I dunno ... Rob't McNamara was also a successful businessman, and while he knew a thing or three about how to politick, his statesmanship is universally acknowledges as terrible.
I think the past resume of the candidate will reflect the future. McNamara was secretary of defense, not sure how he got that job, and the president of world bank, which is a lender ( the people that need to be more heavily regulated in the country) In my eyes he is not a businessman that we needed. Plus im not sure he was even put in a position of power to where he could even have affected us positively economically. Romney is a successful business man, but i dont believe his business was one that can be translated to the presidency. He created a private equity investment firm which will just promoted more bad behavior in Washington. He also turned alot more political since he's been Governor.
i still don't see how being a pizza magnate qualifies one for presidency... i am sure there are many parallels between running a successful business and successfully running a nation, but that isn't much of a reason to vote for him. his tax plan doesn't adequately address our debt issue, he has ties to the koch brothers, and he is a GOP frontrunner... that's three strikes my friend. having no formal experience with politics doesn't mean he isn't a corrupt man, it just makes for a good talking point.
He was a member of the Kansas City board. A Class C memeber. Class A memebers are commercial bankers, class B are memebers from NONbanking sectors of our nation, Class C are captians of industry from the region. These board memebers do nothing but give advice. The FED econmists would listen and act however they please. Also this was between 92-95 when the economy wasn't bad
he recently defended the fed claiming that it shouldn't be audited.
I agree, he needs to come out and talk more about how he will reduce our deficit. I have no problem with the Koch brothers. The only problem i have is them being able to flex their muscle with the amount of money they have. They can believe whatever they want, they just shouldn't be allowed to have such a strong influence with their money. And that goes back to "buying out washington". They have not funded his campaign in anyway. I think it'll be intresting to give a guy a chance who's never held a political seat and see what he can do. Why vote for the same thing over and over when you can try something new?
I agree we should audit it. But he makes the point of saying he doesn't agree with some of the recent policy's and decisions coming from the fed today. He's seen how the FED works in good times and is basing his opinion off of the good times. He see's how good the FED can be and would appoint the appropriate people to make sure it runs the right way.
