Larry Summers On The Next U.S. Debt Downgrade

Summers on the cliff, last week on Bloomberg.  Runs 1 minute.

Fresh from his nap.

'Nobody who holds Treasuries should worry about getting paid.  The U.S. will meet all its obligations.'

If you remember, both Summers and Geithner guaranteed last year that the U.S. would never be downgraded, and then it happened a few months later, in August of 2011.  So Mr. Somnolence is choosing his words quite carefully in this clip.

• Recent rumors say Summers will replace Bernanke in 2014...
• Don't Let Larry Anywhere Near Your Investments...

Larry Summers As Realized In Cinema From The Social Network

Evidently, this meeting with the Winklevoss dipshits was before Larry's afternoon nap.  Had Summers invested just $1 million from the Harvard endowment in Zuckerberg's idea for a college-only social network, he would have made at least $1 billion (first investors in Facebook earned more than 1,000 times their investment with the IPO, and Harvard could have been the very first).

How Larry Wrecked Harvard's Endowment:

• Harvard Swaps Are So Toxic Even Summers Won’t Explain - Bloomberg
• Larry Summers loses 1/3 of Harvard's endowment ($1.8 Billion) on derivatives, gets promoted to White House

I know this is completely stupid and without merit, but just how the hell are we supposed to pay for this huge albatross of a medical system that is coming in two years. This just seems that we will continue into the abyss. I just can't stand it. DB your pops is a Doc right? What does he think about alll this in regards his practice?

("but just how the hell are we supposed to pay for this huge albatross of a medical system that is coming in two years.")

Maybe charge and prosecute the thieving parasite multinational corporations and Wall Street Banks and claw back a few of the trillions they've stolen, might be a good way to start.

Women and Science: A Look at Harvard Pres. Larry Summers

http://www.democracynow.org/2005/1/25/women_and_science_a_look_at

[snip]

Harvard University president Lawrence Summers created a firestorm earlier this month for claiming that women have less innate scientific ability than men. We speak with the Nancy Hopkins, the MIT professor who walked out of Summers’ speech as well as Dave Targan, the Dean of Science Programs at Brown University.

[chiller]

The bankers, the politicians, Wall Street crooks, corporate clowns and justice dept. thugs all go to the same church. Burning down the church is the only way to deal with them.
