I wonder if Obama is going to issue a Executive Order requiring 100% taxation of all personal income over $24,000 per year, as FDR did.

Never ever forget this: If Barney Frank likes the idea, it’s bad for America.

And he talks funny.

They don’t have to confiscate gold. They can just make sure the banking system, which they now control, refuses to accept gold as a currency...or to regulate it so much that it’s diseconomic.

Barney Frank is one of the most vile and disgusting humans ever to scrape his skin upon the face of the earth. His demagoguery is surpassed only by the obnoxiousness of his visual and aural presence.

Confiscating Gold was done before. It is the liberals who are against private property.

Remember, Barney Frank ran a prostitution ring from his apt.

The ‘new deal’ extended the Depression for seven years. It would have extended it longer if not for WWII. So we are looking at an indefinite depression and/or War if these policies are used as a template.

Someone inform Miss Frank that the ‘Rats have two years and then this whole Leftist charade comes to a screeching halt...Just like 1980 & 1996, ‘Rats screw up & the GOP is left to clean up the mess.

The principle that you don't go back and do things retroactively is a very important liberal principle."

Except when it's 1993 and you pass a retroactive income tax increase, eh Bwaney?

We should disallow personal relationships between regulated industries and Congressmen.

We should institute risk curbs on publicly advantaged lenders.

We should require bank lenders to institute sound lending practices.

Of course these steps would mean Bawney Fwank can’t bang Fannie Directors, force Fannie & Freddie to take more risk and trash bank lending standards.

Look in the mirror Bawney. You ARE the problem.

This government is just plain evil.

Take away from Ameican family and it to the WORLD F--- Y-- Government

They take 40-50% of people’s income and their families have to do without.

Give you an example, when you buy a loaf of bread at the store, it’s been taxed over 30%,cars,30%,phone bill 30%, cable bill tax 30%,gas and electric.Gas 70C in Md

I could go on and on and on put all of these charges are hidden from the public Now they want to take some of social security away from people. The government already took the cost of food and energy out of the CPI basket so they don't have to give the high cost of living to people to keep up with the cost of inflation. Before they make any changes to social security, they should make changes to the money we give out to the United Nations and all other foreign aide. Then the social security comes out of my check which is 8%. My company pays the other 8%. If the government would have let me kept my money, I could have invested it at 4-5% a year, I would have over a million dollars. What does the government do with all that money that people don’t collect? Like my sister, that worked all of her life and never collected one social security check. She died at 55 with no children

with his guarantee of new financial industry regulations “comparable” to FDR’s New Deal.

Seriously, I believe him.
I do not think that we are going to slow down Hussein’s plans or the left wing agenda more than a couple of days.

And we ain’t seen nothing yet.
It is going to pile up so fast that you will need wings to stay above it.
By this time next year, I think that 90 - 100% of everything that the left had hoped for will be done.
Wait until Amnesty passes in this same rush, and with GOP support, as well.
