Did anyone besides myself watch Tim Russert's interview with Hillary Clinton this morning on Meet The Press?

One thing she said that really stood out to me was that if elected president, in an effort to "cure" the prime mortgage situation, she would FREEZE interest rates.

Anyone remember what happened when Jimmy Carter FROZE gasoline prices? How about when Nixon FROZE wages and prices?

Anytime government puts a lid on the free market, shortages are the result. If we want mortgage money to completly dry up, the best thing to do would be to artificially control interest rates. Bah!

Will these communists in our midst never learn?

As for now Russert can kiss my gluteous. The unfair, yellow attack, on Dr. Paul was unwarrented.

To me the economic condition in both Nixon1 and Carter looked alot like this Bush2 situation. Each time there were way too many dollars in circulation. The dollar values are low. There is a high level of unemployment or underemployment. We have had a grossly unbalanced budget, in each of these administrations.

Price controls never work more than a few months at best. A real politition NEVER wants to fix a problem completely. Only fix it a little and break something else in the process. We should dramaticly reduced foreign spending and increase domestic spending a little, in areas that are labor intensive.

Ron Paul sums it up nicely. Because to him, almost every national problem is either a states-rights issue or macro economics.

Yeah I watched it....I get the same vibe watching her speak as I do when George Bush speaks. I can just tell she has an evil soul.

anyone but hillary for president. Other than ron paul I think we have bad choices this election.

I think it's bubble bursting time. "They" would never let R.P. be president, any more than Gravel or Kucinich. Who are "They" you say. "They" are the men behind all things evil, wars, oppresion, genocide, WMDs, Man made diseases, etc.....
They are the bankers that own the FED, The oil Barons, The defense contractors that feed off war, All the friends of the elite in every country on earth, The members of the Bilderberg if you will. "They" are the ones that have sold their soul to the "Devil". Even if the people elected a reformist, "They" would never let him get the job done. Sooo.... What are we to do? Well, common sense says to vote for the lessor of the two evils, forget parties, research the candidates and pick the one that can win and do the least damage, maybe even make some improvements. Untill we can pry the power from "Their" cold dead hands, there will be no reforming, no legalization of any drugs, no restoration of civil rights, no end to war. "They" have stolen hope and turned this planet into a prison. It's only the degree of containment that you are limited to that separates the inner city Ghetto dweller from the upscale suburbanite, and of course that great equalizer, Money. Money can almost set you free. Sorry to bring this up, but someone has to do it.

I enjoy reading your posts MM. At first I thought you were just nuts but I see the truth's in what you write and agree with you on this as well.

If one had to vote Dem, I really like Richardson....its sad he had no support. And there was a guy with even less support who seemed ok (forget his name). I really agree with the I can't put a finger on it but Clinton is evil. Two families get to rule this country.... know there saddly is a double Bush ticket waiting for Clinton your next President to serve her 8 years.

What I am saying is we have no good leaders. We need better than bush or clinton. We need better peolpe running, but your right without the inside edge you dont have a chance.

How thoroughly defeatist. I don't blame the extremists nearly as much as I blame compromise centrists who are willing to eat shit waiting for tomorrow to come because they lack the conviction to "waste" their vote.
