Deregulation is the answer? Has this not been de-bunked a thousand times over yet?
How about the US actually make something that the world wants to buy, wouldn't that be better?


not really.
i think the death is in the details.
regulations have literally brought americas manufacturing to its knees.
they could not compete with so much regulation weighing in against their profit margin.
this is where the financial district became so appealing.
so where GM would offer a 3% on avg return,it was the DEREGULATED financial institutions who could offer up to 20%.
while unrealistic in the long run,you cant blame an investor for jumping on the bandwagon,anyone of us would have.
im not saying that the regulations in finance should be blanket,just the safegaurds that were slowly,over twenty years,picked away and brought us the disaster we find ourselves in today.
glass/steagle to be specific,but there were a myriad of safegaurds that the financial institutions lobbied to excise.
i agree with schiff on many things.
giving financial institutions free reign is not one of them.
the biggest thing i DO agree on is america needs to go back to manufacturing again.
in peter schiff's book "crash proof" he does not make it sound like that is going to be a walk in the park,but it is utterly vital that we sacrifice and start making the changes now.
article 76 of the federalist papers,alexander hamilton laid out an industrial nation plan.which america followed until the late 70's.
it was a outline that had america importing more raw material,manufacturing and lending more than ANY other nation in the world.
those statistics have literally flipped.
by definition,america is a third world nation.
one of the worst shifts in the american philosophy was going from "making/building stuff was good"
to...
"greed is good".
now..milton friedman said greed was good but that was based on the assumption people were playing by the rules of the free market.
and those rules have been ignored for almost thirty years.
we do not have a free market,we have an oligarchy of corporations.
the free market works.
this is a main reason why i am for a single payer system.
bring in the health insurance that will force the industry to cut its fat,and lower prices.
everybody wins.
thats my 2c's anyways.

Excellent jab at the Morning Joe show's Starbucks sponsorship.

How is this video different from this one?

Since we're in the initial, formative hours of the creation of the channel, I'll submit to the community whether nearly pure commentary from the mouths of pundits should be part of the "news" channel.

Take these two videos:

http://politics.videosift.com/video/John-McCain-Blames-Barack-Obama-For-high-Price-Of-Gas
http://politics.videosift.com/video/Andrew-Card-Laughed-Off-Of-Morning-Joe-for-Time-Horizon

My inclination is to say they should be included simply because of the source, if not the content, but I'd love to hear others weigh in.

So rather than set a timeline, they have made time non-linear, they are fucking GENIUSES. With this technology they could solve the world's energy problems in about ten minutes. That's MINUS ten minutes to you people still working with linear time.

Finally Gene Ray is getting the recognition he deserves. Four Corner Time, Cubes Earth!

Ahh, thanks for sifting. I caught some of this this morning. Joe Leiberman was on before Clark and I don't remember what he was saying now...I just remember thinking he was a d-bag.
Really though, who is "qualified" to be president? I think it's disingenuous to say Obama isn't qualified to be POTUS...or McCain for that matter. The Constitution doesn't say the President needs to be an Ivy League grad, in the top of their class, etc. Hell, Larry the Cable Guy could get elected...since elections are partially popularity contests anyways. But who know's, he could actually do a good job.

After following the news for some time I have come to this conclusion:
Fox News = anti-Obama
CNN = Pro-Democrat
MSN = Pro-Obama (except morning Joe Scarbourogh show)
I admire NewsHour with Jim Lehrer (PBS) and CSPAN.


Really, CNN is Pro-Democrat? I don't watch a lot of CNN, but I generally think of them as Fox-lite these days.

MSNBC is all over the map in my opinion. Olbermann is strongly pro-Obama, but the rest of the network is pretty neutral. Except all the Republican analysts are uniformly pro-Clinton, though I find that's consistent right now across all media everywhere.

PBS is wonderful. It reminds me what real TV journalism looks like. They try their best to provide an even-handed report of the facts, sans spin.
