John Stossel's Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics (2/6)

stupid Negroes......just give them fried chicken and watermelon

[diehardzeppelinfan]

i want to let the "bubble" to get worse and worse actually. I really want these liberals to see the consequences of what they caused on a DRAMATIC scale. This belief that we need the government to "change" must end. People must reassume power and I think we need a real big knock to the nuts to realize that. Sorry if I sound cruel, but right now it seems like it's the only way.

One of my dreams is to get a moustache like Stossel's.

Whenever barney frank speaks, it sounds like he's got a cucumber (or something the same shape) lodged permanently in his mouth.

[detest4321]

Great job Stossel. So sick of tv, all you normally hear is how we should do whatever OUR government employees want.

[libertarianjury]

Is that "Boards of Canada" at 1:28 ? Awesome, awesome show...

[libertarianjury]

Barack Obama is a moronic fuck.

[PanzerKampfWagen29]

@libertarianjury But Bush & Palin are geniuses

[safewaysecurity]

@PanzerKampfWagen29 genius's retard.

[PaganMars]

@safewaysecurity "genius's" is the possessive, not the plural... genius... :/

They're missing the elephant in the room- the Federal Reserve, the one institution with the power to set off economy-wide malinvestments that ended in a bust of this magnitude.

"We've gotta fix it, give us the authoritah!"

[burnmetodeath]

John Stossel is my hero.

[mratomix]

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention home loans to people that had no way to pay it back.

[PanzerKampfWagen29]

@mratomix that was the fault of the banks.

[ak47523]

@PanzerKampfWagen29 Mortgage Loan Officers were told by state, federal, and even local bureaucrats to give everyone loans. And now they want to blame "speculators.."

[mratomix]

There are many fucked up sectors and deregulation for sure fucked up the economy AND destroyed systems of taxation.

[nurbSoldier]

Proof?

[marvinf2]

I think it's refreshing to see someone like Stossel speak to this effect. I'd never heard anything about it. Had Limbaugh been the only one (or anyone of his ilk) talking about it. Thanks for sharing.

[MrCropper]

This is the FIRST time I've heard about the government pressuring the banks. It WOULD be Stossel who finally speaks out.

You think gov will fix this? Gov CREATED this mess.

[HerrSchenkel]

I know he's a bit bombastic, but Rush Limbaugh knows his economics and has been talking about this for well over a month. But it's good that finally someone on television is exposing it as well.
