  • Oo! Oo! No, wait! Here's an even better idea than digging holes and filling them in! Get this: we pay people to go around and break stuff! You know, smash windows, steal things, loot, so forth. That way people will be forced to buy a bunch of new stuff, thus stimulating production and saving the economy!

    I could get a job working for the President's Working Group!

  • Liberals are by definition, total and complete failures. Tens of thousands of dollars spent on Ivy League educations, only to emerge as brainwashed scientologists who champion failed systems....doesn't make much sense at all does it?

  • Hey Nick Gillespie, nice leather jacket!

  • Thomas Sowell's Housing Boom and Bust is a great book regarding the crash.

    Nick took the hole digging idea from Milton Friedman.

  • Because the banks were forced by the government to give loans to people who could not afford it. The banking system and the housing markets were literally sabotaged by the government.

  • @pgibson78 Unfortunatly people decide to save money when the government wants spending. In the long term its smart to save in short term you want to spend. There is an alternative, put money into health care so people are healthier and businesses dont go broke over medical costs.

  • @Wormtail81 well theres lack of alternatives because someone must have benefit and responsibiity. Government is socialism, private enterprise capitalism and coops never save a cent. Government could charge the actual cost of insuring financial institutions and give money to states so they wouldint fire the same time feds hire. Thats why stimulus didnt work!

  • Nick Gillespie is a Big Business Bitch.

    Libertarians suck !

  • @WGIF44 Perverse government incentives, overregulation, and an expansionary monetary policy.

    Yes, Paul Krugman is wrong, and you should admit it.

  • 'Republicans believe the best way to assure prosperity is to generate more jobs. The Democrats believe in more welfare.'

    -Ronald Reagan

  • One of the best general articles that accurately explains the economic crisis in essential terms is: "The Crisis in 10 Points" by Robert Stewart.

  • Show us a viable alternative. And please don't say, "Socialism."
