  • If I was your mom I'd beat you for putting me on You tube.

  • U.S. needs to cease the war. It's so dumb spending trillions of trillions dollars to war!! What we really get after we win it? Proudness!! ha... idiot!! Decreasing taxes will boost our economy as well- people will have more money to spend for, and for business owners, they could flourish their businesses. What's wrong with our foolish government!!!

  • I think everybody in the U.S. or the world for this matter, should be required to take a money management or economy class, so they understand the facts before they start spouting off pure ignorance. It's amazing how many people in this country operate off of pure ignorant information.

  • BOY" was that grey suit fart head REALLY WRONG was Bush the economy and the war.this guy's reputation is GONE!!!

  • strong 'real estate net worth' -- the idea of a shrinking middle class is a joke -- see how wrong the mainstream view has been!

    THE RISE OF THE PEOPLE -- f**k money. Food for farming with free housing and we can focus on dealing with the environmental/consumption issues. Sorry, no more white picket fences and 24/7 centralized heating. No time for I told you so. Get out in the community and organize, organize, organize!

  • @GeoliphicMedia that would set us back a few hundred years into poverty

  • Wow!! 2 Years after this show was taped and many people are now talking DEPRESSION!! Just another nail in the coffin "everything will be fine".

  • Personally, I blame the fucking Bush Administration for the cause of our crumbling economy. If they weren't so stupid and started this bullshit war that has been bankrupting this country for years now, we wouldn't be in this situation. Millions of our hard earned money has been sent to fund this fucked up war that we, the people, never wanted, and this asshole administration hasn't taken any responsibility or accountability for it. How stupid are we, the American people, to elect such a person?

  • lol, yeah, whatever! I'll send you some euros, lol

  • Its not the war, Americans have bankrupted themselves. Okay so the war hasn't helped, but you guys would be screwed with or without the war.

  • @agentbl that's part of it, but there are much bigger factors, like interest rates

  • Jack has Roves Tiny p**is up his poop shute..and likes it...it pays well!

    Come on..squeel like a pig!!oink oink!!!

  • Paper money, funny money, it's a federal trick without a treat. It's the source of all inflation, and the reasons why your ends don't meet. Paper money, bogus money, it's been proven through out history, It deceives you, while it bleeds you, as it leads you down to tyranny. Paper money, worthless money, it's a nation's curse since times of old. Things won't ever get no better, till we make the Fed give back our gold.
  • Exactly!

  • The final countdown

  • Jack is FULL of it!!

  • When you have a giant current account deficit you can't say that money spent on Iraq means nothing. It's money you don't actually have you moron.

  • boy was the hairdoo guy wrong!

  • you can't pay for guns (Iraq war) and butter (domestic spending) by cutting taxes on the richest 5% of Americans...Bush screwed you and your children all you Republicans and so called Independents in 2000 and 2004...you can turn a blind eye until you're financial demise. You think those rich with their tax cuts will trickle down their wealth to you then...and without welfare and social security you are screwed...but its ok because their against abortion right?

  • "Massive negativity is causing the slowdown" What a moron, must also be a lobbyist for other morons too. Did you ever get the feeling that CNBC is chock full of morons. There is the king of morons in the whitehouse and morons all over Washington D.C. And the other morons that report moronic facts as in New York Times. Lets see; morons in the press, the whitehouse, majority morons in both house and senate, morons on t.v. "There coming to get you Barbera" We need RP now, the only antidote

  • your all saints

  • Jack is full of crap.

  • We here in the u.s. only seem to have more but the truth is we have more debt. Someday this lifestyle will end abruptly and living within our means will be the reality.

  • All Ron Paul supports must read, very encouraging!

    (Its about the war of delegates)

    dailypaul( DOT )com /node/46535

    ronpaulwarroom( DOT )com /?p=9512

    Alex Jone and Richard Reeves supports the delegates war of GOP!

    watch?v=DCxpdSgrO0M

    Help to spread these messages, thanks

  • 2000: The Republicans start to roll back the New Deal.

