[When Washington can control the economy, please alert me. Until then, their rhetoric is little more than flatulence.]

It certainly does control the economy, unless you believe huge deficits had no detrimental effects on our position. Gingrich and Paul would rein in the Fed, which would have a huge impact on the economy, causing a difficult (but needed) austerity leading to a drop oin spending.

I believe your rhetoric is the flatulence source. I could write a whole book on the subject of Washington’s ability to influence the economy.

Please include an addendum on the EU’s control of our European friends buoyant economies. You might also include a brilliant recital of control economies in the Eastern bloc.
