Government saved capitalism? Desperate times call for despeate lies. Money flowing away from business into Washington. More regulations, Obamacare, environmentral regulations. This boy needs to grow up.

The author either needs to stop taking drugs, or start doing so at once. Because his present reality is not aligned with this one.

I read the headline and the first sentence. The urge to violently hurl was too great for me to continue.

Can't someone get some investors together and either buy out or hostile takeover that rag?

Effectively, eh? Gee. Why the qualifier? He's qualifying it because he can't quantify it ... no one can.

The sheer LUNACY of leftists. Mike Savage is absolutely correct...liberalism is INDEED a mental disorder. Correcting the nonsensical claims in this article would be an exercise in futility. It would be akin to stating that the moon is NOT made of cheese. The whack-jobs who believe otherwise would not be convinced of their error, facts would be ignored by the left as usual and no amount of data would be convincing to the crippled mind anyway.

Obama saved nothing. He’s bankrupted the nation. The NYT is a communist mouthpiece!!

Capitalism was saved despite Obama, and the liberal Congress, at least for now.
