Oh there was planning. That's why we have the Fed. Greenspan carefully planned his response to the previous recession and pushed this solution. Certainly, they didn't expect the results they got. The truth is that you cannot force interest rates low (massively increase the money supply) and NOT get a hell of a business cycle, i.e. bad recession or depression. Of course it was all in the name of moderating the business cycle. So their intentions were good! Doesn't that make it all better?

As if you actually employed ‘reason’ at any point…

I can’t even tell if you read both K’s articles from your post. You appear to be completely ignorant of the contents of either.

“The truth is that the Bernanke-Geithner plan — the plan the administration keeps floating, in slightly different versions — isn’t going to fly.

Take the plan’s latest incarnation: a proposal to make low-interest loans to private investors willing to buy up troubled assets.”

AND, worse, this is the same plan Bernanke and Paulson pushed that hasn’t worked and they resorted to extortion, threats against them, like when Bank of America was buying Merryl Lynch, not disclosing complete information and when B of A spoke up, Paulson threatened them.

Oh joy………Rinse, REPEAT

I do not buy into the planned catastrophe theory. This mess is so bad that it defies planning. No, this is the kind of mess you get when no one is planning anything but there own financial and political ambitions.

Krugman was a long and committed HRC reporter and came to support Obama only when HRC was no longer a candidate. He supported HRC’s efforts to get at the mortgage crisis during the election.

Isn’t it pretty obvious that if there is fire from the right and fire from the left that somewhere in there is smoke? The very fact that Krauthammer and Krugman both find Obama lacking in leadership and logical thinking should dispel the notion that the problem is just partisan blindness and give you a clue that Dear Leader is a troublemaker in trouble.

Absolutely, this was all planned.
Go to the blog of “insightanalytical” and you will read about part of the long term plan that has been in progress for years. It’s only now that the steps are advancing so rapidly that people are waking up and seeing the light. This is just another step along the road to Global Union.

To Freedom is Dead – You are so right. This disasterous melt-down of our economy was deliberately planned by an entity with long-range goals in mind. Their game has been into play for a long, long time, but now with an incompetent Obama coming on the tails of an incompetent (like a fox) Bush their plans are nearer fruition. Insightanalytical has a post up that might explain a little of what is going on. “The North American Community/North American Union” Their goal for this step in the saga is set for 2010. Go read, and then connect the dots. Frightening, but true.

Rev. Amy,

I’ve been floating the idea that the PUMA coalitions join together with the election reform community in raising public awareness about election corruption.

One movie night is a good start, but it’s not nearly enough in building “critical mass” citizen support of meaningful election reform. By “meaningful”, I mean the return to hand counted paper ballots. As is the case for all movements that are created to empower the people, the election reform movement has been infiltrated by those who wish to “muddy the waters” and confuse the public as to why we must return to counting our votes by hand. Remember, it was a corrupt Congress who rammed these machines down our throats without so much as a real debate on the pros and cons of voting software counting our votes instead of the people.

I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you Rev. Amy regarding my vision of how the PUMA movement can join forces with the election reform movement.

Please feel free to contact me.

Publius, you stated “for the love of God”. Please don’t use God in any shape or form when discussing this visitor from the nether world. It is actually for the love of God that we are frightened to death of everything that Obama represents.

There’s no doubt to me that this was all planned to make our constituion appear obsolete and useless.
