This from the link on the first post on your blog with the tag "economy"
"This is a much stronger expansion in a lot of ways," White House spokesman Tony Fratto told The Examiner. "It's much deeper and more measured."
Well I hate to burst your bubble but the last several years proves that pure capitalism isn't working. Corporations WILL NOT police themselves...for one.
Doesn't prove that at all. The financial industry was corrupted by Dem interference. Until then, they had more stringent requirements for loans and such. The auto industry did what it felt like doing and indstead of letting them fail, or do the hard work of fixing their own mistakes, bail outs are provided. When the market is truly allowed to be free, then we can determine what it will do on it's own.
neoconservatism privatized the gains, while socializing the losses
it's part of the script
so much for the myth of "free trade"
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not examples of pure capitalism.
+ what Marshall said.
you guys moving the goal posts doesn't work a whit except on your choir. Always finding your most hated enemy and then blaming them for everything. Childish and boring. You guys aren't even a challenge anymore. I have nothing to prove to you.
You aren't capitalists Rockefeller is a Capitalist. DuPont is a Capitalist. The old time robber barons were capitalists. A capitalist lives off the profits of their CAPITAL. They have enough money and investments (i.e. "capital") to generate enough return to live on (usually very well). If you work for your pay, you are NOT a capitalist. People seem to think that capitalism just means making a profit. You might believe in the idea of capitalism in the hopes that one day you will be a capitalist, but until your bank account is supporting you – and not the other way around, you aren’t one.It’s a very exclusive club to belong to, but not a political ideology. See ya suckers.
ron, that's actually a very succinct way of putting it
i'd always said that the idea of a "middle class" has become a lie, either you wait for your paycheck, or you live off your interest
