19. The fact is that those limited numbers of people
Are terrified of a real economy because a real economy would force them to go out and get their hands dirty.

And they are not so smart that what they created could not be understood by someone else. Tens of thousands of people handled and sold these financial instruments and many many of them can explain them to Obama and the rest of us.

I think rewarding the financial insiders who did this to our nation with jobs inside Obama's administration its terrible because

number one: it violates a core philosophical rule that the criminally minded ass wipes that have stolen our economy out from under us should be punished not rewarded.
and number two: the only model of an economy that exists for them is that of the paper pushing "financial instrument" game players have is that of another paper pushing "financial instrument" game that will not help any of the working or middle class.

We need to restore certain basic principles to this country - one is that of creating local jobs.
Two is that of tariffs - let's quit importing this cheap CHinesse crap that is poisoning our food tables and our pet food bowls and now medications. Start to rebuild our own industries and manufacture things here. get rid of "Supply Side" which did zero for a job base here, and start back with a normal job-based economy.

TygerBright had something excellent to say about this too: http://tinyurl.com/6efxuq
