You know what's creepy? When I read the comments it's like I'm eavesdropping on Robert having a conversation with his friends. That def feels a little weird.

But.... she was not wrong. With all due respect to the congressman's degrees and honors, he is "out-ranked" and out-voted by the large majority of economists in the WORLD who say we were within a "margin call" of a total collapse of the banking system both HERE (in America) and around the civilized world... and another market collapse that would have made '29 look like a ticker-tape parade! :hellno: I don't know much about Contessa. She's not my favorite "skirt" on news shows, but SHE also graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in public communications/Journalism. I found it interesting that the Congressman, who certainly "is" an Economist, isn't on ANY budget/finance committees in Congress. So.... maybe he's not totally "up on" all the economic or financial considerations in Congress today over our Debt Ceiling Default. Or... maybe, as a junior congressman, he's just "toting the party line" and repeating the authorized mantra that denies we would REALLY go into default, or that our debt rating would "really" be damaged for the next 10 years! Either way.... he's definitely in the minority of Economists out there today in his views. Contessa, having heard SO MANY others disagree with him, MUST have had a moment of "on air" journalistic DISBELIEF.... and accidentally stuck her FOOT in there while her jaw was on the floor! :lol::lol: But, I must add this. I was impressed with the fact that a junior Congressman from Alabama (is it?) would BE a well-educated and stable "professional." Y'all got ENOUGH "uneducated commoners" in Congress during the last election. They're called Tea Party Caucus members. I know how GMAN hates these other types... lawyers and "smart fellers," but... making LAWS really "IS" a job for grownups! :deal::thumbsup:

Another CEO of a successful company who doesn't know what he's talking about :roll: [sarcasm intended]

But... the PEOPLE have no money to spend.... if they HAVE NO JOBS! HE is panicking because he sees people restricting their spending to FOOD, Education, GAS, and POWER bills, and not so much in things like appliances and LIGHTING! :hellno: But, let's LOOK at his comments in this video, or actually some quotes from it that are part of the accompanying article.... which is what I will quote and discuss: Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus Blasts Obama Economy | TheBlaze.com The "accompanying article" from somebody at TheBlaze:
In an interview with Investor’s Business Daily (IBD), Marcus blasted Obama and his policies, saying “even brain-dead economists understand that when you raise taxes, you cost jobs.”
Marcus: As he speaks about cutting out regulations, they are now producing thousands of pages of new ones. With just ObamaCare by itself, you have a 2,000 page bill that’s probably going end up being 150,000 pages of regulations.
Marcus: I‘m not sure Obama would understand anything that I’d say, because he’s never really worked a day outside the political or legal area. He doesn’t know how to make a payroll, he doesn’t understand the problems businesses face.
Marcus: They [CEO's] are frightened to death — frightened that they will have the IRS or SEC on them. In my 50 years in business, I have never seen executives of major companies who were more intimidated by an administration.

I think that he has a reason to fear the IRS. Anyone who is in business should be very concerned with this administration and how he will use the IRS to socially engineer this country. He hired 16,000 new IRS agents/auditors. You can be assured that they won't be spending their time answering the telephone. From the direction Obama has been heading he has shown a disdain for business. Nixon used the IRS during his administration to go after his political enemies. He is a wimp compared to Obama and what he has in mind for this country.
