Jon Stewart Asks Austan Goolsbee: Is The U.S. Too Big To Fail?

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart to White House CEA Chief Economist Austan Goolsbee:

  • Are we broke?
  • Is The United States too big to fail?
  • Who is big enough to bail us out?
  • Could we qualify for the Countries for Clunkers Program?

Goolsbee is the worst type of economist--incessantly political and biased, essentially a shill.  Listen to his response about the stimulus.  Just 8 weeks ago there was rumbling about a new stimulus when only 15-20% of the current one has been spent.  Now, Goolsbee is giving the 80% un-spent, generational rip-off credit for ending the recession.  Did we mention we hate political economists, as though the pseudo-science needed further trashing. 

To Stewart's credit, he pushes Goolsbee on the deficit, reminding him that we need a magical Leprechaun to escape our budget problems.  It's a funny clip.

I think we all predicted this months ago -- and when it turns out later that it DIDN'T "work", well, then the stimulus just wasn't big enough. Count on it. It's coming.

I think because Stewart leans left he still has a hard time criticizing Obama officials...one day he will learn that the parties are the same...
