminals would be BROKE.

Instead, after they finished fucking you up the ass, you sucked their dick and paid them a trillion dollars.

The utter ignorance and stupidity of the American public never ceases to amaze me.
