[quote=patientrenter]I am nervous. Why? Because I find myself agreeing almost completely with a politician who is considered extreme, weird, and an outcast amongst virtually all our nation’s leaders – politicians, media, intellectuals, business people…

LOL, You see conventional wisdom is not really wisdom in economic policy. It is what the real power brokers want you to think is best for you, when really its best for them. And they fire hose you down with kool-aid from every angle until they make you think it is the “best way”. Now after decades of globalization, ponzi scheme financial shenanigans and outsourcing you are realizing the kool-aid isn’t so good and maybe you were only drinking it because the ‘smart’ guys said it was good. After a while the kool-aid makes you sick and angry.
Just watch CNBC for proof. They sold that bailout like there was no tomorrow. Funny thing is after the spent a week jamming it down the peasants throats and it passed THEN they started to question it. Why, because they now it is not going to do shit for us and they better prepare us for dark days and still give the slight illusion that they are doing their job.
You will notice the same thing for Iraq. Every media outlet was a cheerleader until after we were in, then they started to question.
