Krugman Of The NYT Wants Grownups To Bail Out Wall Street. Watch Your Pocket Books

Krugman Of The NYT Wants Grownups To Bail Out Wall Street. Watch Your Pocket Books

 The New York Times—aka the Walter Duranty Papers [1]  has a 90+ year history of apologizing for Communism, fostering any form of anti-anticommunism, defending despots like Fidel Castro, World Wars started by leftists, the USSR, Cuba and their interminable endorsement of far left political types who would run for high office in the United States.  They also sit as  constant watch dogs and barnyard squealers  as the capitalist economies parade past their faces and lament that so much wealth goes untaxed or unregulated.[2] Their famous non-economist frequently blesses us with his political acumen from time to time just to spice up the caldrons.[3][4]

 The leftist-socialist-Marxist topic of the day is Henry Paulson’s $700 billion rescue plan for the U.S. financial system.  Krugman uses recess mentality to attempt to goad the idiots in Congress to increase the size of government:

 

Many people on both the right and the left are outraged at the idea of using taxpayer money to bail out America’s financial system. They’re right to be outraged, but doing nothing isn’t a serious option. Right now, players throughout the system are refusing to lend and hoarding cash — and this collapse of credit reminds many economists of the run on the banks that brought on the Great Depression.”[5]-- Where Are the Grown-Ups? By Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: September 25, 2008 [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.] This link references all quotes in this essay unless indicated otherwise.

 Crude scare tactics, as usual. But, that was a grand day for the left and FDR.

 Here are more pleas to soak the taxpayers and rescue the leftist losers in Congress:

 “Tt’s true that we don’t know for sure that the parallel is a fair one. Maybe we can let Wall Street implode and Main Street would escape largely unscathed. But that’s not a chance we want to take”

 A caveat: we don’t know how punishing losers for mistakes in the financial community will turn out but let us risk your money as a hedge. Let us bet your money on this scheme. OF course, your taxes might soar and you debt might increase and the economy might just go down anyway but, in case, let us risk your money.

 Big government needs your help.

 In a rare flight to apparent reason, Krugman writes this:

 Mr. Paulson argued that he could solve this problem through “price discovery” — that once taxpayer funds had created a market for mortgage-related toxic waste, everyone would realize that the toxic waste is actually worth much more than it currently sells for, solving the capital problem. Never say never, I guess — but you don’t want to bet $700 billion on wishful thinking.”

 This kind of thinking might defeat our krugmaniacal economist from the New York Time’s argument for big government, but let us look for a ringer here:

 “The Congressional plan, then, looks a lot better — a lot more adult — than the Paulson plan did. That said, it’s very short on detail, and the details are crucial. What prices will taxpayers pay to take over some of that toxic waste? How much equity will they get in return? Those numbers will make all the difference.”

 There is NO Congressional plan—that is the point ringer.

 “The bottom line, then, is that there do seem to be some adults in Congress, ready to do something to help us get through this crisis. But the adults are not yet in charge.”

 Name some. Barney Frank? Chris Dodd? Joe Biden? Nancy Pelosi?

 Krugman doesn’t know what to do but he predicts some grownups [leftist parasites?] will structure a plan to get your tax money and waste it on more phony ‘redistribution of wealth schemes” like this:

 Here is the reason we have so many trash-grade mortgages:

The Community Reinvestment Act (or CRAPub.L. 95-128, title VIII, 91 Stat. 1147, 12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.) is a United States federal law that requires banks and thrifts to offer credit throughout their entire market area and prohibits them from targeting only wealthier neighborhoods with their services, a practice known as "redlining." The purpose of the CRA is to provide credit, including home ownership opportunities to underserved populations and commercial loans to small businesses. It has been subjected to important regulatory revisions”.[6]

These are liberal plans and schemes. Watch this video: [7]

 Vote these parasites out of office or they will squander all you worked and saved.
