They must be part vampire.

while the rest of us...

worth of damage to a very young democracy. I don't get it, either, Raccoon.

Alan Greenspan is dead.

Good.

... that Greenspan was also an ardent devotee of Alisa Rosenbaum's (Ayn Rand's real name) psychotic bullshit.
I suspect that Elon Musk might be that deranged as well, given his diatribes against empathy. Rand hated altruism in any and every form, and ranted against it at every possible opportunity. A real sweetheart, that one.

Chicago. I wish her shit would have died with her.

Congressman Paul Ryan made his entire staff read her doorstop books. Her essays were, shall we say, colorful, as well, and just as poorly written as Fountainhead Shrugged. (Both books were so similar in plot lines, that they may as well have been one cinder block of a book) The Virtue of Selfishness is mercifully short, but still vomit-inducing to anyone with a shred of conscience.

page it was so bad. and i read dictionaries + old encyclopedias. shit. i read a 20's book on sexual diseases. spinsters was a disease.

Wish I had. Could of been useful. Thanks for that info.

... I worked for a couple of guys who were serious "Objectivists", which is what keen followers of Rand called themselves. I was strongly encouraged to read her works, so I know a lot more about her than I would like.
Sadly, the stench of her influence lives on in the GOP.

He warned against income inequality, but seemed to blame the poor for not being properly educated instead of blaming the greedy rich.

I remember this moron, from late 80s & 90s, talking on news programs. I was in my 20s and knew he was absolutely he was taking down the middle class with his bonkers Ayn Rand jibberish.

And, as proof establishment Dems and Rs are in bed together in a "unitary party" here is who appointed him Reagan, Bush, Clinton (reappointed), and George W. Bush. The fix was clearly in when Bakker and Volker put Greenspans name to Reagan initially.

This man alone, is responsible for tremendous damage to the middle class of the United States of America.

Our system is so broken.

Still waiting for Americans to unite and pick up the pitchforks.

while it was being written.

sub human pieces of shit, full of self aggrandizement, like so many other modern day Republican Politcians and Republican leading figures.......there are countless numbers of them, all relying on others with similar thinking to prop each other, and themselves up....

I don't believe in a Hell for him to burn in for all eternity. But at least we human beings are rid of that asshole.

I wanna go water it.

Not to praise him.

Seriously, this was a guy whose only job was to make milquetoast statements that would have reporters and pundits grasping for interpretation. Like Chauncey Gardiner in Being There. Never experienced a real days work in his life and his long tenure probably did more damage to the economy than if we had switched out after his term expired.

Smart, but when needed he decided being a Republican was more important than being an honest economist. He marveled at Bill Clinton's curiosity over the economy and the national debt, stunned when he turned theory into policy that turned into a surplus.

Then, on the FOURTH DAY of our "MBA president's" first term, this guy, no fucking less:

Why all the vile pouring here?

That’s all I’ve got.

KILL THE CAP!

But somehow the worst of the worst seem to linger forever.

...predicted the derivatives crash a decade before it happened. She was hushed, marginalized, and silenced for it. Because they didn't think any woman would know what she was talking about when it came to the economy.
