Nassim Taleb Criticizes Obama, Bernanke, and Summers

Why didn't Obama go and run for presidency in a socialist country? Why did he decide to run in a capitalist country? He is doing everything 180 degrees off where it should be.

Hey! I believe in Sana damn it! LOL!!!!!

Taleb is one of the few people who make sense. Summers is stupid, ignorant and greedy son of a bitch.

"Harvard endowment is down by 1/3, officially...
but if you were to mark-to-market: that would be more interesting... :-)"

Ouch!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Taleb is finally talking about the Federal Reserve. He would mumble on the subject before.
Sneaky dude... Very sneaky dude.

He still has not come up with the proposal of how to cover Medicare and Social Security entitlements.

Someone is reading Von Mises!

all the supportors of obama are a bunch of hypocrites. when bush was in power they mobilised mass protests against the war, but now that a democrat is in power the organisers cannot get anyone to volenteer to take action against the continuing wars

I dont know where you live, but there are anti war efforts taking place ALL THE TIME. You're thinking about it during the last 9-10 months... stretch it out over the next 3 years and its about the same rate as the last administration.

His complaint isn't really about taxes per se, but rather the effect taxes can have on rewarding failure and punishing success. I agree with his analysis of how the Obama Administration is working with the same finance industry/economist insiders who helped steer us toward this mess.

I'm a big fan of this gentleman, think he is fantastic. You can apply his logic in a number of ways.