    2008: America plunges into the second Great Depression.

    What could this possibly mean?

  • "Massive negativity is the cause of the problem" - That Jack guy is real sharp; what a smart guy. Wow. Lets see more of him, because American's are just so negative... Get the hook and hang this meat to dry. Next please.

  • 10 million millionaires is good? that's only 3% of the population. So 3% of pop. owns 95% of the wealth. Jack doesn't know JACK!!!!

  • Jack needs to go fetch a pail of water and shut up!!!!

  • If you look at our 13 trillion dollar economy and compare it to a chart of inflation since the establishment of the central banking institution in what ?1913?, you will see that since 9/11 the inflation has skyrocketed more than any other time in US history. The stock market is doing well but the slaves that drive the economy are being screwed more and more.

  • when there are wars the government must borrow more money from the federal reserve. When they do this the federal reserve must print more money. When they do this our money becomes worth less and less the longer the war goes on. The reason why prices are going out of control is bc the companies that our money is worth less but their product is worth the same, so they must increase the price on the product to cover the inflation.

  • "The economy isn't that bad, critics just have a negative outlook"

    Hint-when you are filthy rich, like everyone in Washington and on CSPAN who say that our economy is just fine and dandy, you'll have a positive outlook.

  • bush took america and wipe hes ass whit well that good for the euros now everything that comes from america wort 6 cents

  • poverty rates went up every year bush has been in office

  • is Jack Burkman retarded?

    dollar is down %50

  • President Bush will act, he will save us....

    Uhh....LOL, Can't even stop from laughing.

  • conservatives are the only ones who will solve this problem you idiot!!

  • who are the conservatives Ron Paul?

    who are you talking about?

  • Isn't Bush a conservative?? Look where he has taken us.

  • Hes not a real conservative

  • its always been reality VS the prez

    wake up sheep

    its time to till the herd

  • Thank you for posting this

  • the depression is coming.....SOON!

    any day now! believe it!

  • Wow, I guess time made a fool of that conservative moron.

  • I thinking it's just standard procedure for these news segments to cause confusion. I understand giving both sides of an argument, but is there not some way to keep these guys from talking over eachother. Two guys jousting over an issue just leaves the public in a continual pendulum from side to side. What ever happened to calm intellectual discussion? Present your supporting facts sir and please step aside for opposing ideas. Instead, we're left wondering who's still left in the saddle.

  • 30 per cent? Sounds way too high to me.

  • somebody in the USA, go & whip this Moron

    "Jack Burkman" the dickhead on the left with dark hair!

    Bill Clinton handed down his presidency to Bush's family in a budget surplus. Since then, it took Bush Senior & Bush Junior to fucked up the economy in a very short time !

  • Jack Burkman ! you dumb fool!

    Iraq war didn't cost US that much monies ?

    let me refresh your head with these facts;

    ** $450 billions cost so far !

    ** Not to mention the ongoing support there

    ** Not to mention the death soldiers you bring home and the wounded women and children also.

  • lol its a trilion a year!

    thats 1.000.000.000.000 $ = LOT OF FOOD!

    still they are acting as if it were pocket change!

  • The real terrorism threatening the US is the debt being consumed by the US itself.

  • "I want to close down the Federal Reserve"--- Ron Paul

  • ..iraq is not costing us that much??? last time i checked america was losing millions in a single day

  • Bush has been the biggest disappoint to me than any President ever, before you re-comment , I voted for him...it was a big waste of time to wait as long I did to cast a vote....should of listened to my friends.

  • Because of people like we all must suffer now... thanks a lot

  • hahahaaa i hope this jack burkman has looked back on video and saw what a fucking jackass he is and he knows fucking nothing, as of this date the housing market is crashing the stock market is crashing the dollar is crashing everything he said is wrong ,,your a jackass jack your a joke..

