MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan Has a Meltdown (Repubs/Dems-"Reckless, Irrisponsible and Stupid") Video
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan is mad as hell about the U.S. financial crisis--and he's not gonna take it anymore!
While convening a roundtable discussion on the market meltdown on his eponymous MSNBC show on Tuesday, Ratigan exploded.
"We've got a real problem!" an exasperated Ratigan shouted. "This is a mathematical fact! Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, Republicans aren't doing it. An entire integrated system, financial system, trading system, taxing system, that was created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our entire country right now. And we're sitting here arguing about whether we should do the $4 trillion plan that kicks the can down the road for the president for 2017, or burn the place to the ground, both of which are reckless, irresponsible, and stupid."
"I'm sorry to lose my temper," he continued. "But, I tell you what, I've been coming on TV for three years doing this, and the fact of the matter is that there's a refusal on both the Democratic and the Republican side of the aisle to acknowledge the mathematical problem, which is that the United States of America is being extracted."
Later, on the show's website, Ratigan called it his "epic 'Network' moment."
The clip of the entire rant is worth watching, which you can (and should) do.

Based on your post, one of the problems with some folks is that you want spectacular presentation without understanding the contents of the message. It is difficult to manage the multivariate elements of requirements for America, however and to achieve perfect presentation while really directing a message is nearly impossible. And that is why America shall always be SOLD OUT. Many people just want someone that is an actor; that is the problem with contemporary America's elected leaders: all white teeth and gift for gab and don't accomplish anything but muddle the nation.
True, he lacks stage presence, and his voice is whiny. But he's still the best thing in sight.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
That's a generous description. He sounds like he's getting cornholed when he speaks...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
I was speaking for "Everyman", I like some of what Paul has to say...

And Barry isn't?? Bwaahaa!! Plus, Barry's a flamer. He doesn't walk, he sashays his skinny gay azz as though he's vogueing down a designer model runway in Frisco.
"It's not surprising, then, they [White Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ~ Comrade-in-Chief Barry Hussein 0bama
Isn't that how most Americans feel? It is "bend over" every election; and some posters wonder why a HUGE percentage of Americans don't vote.
Or else you would have voted for....Gus Hall's corpse??

Don't worry - he'll apologize for his brief "slip up" and return to doing what he's paid to do - shill for 0bama and the socialist NWO.

Like how come S&P gives us a AAA just before going into WWI and WWII...;} Sometimes you get it right, Jimbo. Sometimes. Still, you never seem to blame 0bama for anything.

I don't think you can realistically say that you speak for Everyman. And, honestly, I wish you could that way I could get all my data based on your posts. Well, I like EVERYTHING he has to say. The torches of personal freedoms and liberty are reignited with Ron Paul this year.
Funny line....made even funnier when you realize it's Barry who's the one who loooves getting cornholed.

Actually those torches he advocates for were and still are..figments. Selling points put in by the founders to win over a skeptical populace.
These days (with the advent and success of "multiculturalism" and class-ism), this is because "America" has been successfully shattered into the million pieces the elites aimed for. Operation: 'DIVIDE AND CONQUER' has been a sensational success. THE Sell Out began in earnest and in broad daylight under Poppa NWO Bush. The last President to remotely "achieve the perfect presentation" while directing a message that most Americans could believe and truly be inspired by was...Ronald Reagan. And he'd achieve it on several occasions.

Who can disagree with basic premise? Not me.
If you are not convinced about the absolute break-down of US governance within these contemporary trying times, where are you going? Both of these political parties have lied to us. And they are scrambling with some of the greatest REAL problems of the nation since WW2. Ron Paul always stood clear and unequivocal throughout his 24 congressional background. Although I am paraphrasing his position, he has maintained quit the BS!
IMPLODE The patco madness ... dnc union welfare - collective black mail --- trial lawyers - degenerate lifestyles !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons are for girlie boys !
You're the expert on that, so I'll take your word for it.

