Trying to fix problems caused by excess consumption with more spending is like telling a fat guy that the way to lose weight is to eat more donuts.

    To everyone making fun or calling Fred stupid. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SARCASM? He obviously is making fun of the current situation. I have never been much of a fan, but this is probably the best speech I ever saw him make.

    Thompson put out the video to do damage control for his stupidity during his so-called Presidential campaign and afterwards. He was talking up the economy until the day it crashed.

    Fred Thompson is the same guy who served as minority counsel during the Senate Watergate Committee hearings and he's the same guy who asked his boss, Attorney General John Mitchell (the only Attorney General in US history ever sent to prison), pertinent questions regarding his involvement in the Watergate scandal.

    They say the average IQ in America is a mere 85, that explains a lot. When you have to explain something that is obviously sarcasm they still won't get it. But they will vote for Obama . . . . again. Pretty sad.

    No it didn't, your living in a dream land if you actually think taking money from one hard working person and giving it someone that doesn't work is going to stimulate the economy.
