Another socialist cabinet member, who would of thought.

He nominates yet another Keynesian socialist into his cabinet. Either the man is very ignorant or he is intentionally trying to destroy this country.
First, lets take a look at what Keynesian economics really is. It is however failed many times in history, so why would berry not wanna try it yet again.

I'm all for trying new things, but this is not new, and if it really worked it would be used globally and it's not, countries that have used this idea have learned that it's a failure and have moved back to letting the free market boost he economy. The free market will fix itself if government would just get the hell out of the way.

Wow...Another ivory tower-dwelling academic, sans a shred of real-world experience, culled from the faculty lounge!

Imagine that.

Hmm. Krueger's a white guy. Interesting. I didn't think conservatives used the S-word on white guys.

You're white (I surmise) and you get called Stupid all the time.

If you are black..you are marxist.

So Keynesian means Socialist? Because I don't see the term socialist used anywhere.

Bernie Sanders of Vermont?
From Wiki:

Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist,[1][2] and has praised European social democracy. He is the first person elected to the U.S. Senate to identify as a socialist.[3] Sanders caucuses with the Democratic Party and is counted as a Democrat for the purposes of committee assignments, but because he does not belong to a formal political party, he appears as an independent on the ballot. He was also the only independent member of the House during much of his service there.

Bernie Sanders the "independent" is an above-board and avowed socialist....You can look it up.

That sovereignty.net properly identifies closeted socialists, cynically passing themselves off under the "progressive" moniker, isn't their problem, Bubba.

By the way, this is my favourite part of that article:

"It shouldn't take a PhD in economics from Harvard to realize that the fear of a punitive future tax is illusory as it relates to promoting consumption."

Yet, we get told day in and day out by conservatives that the fear of future taxes is exactly why businesses aren't consuming more.

This is filed under "Things That Make Me Go Hmm"

Bernie Sanders is a Socialist, this is a pretty well known fact.

He did. He is about a socialist as it gets in Washington...but the people of Vermont elected him.

Some of these Beckheads, Dittoheads, and Obama haters throw around the word socialist without regard for it's definition sometimes.

The GOP has got to create fear of something...and they can't create it based on Obama's foreign policy record...so they use "socialism" to conjure up imagery of Stalin and Mao to keep their voters angry, afraid, and frosty enough to vote for sure.

And when a politician advocates for using government money to collude with private industry..what is that called?

Bernie Sanders is a Socialist, this is a pretty well known fact.

But he's not proposing any legislation of a socialist nature.