Ron Paul always stood clear and unequivocal throughout his 24 congressional background. Although I am paraphrasing his position, he has maintained quit the BS! One of the big problems was when the political parties started listening to the, mainly, corporate lobbyists before they listened to the citizens. Maybe they thought a free market was one of those ideals mentioned in the constitution, yet I can only find tariffs, fees and taxes mentioned as far as trade is concerned. Paul uses mainly unworkable, some can even say unhuman platitudes as his political positions. His worshiping of Ayn Rand says it all. Her characters are all idealized figments and the world she described as being possible was right out of Grimm's Fairytales.

There has got to be a way for collaboration from time to time. There are ways, too. It is called a few rules of respect for personal communications. Otherwise, we all crash together similar to other chit-chat forums. I consulted my famous eight ball and asked a simple question: Can't we all get along. The answer was revealing, too. "You have asked the wrong question again."
you've been vetted as part of the Top 50 000. Ha. I like how you pretend at being smart while avoiding anything approaching a serious discussion. As Fed Chairman, Volker fought against Greenspan and his attempts to weaken the wall between commercial banks and investment houses. Roll next quip...
I like how you pretend at being smart while avoiding anything approaching a serious discussion. You've noticed that too? Jimmy is a one-sided rolling monologue of enigmatic, ethereal posting. There is no real "debate" of points.

Corporate entities have been in existence since 1793. They are protected as much as individuals by US law. So, I don't understand your complaint unless you are challenging the FACT that corporations pay taxes. Are you doing that? I think I understand your point. Please clarify so I can expand my opinion without going off on a wild-goose chase; I don't like to waste time.
What happens here at LF is a microcosm of Lefty vs. Conservative in real life. It's a clash of reality vs. delusion. Is any compromise possible? I consulted my famous eight ball and asked a simple question: Can't we all get along. The answer was revealing, too. "You have asked the wrong question again." Maybe an Ouija Board might help.

Regan begged Reagan to let him fire Volker. Wanted to do it face to face in a two word comversation: "You're fired!" Wall Street caught wind of it and the market tanked. So much so that Reagan was forced to make a same day statement of support for Volker that, IIRC, he managed to do without retching.

I am afraid of elecktronic energy moving the pointer. Sorry. I am going to consult my personal deck of cards. And, on the side I am learning palmistry, too. So I am personally advancing my education.
Fully agree. But it didn't turn out that way, did it? A pile of GODDAMNED NEO-CONS playing GOD for the good of America. YEA! Here, we are stuck with a fucking mess because of poor leadership, from TSA checking vaginas of Catholic Nuns by Arabic Muslims with gloves on New Jersey in the name of law. And continuing wars around the world and the largest bills in American history breaking our economic backs that have no obvious outcome. It is time to retreat. It is same old scratchy record playing over and over again as Vietnam. And as most folks know, I go around and around with others on that point.

According to wkipedia, Greenspan was on CEA during Ford's term but not Reagan's. However, he was appointed to replace Tall Paul as Fed Chair in 1987 where he continued to chisel away at the Glass-Steagall firewall for the next twelve years.
Ooops...it was CFR not CEA...

LMFAO. ;} A serious discussion, here? In Fundy Zion Land? Sure. Let's go. Right now. Caveat. How long before A K decides to hide the comments. Thus short circuiting the thread. Cause I ain't wasting my time. My Position has only gotten stronger the last 6 years. Accelerated with the Debt Ceiling Kabuki Theatre Fiasco. Let's talk.
Jimmy is a one-sided rolling monologue of enigmatic, ethereal posting. There is no real "debate" of points. exactly. from your side. Only dis info. Like this. Deflation is accelerating. Hyperinflation is a Fed Res Boogie man. But you won't even type Federal Reserve. Like it's a god somewhere. You can reply as to why not one article ever appears on the Federal Reserve here at LF.....tick tock....;}
And thank you....;} Your body perfectly attempts to give you what you pretend to be... And All Too Soon, outsiders can't tell whether you're pretending or not....8D
