[metal1324]

hahaha good old fashoned sexism

[paullybs]

has anyone noticed that the guy who looks like a grocer, looks and sounds like Moe from the 3 stooges? although I thought his nose was to big  thoughts?

[RogerOnTheRight]

It is Moe.

[josiemax]

That was great! The government should run that ad on tv today, dubbing in "Obama" for "Roosevelt." Gotta love Jimmy Durante.

[Holcombi]

@josiemax jackass

[deltapunk21]

Notice at 22 seconds he salutes his fascist fuhrer FDR just like the youthnazis today with be taught how to salute Obama.

[infrogmation]

Um, he's holding up his hand to stop the applause so he can speak.

[RedStateProgressive]

Roosevelt is the reason we didn't have fascism in the United States. If he'd never been elected, we'd have had a fascist government in the Depression.

Also, why don't you learn what that word means? Fascism is a right-wing ideology. Obama is not a right-winger, he's at best a moderate liberal. Nazism was right-wing. Learn a little about what you're arguing before you argue it.

[bush1tman]

Mussolini was left wing. The father of fascism. He admired Roosevelt and vice versa. Who would have led a fascist America is Roosevelt was not elected?

[pezcore68]

@bush1tman

yeah, and i guess hitler was a leftist too? you are in need of a reality check. go talk to an italian or a german, ask them those leaders were left or right. just dont go into shock when what you want to believe doesnt match up with reality.

[bush1tman]

@pezcore68 Mussolini was leftist in the 20's and 30's. Why would I ask a German or an Italian about it? What a silly experiment. I saw Russian youth celebrating Hitler's birthday on TV the other day. I should ask him maybe?

[Italiasalbion]

Wow, did you see him conning the socks of the "hypochondriac?!" Can you say, spiraling costs of healthcare????? Talk about a vicious cycle: big gov creates crisis, then "solves" it with more big gov, which creates more crisis, which "requires" more big gov, which creates more crisis...

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

I dont follow you, can you outline this?

[Italiasalbion]

Sure. The Gov. encourages people to spend their savings on healthcare, that they don't "need." This creates medical jobs, until the savings run out. Then, the consumers "need" to be bailed out. So, the Gov. forces employers/taxpayers to pay for it. This enables consumers to spend on healthcare, like money is no object. So, prices go up. The whole thing gets defended with a lot of self-righteousness, but it's just a scam, to create jobs. We'd be better off without it and probably healthier!

[Italiasalbion]

I forgot to add, since prices went up so much, the old bailouts aren't working. So, consumers are screaming for a bigger bailout and Gov is working on it. Hence, Obama tells us to get used to multiple trillion dollar annual deficits!

China's growth has slowed considerably, since The U.S. and Europe went into recession. China mimics The West. Chinese have a very high savings rate. Their Gov wants to tap into this savings, to stimulate consumer spending, in order to replace growth from exports.

[Italiasalbion]

In order to achieve that, The Chinese Gov is telling its people, they will provide them with a social safety net (free education and healthcare). This way, The Chinese people won't have to save anymore; they can be consumers, just like us! lol Soon, they won't save very much and will become as dependent on Gov Programs as we are. Their taxes will swell, as their programs grow big and fat. Only question is, who will they borrow money from, when their people run out of savings, but not demand.

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

GOTCHYA!! I never saw it that way! Thats great, do you have any sources or people that give an indepth understanding of this process. It seems like economic patchwork from this perspective, kind of a leaky boat which is still floating by "bailing" but no one is fixing the leak. IF this is the case, at some point in near future, next 100 years, we will see a necessary, economically driven revolution. Or not?

[Italiasalbion]

Here's a good video on our own Medicare problem, "US Government Immorality Will Lead to Bankruptcy"

[RedStateProgressive]

It's immoral to provide healthcare to the elderly? You must have some warped ideas of what's moral.

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

Hey, I just started reading some of Edward Bernays work yesterday, "father of public relations", and it really gives perspective on this video.

[Italiasalbion]

There's some videos on that on YouTube.

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

HAHA, totally get it now

[Italiasalbion]

Bernays sounds like he was just encouraging wickedness. Albeit, skillfully. Still, I wouldn't call that a virtue. lol You could sum it up in a cliche: sex (lust) sells and then add, so does envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, wrath and vanity. Oh Vanity!

Napoleon's favorite Bible quote, "there's nothing new under The Sun." That was written by King Solomon, about one thousand years before Christ or about three thousand years after Creation. A tad earlier than Bernays. lol

[Buddy212002]

First, I'm writing; not speaking and secondly it's obvious that you have a partisan political agenda that you think is objective truth. Please tell us oh great professor how did Hoover lay the ground work for the New Deal?

