Reply #59: And I agree, that Paulsen shouldn't be there

[newspeak]

and there are a lot better economists than Summers. Why they were picked when this country is in such dire straits, I have no idea. I'd take Galbraith over Summers, how about Roubini or even Krugman?

But, I do know that the repukes are the ones that totally screwed us and this country, and their "bootstrap" mentality is definitely not what we need when people are losing their decent jobs. Also, they want to destroy the social safety net--why don't they tell people to just damn starve and die, especially the elderly and the sick.