  • The $800 tax rebate is like the Rich Guru throwing the kids quarters to those fathers and mothers losing their homes because Congress committed treason to the citizens allowing this situation to happen.

    BRAC, 911, Economic, Immigration Treason and they don't see the Gallows coming.

  • Jack Burkman is a fucking idiot, He needs to get fucked in the ass by a horse!! and so does bush. FUCK BUSH!!!

  • If the economy is doing so well, why are so many people in foreclosure? If the economy is doing so well, why are bankruptcies at an all time high? Why are credit card defaults up? Why are he and the Congress trying to "stimulate" the economy? If you want to give President Bush "credit" for something, give him credit for destroying our economy! Vote Ron Paul 2008!!!

  • Does this IDIOT live in outer space?

  • US economy is over...10 trillions dlls of debt. each american owes $33,000...omg. we need a war to have all the debts written off if we win.

  • 50% own equity?! NO, we own DEBT! We have not begun to see the bottom yet..Iraq not costing much? He's a fool. Ron Paul 08-Save our nation!

  • wow, I bet that financial analyst is really eating his words now about Americans having record real estate financial net worth!!

  • Wow. The bald dude knows what he is talking about. The other slick willy guy is just a two faced liar corporate tool blowing smoke up everyone's butts, trying to portray a fantasy candyland type of the reality currently facing the overwhelming majority of american's.

  • weird! poor people listen to the same group of people who broke things can fix the economy.

  • The only solution to protect the ordinary citizen from the speculative bubble of wall street, is Lyndon LaRouches "Homeowners and Bank Protection Act" Go to LaRouchepacdotcom and ask the youth movement what you can do to help.

  • lol i love when he says the borrowing is from greed, so you're saying that the american people are greedy...

  • What a liar, the war isn't costing us very much, so laughable. I know quite a few middle class people being middle class myself and most of the are struggling. Those who aren't work 24/7 and try not to spend anything. Emphasis on working 24/7. And even those people are fucked because the value of the dollar is going so low and the economy will crash eventually.

  • An almost a year later an m3 number shows 18+% rate of inflation. Don't believe the CPI. The Fed will keep printing new money trying to save the economy due to housing bubble burst or 'credit crunch'.

    We are unofficially in experiencing mild hyper-inflation, and the dollar threatens to crash. This will cause a severe recession and hyper price inflation. The only presidential candidate who deeply understands the economy is Ron Paul.

  • hahahaha Iraq war not costing much?? Wow.what a dumb ass. I love it how he tries to justify a good economy by how many millionaires there are. The average American spends 125%. With a deficit of 9 trillion dollars and the US dollar sinking in value..I don't think the economy is going very well

  • haha the republican strategist is a riot.

  • Anything to do with Motorola or Nokia ?

  • economy is doing well if your rich, the middle class is being squeezed. American workers are working longer, being more productive, but getting paid less, with less benefits, yet corporate earnings are skyrocketing yearly. who is getting screwed is obvious

  • WAKE UP! U.S is $40 trillion in deficit!

  • so, apparently the truth is noting but "massive negativity". We have a dollar bubble that is about to burst; we owe China approximately 3 trillion dollars in outstanding debt; we have rampant inflation with M3 statistics being kept from the public by the federal reserve. When the truth is in fact as negative as our present economic situation...well let's just say Black Tuesday in 1929 will look like a day at the beach in comparison

  • We are broke. If you do not believe that, look at David Walker's video on Youtube...he is the Comptroller General of the US, and he is telling everyone that we are headed for disaster. BTW, what happened to the national debt in this discussion. The debt cannot be ignored. Interest payments on the debt are growning astronomically each year.  Soon, the government will be able to pay only the interest on the debt.

  • If you were european and bought stocks in 2003 you made no real $ over the last 4 years in relative terms. Wages have fallen in the US and inflation here. Gold $840, wheat $8.00 Soybeans $11.00 Oil at $98 Sub prime crises will get much worst

  • Looks like Father Time proved Mr. Right-Wing 100% wrong!

