We're Either Going To Invest Or This Economy Will Continue To Tank! Congressman Kucinich

[666sigma]

Kucinich is an idiot. Borrowing and spending is not investing.  There has not been one instance in the history of the US where the government has INVESTED in America.

Government created jobs destroy jobs in the private sector. It's an anchor.

You want jobs. Abolish the corporate tax. Abolish the minimum wage. Enforce anti-trust laws on labor unions. Slap huge tariffs on countries pegging their currency to the dollar. Allow drilling in Alaska and offshore so we get off foreign oil.

How can you call funding wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen defense? Its pure BS. Stop funding WAR and remove the 700 plus military bases from around the World. LEAVE DEFENCE WHERE IT BELONGS, AT HOME! Over 1 trillion dollars is forked out every year to maintain the military bases all over the World. That does not include the money needed to fund the wars!

The USA builds bombs, missiles, fighters, and attack helicopters so that Raytheon & Lockhead Martin profit while people starve

Good debate. Congressman John Larson from Connecticut demonstrated outstanding political smoothness in the last minute of this clip!

I just wish the fuckers would tell everyone, "You're screwed, there's no fixing this. It's WAAAYYYYY too late now. Sorry, good game guys.

[whoo689]

Actually, Dennis, we're either gonna let the market work and get back on track, or we'll continue to fuck recovery up. How can he ask for MORE stimulus when the first one failed??

People need to realise that Kucinich wants to END the Federal Reserve private bank. He also wants to reform the entire monetary system and END debt-based money and fractional reserve banking. Go to monetary(dot)org for more details.

Damn, extortion is "staying positive while moving forward."

[deke76]

Oh, and Chris Matthews is an idiot. We didn't avoid a depression - we just delayed it.

[mojdfiv]

@deke76 Perhaps even prolonged it once hyper inflation starts.

[deke76]

Agreed, since we are now deeper in debt.

[cookiescotthug]

@deke76 Right..Chris Matthews gets a chill up his lag every time he talks about the puppet Obama.

[deke76]

The feds need to allow investment to happen - not do it themselves. Get out of the people's way and let us save and create new business. The government cannot create jobs.

[nippytaytay]

I like Kucinich, I think he means well, but he is a Keynesian super statist when it comes to economics.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Kucinich is wrong. The Government can not control the growth cycle of the entire economy of the United States.

Secondly, he says "this is a time where we should be investing in America".

With what money? 14 Trillion of debt.....You can't invest in anything using debt.

The Democrats want to print more money, devalue the currency, and spread the wealth around. That's sadistic and dangerous to everyone. You can't rob Peter to pay Paul. I've never seen anyone pay off their debt with more debt.

[Hauteur723]

@Pvtjamesryan2 regardless this country is printing out more worthless paper every day... would you rather use invisible money on job creation and economic growth or use it towards further occupation in the middle east and starting new wars (I.E. Afghanistan) in creating of an even more deficit?

[Waage83]

Then riddle me this HOW are you going to turn the economy around with out spending on infrastructure, job creation and things like that.

You have a major deficit and it will continue to grow every year from now on.

The only true way to fix it is to spend your way out of it. By freezing spending you will more or less prolong the depression.

[scottrex33]

this journalists is a miss leader

[IndividualAutonomy]

Invest with what? Paper?
