Progressive American Think Tank (CPER) Begs Bernanke (U.S. Taxpayers) To Bail Out Spain

It's one thing for liberals to demand one group of Americans pay for another group of Americans, with a third group's money of course (until it runs out), but when a progressive think tank actually has the temerity to tell Bernanke that Europe is not socialist enough, and thus needs liberal US support, that's when things just get plain old silly.

Which incidentally, is precisely what the progressive brains of Mark Weisbrot and Dean Baker, co-directors of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research, have done. Naturally, we are all for a humanistic effort; we also believe in leading by example.

If Messrs. Weisbrot and Baker would first be kind enough to divest themselves of all their earthly possessions and bank account contents, which should be Fedexed and wired in the direction of Spain post haste, it would make their transparently theatrical pursuit of pseudo-noble causes just that more palatable to the masses who already are on the verge of poverty, and are now being asked to bail out other countries.

THE MESSIAH, BLACK JESUS is endangered by this constant stream of bad economic news. this must not be allowed to continue, no matter the cost to the taxpayers.

What matter the Muppets, when compared to THE GLORY OF OBAMA? What does a little inflation matter?

And here, I thought the Messiah Obama told us that "THE ERA OF BAILOUTS IS OVER!", back in 2010? I must be a RASSIS!, or a phobe, or sumpin, for remembering that inconvenient truth.

Wait..

I hear a knock at the door. It looks like the Obama Truth Squad/Thought Police. Back in a moment....

Exactly. We’re looking at `Lord of the Flies’ with the alternate ending. Who rescues the rescuers?

“Begs” Bernanke to bail out Spain?

I’m cautious and suspicious. Seems to me the modus-operandi here would be that the regime might want this to happen, and to get it moving, has another entity (prog. think tank) to “beg Bernanke” as the cover catalyst to make it happen.

Some day soon, this kind of blatant insanity and wilfull crime, will be stopped.

Either the good guys will destroy it with their bare hands or the whole thing will go over the clift.
