oldberkeley, zpjet and bladerunner,
What is wrong with you guys? Don't you realize what passes for good governmental policy is to repeatedly utter simple one liners with no depth or any thoughts of the costs of actually doing what one is proposing? I guess that is why an uninformed, superficial, inexperienced simpleton like Sarah Palin is considered a leading voice of the Republican party, God help us all. I sat that as a truly embarrassed Republican. Maybe Palin feels she is a monetary policy expert since see can see a bank from the front porch of her house.
It truly does astonish me that supposedly intelligent people were actually saying we needed to let things crash and burn and somehow that would make things better. I will bet the people offering that agenda are very wealthy so figured they would be fine, but they don't stop to think how much the value of their assets would erode if things actually did collapse.
