Bush, at the very least loved his country. Sure, he could have done a better job, but it’s night and day.

Obama doesn’t love his country. How could anyone who loves America attend Rev. Wright’s church for 2 decades?

I miss Bush, he is a good man.

I’m an amateur welder. You don’t form steel or join it together without heating it to the point where unfamiliar onlookers would think you were destroying it. Sparks fly, burning paint makes smoke, the metal becomes red or yellow-white hot. The torch’s flame is blue-white and blinding and fearsome in itself.

Then you do what you need to do. After the metal cools down it’s fine and you have accomplished what could be done in no other way.

We’re now reforming and rejoining some of the pieces of our society. The good work we’re doing doing can’t be done any other way.

Sometimes there are left over scraps. No problem with that.

That’s the best part. Keynesianism was never really a theory bought into by American politicians so much as it was an excuse for spending.

Of course, Keynes’s realization that you have to save during the good times wasn’t quite that strong. Keynes subscribed to G.F. Knapp’s chartalist theory that holds (roughly) that money is created by government expenditure, that it derives its sole value from the ability to redeem it to discharge tax obligations, and that the only way to achieve a positive net money supply (and therefore positive net savings) is through government deficit spending.

I’d go into everything wrong with that theory, but better minds than mine, like Hayek and Friedman, have already done so far more thoroughly than I could.

Zuckerman is a typical dime-store paperback liberal jew who cares nothing and knows nothing as long as it benefits Israel.
