Santelli is the man!
Reich is advocating the 'same old worn out policies' that got us into this mess. Which is why Republicans lost the last couple of elections. If you're broke, you stop spending. You don't go into the basement and fire up the printing press. This is a fundamental difference. We are built today on a house of cards, that would be paper, and it will fall with Obama's plans.
TSF Protests!

I disagree with Reich on just about everything, but I respect him a great deal.  He is honest, intelligent, straight-forward, and willing to engage politely with those who likely will disagree with him.  If every liberal were like Reich, we would have disagreements about politics, but without the win-at-any-cost, ethics-be-damned discourse conservatives are forced to endure with the leftist dominated MSM.

Of course, a trillion more for the IMF, best known for propping up 3rd-world totalitarian dictators will be a complete waste, just like most of the rest of the "stimulus" we're printing money for.

If only more people in the media would question this empty suit.  My Pomeranian understands more about economics that this Clinton re-tread. 

First of all a trillion to the IMF is just stupid and then entertaining the belief that somehow giving money to some 3rd world country is going to help the economy is just staggeringly stupid.   IF they get it at all, you might as well call it charity because they'll learn nothing, nothing will be permanent...it can't be.  It will be an endless drain unless THEY decide to do something for themselves.

Anyone believing that the US giving MORE money away at this point is an idiot or evil or has spent too much time community organizing with NO results other than vote fraud. 

Go Santelli!  He's exactly right, we shouldn't be pledging money without knowing how it will be spent.  This is why so much of the tarp/bailout money went overseas.  I'm not big on giving money to foreign countries, but if we want to help others, first we have to help ourselves.

Hoover did not cut taxes, he raised them dramatically! Reich just spews more Hoover propaganda...

Dispelling The Herbert Hoover Myth (CBS News)

"After the stock market crash of 1929, Hoover browbeat business leaders to keep wages and prices high. He invested heavily in public works projects. He pushed for an international moratorium on debts. He created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which later became a home for many of FDR’s Brain Trusters. Hoover increased farm subsidies enormously.

In 1932, Hoover in effect repealed Calvin Coolidge's tax cuts, increasing the rates for the poorest taxpayers by more than 100 percent and hiking the top rate from 25 percent to 63 percent. Worse, contrary to his own better instincts, Hoover signed the disastrous Smoot-Hawley trade bill that raised protectionist walls at precisely the moment the world needed trade the most."

But nothing is as devastating as Herbert Hoover's own words...

"We might have done nothing. That would have been utter ruin. Instead we met the situation with proposals to private business and to Congress of the most gigantic program of economic defense and counterattack ever evolved in the history of the Republic. We put it into action.... No government in Washington has hitherto considered that it held so broad a responsibility for leadership in such times.... For the first time in the history of depression, dividends, profits, and the cost of living, have been reduced before wages have suffered.... They were maintained until the cost of living had decreased and the profits had practically vanished. They are now the
highest real wages in the world.

Creating new jobs and giving to the whole system a new breath of life; nothing has ever been devised in our history which has done more for ... "the common run of men and women." Some of the reactionary economists urged that we should allow the liquidation to take its course until we had found bottom.... We determined that we would not follow the advice of the bitter-end liquidationists and see the whole body of debtors of the United States brought to bankruptcy and the savings of our people brought to destruction." - Herbert Hoover, 1932

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is Not Pollution

Reich: "I just want to respond to this notion - I mean, a trillion, $1.1 trillion for the IMF, for poorer nations is a very, very major victory," Reich said. "I mean, these poor nations have been taking a beating. They're half of the global economy. If they don't come back, we are all in trouble."

It is not clear here exactly what is meant by the poorer nations, but if for example we are talking about the nations outside G20, I would be surprised if they accounted for as much as 10% of the world economy.  Is anyone able to amplify upon this?

Impunitas semper ad deteriora invitat.

Robert Reich and his ilk are the front men for the IMF and World Bank mafia.

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

Don Marquis 1878-1937

Leave it to Reich, an incompetent shyster and Berkeley professor...aka, a lifelong parasite existing solely off the labors of others...to advocate for more wasteful government spending.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

I'm grateful that he is willing to speak out.

Mr. Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

I am taller than you and I am also intellectially superior to you, because I am a capitalist and you are a wormy marxist runt.

Thanks for coming.
