Bernie Sanders Shreds Alan Greenspan To His Smug Face

[Baobab]

Neoliberals don't care about jobs lost. In neoliberal ideology he's basically seeing job loss as not important, because to people like him, profit is higher if the jobs go elsewhere, (or if guest workers do the jobs here for minimum wages) and its "more efficient" for profits to be higher, "maximizing the value in the supply chains".

Thats what we are dealing with. Our own party does this.

1. Predatory Capitalism hurts the middle class, and you never ever have

A democracy once that middle class is gone.

We need to get our country back to "Family Capitalism." We had that system up and running (and working) in the 1950'd and 1960's. It is such a good system that Germany and the other northern European Countries all swear by it.

This means supporting Bernie Sanders and opposing those who are too far right of Center, like Hillary Clinton.

2. Correction - when the Middle Class is gone - Democracy is GONE

and its not really "Family Capitalism"

Its TRUE capitalism that invest in building widgets rather then "Speculating on Virtual Assets"

5. Good video!

"Brooksley Born became alarmed by the lack of oversight of the secretive, multitrillion-dollar over-the-counter derivatives market. Her attempts to regulate derivatives ran into fierce resistance from then-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, then-Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and then-Deputy Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who prevailed upon Congress to stop Born and limit future regulation.

6. Didn't he also rip into Andrea (Greenspan) Mitchell, too, the other day?

When she was "moaning" about all the problems Hillary Clinton was having as a result of his not dropping out of the race?

Well, that makes TWO evil wizards from the same plutocrat family that he's taken out. I love this guy!

8. Just another bullshit piece requiring Bernie pull out of the race

long before it's over.

Need I remind everyone that in 2008 Hillary stayed in until the very end. Exactly why should Bernie leave?

10. She has a LOT to hide

And I am not talking about emails.

13. Well, that makes TWO evil *LIZARDS* from the same plutocrat family that he's taken out.

FTFY

16. I stand corrected!

Grand Nagus Greenspan appears before before Congress, and explains how it's impossible for 'large countries' to have fair economies.

you can go without your ridiculous buggy-whip job for 3-10 years, right?

of course more and more are left behind without a safety net, and soon even the gentry start worrying

11. We're saving the human race from drudge work.

There are no bubbles. There is no world where the clock goes backwards in time. Unless we invest a great deal in our country's abilities people just wont have work to do that a machine or worker from a trading partner either here or over the Internet, doesnt do as good or better for less. Low cost and decent education is typically their competitive advantage. What is our worker's competitive advantage. many of our workers are top notch. Then the question becomes, if somebody else can work for minimum wage or less, (its not clear if it will even apply) will paying somebody four or five or ten times as much (what they are making now) be worth it. Maybe even ten times as much. Thats what is possible and its going to change everything. Its a huge mistake, and a huge dirty trick on all of us. I'm pretty sure this is her plan as its been in the pipeline since the 1990s, they just "neglected to tell" the country, holding three fake health care debates - this is our third, so you know if they wouldnt tell the truth about the the chance of them telling the truth about other related issues is nil.

I guess we'll see.

9. Alan Greenspan is the husband of Andrea Mitchell.

Never forget that when you see Andera Mitchell on MSNBC.

14. the dnc and dws are fighting with the progressive wing

And we must win the political victory against their status quo BS. Americans are suffering greatly by the tens of millions and we need to help the move toward the progressive majority in DC that will save us and our country from the greed of the couple million who have most of the money and perks. Most of this has occurred since saint ronnie rolled into DC with his voodoo economics.....sob

15. how?

seems to me that the battle in Brussels and Geneva is the one that most needs to be won now.

Carve outs need to go in to FTAs..
