REALLY! You're ok with a program setup by a POTUS who has proven himself to be a traitor in the past, present and future but your only concern is WHO carries out his despicable deeds?!? YOU sir are either a moron or a dirtbag or BOTH!...my guess is both...

I've watched many, many Santelli clips on Obamacare. He hates everything about it. Here he was just focusing on the IRS angle b/c it's in the news today. He is neither a moron or dirtbag, and contrary to what most believe he DID NOT support TARP (bank bailouts). He's not a Wall Street guy. He's a truth-telling former Chicago commodities trader.

And an accidental founder of the tea party...Santelli is also a Fed critic because he knows, unlike Liesman (although Liesman knows; he's just sycophant) that the Fed manipulation of pricing through QE is a fiction, and that this so-called rally in stocks, housing, etc. Is just an extension of this manipulation. Buffett said so much in his CNBC "interview": "when you got some guy buying 85 billion a month, it tends to inlfluence price." Buffett further points out: "I'd be very interested to see how he (The Bernank) is going to unwind this...because I don't know how he's going to do it"...

Ask yourself if QE is a real world when things like this have happened over the last few years:
-Hedge fund manager David Tepper makes (using OPM) $2 billion/year in the bullish, frothy stock market (watched the Tepper love festival this AM on CNBS where Kernen actually stood up to "model" his body for Tepper)
-Quicken Loans and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's net worth goes from $300 million to over $5 billion since QE. Why? Low interest rates fueling mortgage origination, which is Quicken's biz
-insolvent banks, which should have been dead but for QE, getting even bigger and more dangerous
-wealth and income disparity curves rocketing off the charts (in the wealthy's favor, of course)
-BRK returns increasing 35% last year

The reality is that QE has made the gambling rich (and their brokers) much, much richer, and the saving rich a little less rich, and the saving middle class much poorer, and the poor destitute. I'm no socialist, but this is not where our Republic wants to be, or what it was founded on. History is lost on us, apparently. Top-down societies are not free societies, and do not last. Our founders knew this. The old Roman Republic, before imperialism, knew this. The Greeks knew this.

Our Republic is morphing into and may now be an empire of finance, controlled by financiers and the financial elite. Bankers and money changers have never been as powerful in the history of modern man, which frankly is not a very long history.

Anyone out there, other than those financial elite, think this structure lasts?

I leave this ranting diatribe with a snippet from Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo where Abby Faria bargains with Edmund Dantes when asking for his help to dig out of the Chateau D'if:

AF-In return for your help, I will give you that which cannot be taken away.
ED-Freedom?
AF-Freedom can be taken away, as you well know. No. Knowledge.

Knowledge is the key to freedom. An ignorant person is a slave.




-BRK returns 35%

Hey Skin:

Going over the VA election results and wish Cuccinelli would have had another week or so. He was out spent, not backed by GOP and only had Rand Paul to support him. His small government ideas were lost on McAluffe who brought in the entire Dem party. The Liberitiarian took from both candidates but I think he hurt Cuccinelli more.

All the Dems who think Hillary will win because of the female vote, should have watched Christie crush Buono.
32% of Democrats voted for Christie.

Lots of JFK specials coming up. I ask my 17 year old grandson what he though of Kenedy. He ask if that was the one that had an affair with Marilyn Monroe? God save us, the young generation is clueless.

Taking note of Obamacareless articles. Summation, more people have lost their insurance under ACA than signed up.
65% of those signing up are getting Medicaid.....that will not work well for the taxpayer.
If only they realized the only problem isn't the web site.

BG, Just an awful mess we are in here aint it? Here in Maryland I have been attending the education forums, which, by the way, were not forums at all. They were long winded presentaions that told the proletariot just how wonderful the system is in regards the common core standards. The presenters were to go for 45 minutes and leave 45 minutes for questions from the small guy. However, they went long and cut short the QnA. The questions were vetted by helpers who roamed the floor and took the cards. Don't know it you caught the one vid of the guy up here in Baltimore who was literally thrown out of one meeting for attempting to take the floor. Our local government had a meeting and invited some out of towners to present their views and folkks just ripped em a new one despite the fact it was not their fault. Holy shit. Kids are in trouble these days and should be home schooled at the very least. Otherwise it just is all a window dressing for stupidity and as everyone knows an uneducated population is much easier to fuck over.