  • LOL...this was in the beginning of the year...that guy is so full of sh!t

  • The US should go back to the gold standard.

    /watch?v=ZJDqneN4weE

  • Jack would be better off peddling AMWAY.

  • The guy on the right described me and many people I know. The 2 parties have turned the U.S. into a society of rip-offs.

  • never mind re gold or any other investment .

    Dollar is devalued by 44 % , it is insane .That is what really matters . Milk used to be 2.50 now almost 5 bucks gas was 89 cents in 2002 not over 3 bucks .Have you lost your brains ? It takes like 500 -750 to fill the fridge ,which family of four can devour in matter of hours .

    Salaries are the same.They are robbing the shit out of us and acting like nothing is happening .

  • I agree with guy #2. Guy #1 is living in a time warp.  In fact, it's all been set up from 60 years ago. The only thing we have to look forward to is the Amero. So after the housing bubble burst and many losing their homes due to Adjust. Rate Interest and fuzzy loan packages that don't make sense, the middle class, the poor, and the upper middle class all lose. It's the Amero soon to appear, dummy!

  • what is the amero?

  • The Amero is the new currency for America, Canada & Mexico when we become the North American Union. The dollar will no longer exist, nor the Peso, nor the ??whatever Canada uses. It's similar to the Euro. In fact, it will be set up to compete with the Euro coz the dollar is losing its worth.

  • Real Estate, Real Estate, Real Estate.

    "They put allot of money into their Real Estate.

    The Real Estate prices are OVERINFLATED. How can you possibly give the President credit for "good economy" pointing to ONE THING.

  • fed has way more influence that the president, and even they don't have as much as they're given credit/blame for.

  • left vs. right. there is no truth. it's all subjective,.. so the media has you believe. YaWn. That pundit guy is saying the right buzzwords and stroking my vaguely held ideologies I got from... somewhere or other,.,. But hey I get a righteous thrill to have my convictions confirmed by a guy on TV!!! All the people that get a thrill from the other guy are idiots to be sure, no doubting my truth.

  • fiat money is worth nothing without a strong economy. It doesn't matter if you have savings! As the saying goes: Only after the last tree has been cut down Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Then will you find that money cannot be eaten

  • What a load of propaganda. Inflation is pushing the DOW, compare it to gold or oil.

    The US economy is sinking, but the band keeps playing!

    1oz used to be worth $20, now it's nearly $700.

  • Net Worth!?!?! THAT MEANS, EXACTLY,... SHIT! Net Worth will NOT buy you food, a car, or pay your house payment.

    In fact, the average Net Worth in America is *WELL* into the negative, if you consider money borrowed! I mean, the average American is AT LEAST $25,000 in debt, the average college graduate is 50-90% higher!

  • it is funny to me how great the economy seems from the perspective of the rich. Rich guy on the left.

  • Lol, a Republican strategist (attorney) vs. a Cheif Economist about the US economy - and the attorney try to sound like he knows more about economy, than the Economist - So funny to watch the republican PR machine at work :)

  • Inflation is ruuning wild, but the paper manipulated stats wont show you - you might earn more, but you can buy less. The US dollar is going to crash.

  • Yeah the paper unemployment is down and stocks are up but the real pay is not up! My money buys me less not then it used to, to begin with and prices keep climbing! So that's why I'm not happy with he economy, Plus the US dollar is now almost the same as the Canadian Dollar, we have a problem!

  • will you people to the south please get up and save your dam country ok. this is from a concerned Canadian from the north

  • "Their savings are going to their equity" What a stupid statement. Home owners dont own their house until they have paid that off - the banks do. None of these 'home owners' hold the title of their house while they still owe money to the banks do they? OMFG no fucking common sense.

  • I'd like to see perjury laws apply to anyone who appears on CNBC, and all news broadcasts. Then we might get real news.

  • The stock market is BOGUS its inflation creating the big numbers. Millionaires are NOT rich like a millionaire was, the dollar is worthless.

