  • @lewis232323 She blames NIxon in '71 - he was a Republican. Actually, she is completely non-partisan.

  • I love C-Span.

  • A very remarkable leader

  • The system she describes of world currencies pegged to the dollar and dollar pegged to the gold unit is problematic. First, this ordains the US as the reserve currency by default. Second, as the populace ages no government today is going to do this nor is young upstart nation for the risk of the US re-pegging the dollar to gold to essentially print more money will be too great. There is also the problem of when one economy legitimately sprints ahead how will it's currency be re-pegged?

  • @jereuter01 Her description of the central bankers scam of having the US pay handsomely for defense weapons why loaning money to the USSR is hardly a Right Wing stance. She appears to be a Libertarian which probably scares you even more as she is against handout-government, something both Republicans (Medicare Drug benefit to buy 2004 Presidential Election) and Democrats do.

  • this is a smart lady, and I agree some of her ideas, but she lose me when he get partisans. She is pretty solid and even handed, until she talks about the left, all of a sudden she sounds like every thing that went wrong was because of the Democrats. Its a shame, such a smart lady seem to think the right is always right and all our problems is because of the left.

  • And dunk your head in a baptismal font while you're at it...

  • Golfpro: I never said those folks assert Capitalism to be "all wrong" however Freedman absolutest/purist brand of it has been discredited, admission made by Greenspan in homest moment of disbelief. I don't understand your "Did I miss..." comment. "Those" men were hardly in agreement, that's why we strive for a "more perfect union." By the way, muslims memorize Koran & I can say the old Catholic mass in Latin...so what? BTW, Emory U had dish tracking Russia back then - I helped install it.

  • If we would just burn all the laws we have all the rules we have all the taxs we have and start all over with the constitution and the bill of rights we would be reborn.

  • Did I miss somthing the rights we have today came from men who lived under a systems like what Joseph Stiglitz and Naomi Klein's would like us all to have now. I like what Michael Hudson said on 6 min with Mike Hudson. To say Capitalisim is all wrong isnt the answer.
