People should stop having kids. Wall Street and Government do not want you to stay in you homes, forcing foreclosures. Homes are made to keep kids inside.  Since people cant keep their homes, people should stop having kids and get vasectomies. Read the Grapes of Wrath. Tent Cities.

Feel free to reread my comments if you'd like to be sure, but I haven't stated that WWII increased our GDP, did I?

The Great Depression wasn't ended by government intervention as some people claim, it was ended by American productivity.

In particular, unemployment continued to be high until the war as make work jobs were completed. Dead and wounded Americans reduced the labor pool by 1 million. After the war a permanent Military Industrial Complex was created employing millions more.

Actually the Federal Reserve was responsible for the bubble of the 1920s that popped causing the initial recession. Hoover and FDR then prolonged the recovery with government intervention. The Fed actively contracted the money supply worsening the crisis as well. FDR was a terrible President from both a Constitutional and Fiscal standpoint. FDR also violated Americas neutrality before Pearl Harbor and worked to get us into WWII by antagonizing Germany and Japan. FDR gets an F in my book.

Hoover intervened in the economy, but failed to coerce prosperity to return. It is not historically accurate to say he "did nothing." Although, you could say he accomplished nothing good.

Obama has urged Congress to pass stimulus legislation to "fix" the economy and has spoken at length numerous times of his belief that if the government spends enough, it will get the economy back on track. He is FDR.

If Obama does even more (and he may), he will leave FDR behind and become Mao Zedong.

Obama's only been in office for, what, 2 months? This is asinine. Are we really going to listen to the whining of Jim Cramer, the guy who was shouting "buy!buy!" when the Dow was 12K, 11K, 10K, 9K... who said "buy Bear Stearns!" He's been wrong CONSISTENTLY. Where's the Nobel Prize winning economist who happens to agree with Obama's plan? Have you noticed how much the whining has increased when the talking heads realized that their own million dollar salaries will be taxed? Hoover? That was Bush

[eekdog2005]

Both parties have been digging this hole we're in and they're about to start shoveling the dirt on the american tax payers heads. END THE FED, vote out the criminals from both parties. You may need to remove them from power physically, they are building up a police force right now to protect themselves from us, we the people.

[jokertim777]

If we're going to make historical comparisons, can we at least be accurate about it. Obama isn't Hoover. Bush was Hoover. He admitted abandoning "free market" principles for intervention. Remember the 1st "stimulus" plan check you received? Hoover intervened, Bush intervened. Obama is clearly FDR (and that's NOT a good thing). He will (and is) escalate intervention (like FDR) and guarantee a depression. Saving the banking system is not the goal, but rather scrapping it for a global one.

To all of you Obama-maniacs, you will work forever because Obama trashed your 401K retirment plan. Now thats what I call Hope & Change and all you idiots deserve it.

And Chris Matthews, I get a tingle up my leg watching the Dow dive and your MSNBC retirement dwindle.

[truthforall01]

all these polls are BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TRUST THEM

[DillonX]

Crammer has been wrong about so many things I see no reason to believe anything he says now.

[JExecutiveOrder11110]

Uh, this video is centered around Chris Matthews, but I appreciate your disdain for " Crammer " after all you said the exact same thing on another video.

[darwinx0101]