  • What does America produce?

    Nothing but vulgarity and violence.

    Masses of good people have nothing in America because there are no jobs to be had. We shall soon be breathing the toxic fumes of a new global morality, or didn't you know?

    Gen-Xer's know all of this. It's a picture show. Wave the flag but love the dollar. America O the land of the jobless consumer. Dig? People are poor because they have morality.

  • The Real estate Profits are BOGUS! These rich talking heads speak to the public as if it wer stupid enough not to know Real Estate is overvalued! The biggest bubble in history. ATTACK THE MIDDLE CLASS while we create fake real estate wealth!

  • Here is a great set of economic indicators we should give Bush credit for as of July 18, 2007:

    U.S. Trade Deficit Widened 2.3% in May to $60 Billion

    U.S. Foreclosures Increase 87 Percent as Prices Fall

    Al-Qaeda Is More Capable of Attacking West, U.S. Report Says

    Crude Oil at $73.48

    Euro at $1.3773

    More Subprime Woes to Come

    The real joke is all the talking heads that yak on and on but provide no real data.

  • And the president? In his ranch playing with his grown up men toys.

  • You are right on Galaor55.

    Elites are destroying this country and pitting one American against the other in the age old "divide and conquer" strategy.

  • How is Bush looking to you now?

  • And most of the clothing Americans put on their backs is made in China. Imagine the profits companies make off our backs...I'm talking about US brand names btw...

  • Christian said "why are people borrowing so much" Right.People are too in debt and are left with fewer savings. Inflation is like a river going on and on and consumer borrowing without saving is like standing on the bank.Some day you'll be old and you'll be nowhere.

  • Unbelievable! We are involved in the most costly police action of all time half a trillion and rising and you really think healthcare will bankrupt us?

    There is no left or right, that is a fantasy, to keep us fighting for scraps.

    The politicians are all owned by the same people.

    What will the current administration have to do before people will wake up? Dumb Americans, believe everything they see on tv or everything rush says, stupid!

  • i guess i must have missed the long lines to the soup kitchens. seriously, some people have expectations way out of proportion to reality. you need to study, train, work and save. if you are so inclined, there are plenty of opportunities, as we have steady growth, low inflation and many job openings. being optimistic about the status quo may be a fantasy; thinking it could be much better is even worse, and it comes from people who lack emotional maturity.

  • America is in very deep da da.

  • If the economy is great, why have wages been stagnant? Almost 6 out of 10 workers changed jobs last year based on the US Treasurers published remarks recently. How much of the labor force is a temporary contractor at this point? How is debt being used as income good for the economy when that means all assets are over priced? Why do corporations treat labor with hostility since 2001?

    If you impoverish labor, you impoverish the nation!

  • The economy is great for the 300,000 people at the top that have more wealth than all the rest of us combined!

    I can't believe the people that blame it on the liberals?

    What liberals got us into this police action?

  • Best defence. if your poor its your own fault.lol

  • Why is the US not cracking down on CHINA flooding

    the market with cheap products. Putting millions

    out of work. Then at the same time the US is flooded

    with illegal aliens. I don't understand it anymore.

  • bexler53:

    PROFIT PROFIT PROFIT. This is really all that matters to the people at the top. The more restrictions they place on Chinese manufacturers, the more expensive production becomes.

    and the illegal aliens? Google "North American Union." For added anger, and a reason to NEVER vote Rudy Giuliani, Google "NAFTA Superhighway." Again, it will all come down to profit (NAFTA Superhighway = shipping companies can bypass US ports, avoiding trade unions).

  • Jack, you need to get a new line, the left ain't runnin our economy!

    Christian cited #'s all you have are put downs of the left. You know our economy is fixed and on it's way to a crash but you in the status quo want to blame it on jack frost or the easter bunny!

  • Christian kicked his butt! Christian kicked his butt! Christian Kicked his butt!!!!