[Buddy212002]

More words. Not so sure of yourself now are you? Where does oppressive usury fit into your grand plan or sending jobs off the Red China so that slaves can make your consumer goods? The "free market" you speak of is a myth and you are in denial. Soon you may be out of a job and you will have more time to lecture people about inflation. You belong on the trash heap of history will Coolidge, Hoover and Reagan.

[ElectusAnimus]

Hoover? Hoover laid the groundwork for the new deal, Buddyboy. Do some research before speaking.

[Buddy212002]

I'm still waiting...Mr. Know-it-all.

[Buddy212002]

If it is econ 101 then how come your theories have never worked. You have all the answers but NO solutions. You repeat dogma like a communist. Corporations get all the breaks we have to pay for them great system JUGHEAD

[Bjornfree5]

I throughly enjoyed your aticulate post. The Jughead comment was particuly eloquent.

[Buddy212002]

Thank you, that's mighty nice of you. We all need to stand together times are tough and we need to hang in there. No more lies!

[willosk]

Not sure who you're reply was to. I said Econ Gravity 101, meaning you don't get rich through consumption, or grow wealth with reckless debt. Yet that's modern economic theory's goal, and it uses inflation of money / credit to do it. Inflation steals from the poor and mid. classes, and from the real producers, and gives to the politically connected folks and hot money economy bubble-heads. Hence, Wall Street and condo flippers get rich until itbusts. Inflationary growth=lie -never sustains.

[willosk]

LOL. I suppose if you say enough slogans and threats that will help. Hoard proceeds? You should read up a bit on savings. How does a baker buy ovens, train staff, buy flour, etc. to make bread without savings? You think you know better than the baker, or whoever. BTW, I'm not endorsing neo fascist plutocracy that we have in the U.S. But your ideas -- well, two wrongs send us to the same grave: Hyenas fighting over the kill, and its you and me for lunch. Kill special interests, not freedom.

[Bjornfree5]

"Kill special interests". Could you give a realistic method that would work. I know of none. Remember I said realistic. I am not talking about slogans now. Billions of dollars and millions of people lined up at the trough. This is the heart of 'special interests'.

[willosk]

I don't think anyone wants the medicine that will work. It's like trying to get a meth junkie off the meth. The abyss of withdrawal is too painful to contemplate, so the easy and neat (and wrong)choice is always made: more meth. Today they'll choose ++ money supply / bailouts for the corporate elite, and more stimulus packages, all paid for by scalping the productive economy even more. This ain't solving problems- this is decades of gorging on the seed corn. Economic famine is arriving.

[willosk]

Trickle Down Theory? Are you kidding? This is interventionist command economy thinking! Entirely oblivious to production begetting wealth. Give a job only if their productivity helps, not just to waste resources digging and filling ditches.

[Bjornfree5]

My mistake. I neglected to mention the banker received an enormous tax break to broaden his business and thus hire more employees...

[Buddy212002]

Sounds like YOU have a job...Lots of fancy words and ideas won't feed anyone. We need a living wage, no more slave labor, no more supporting slave countries and subsidizing millionares...LVING WAGE, EMPLOYMENT OR REVOLUTION

[willosk]

Then get a dictionary. It's called economic gravity 101: you can't make wealth out of thin air via Congress or taxes. You merely reallocate it from its prior use with politicians and govt. stooges as middlemen. Stupid economic theory and slogans like yours will only make the problems you think your solving worse.

[Bjornfree5]

I do not have a job..I'm retired so I have plenty of time on my hands to man the barricades along with you. Wall street may be imploding as we speak. We shall see if their parachutes will carry them beyond the barricades. I surmise greed and deceit are not as fashionable today as once thought. We shall find out!

[willosk]

I hope they get what's coming to them. They've been earning mega $ million bonuses through legalized counterfeiting via fractional reserve Fed system, which is a banking cartel. Printing money is illegal for you or me because it steals from existing dollar holders and it distorts the economy / makes it dependent on the false stream of new money. That's dead end, buble-bust economics at its worst, and the chickens have come home to roost.

[Buddy212002]

This guy is an expert on "creating wealth." Hey jackass, I know how you create wealth, you enslave people and make products cheaply and then you hoard the proceeds...you can also use indentured servants too. Then weak minds like you will repeat what rich people say. Your time is coming.

[willosk]

I replied to you in the main comments section.
