[TheCowsCameHome]

of Katrina, according to White House shill Scott McLellan.

HOW ABOUT THE RESCUE, DUMBASS??????????

[K-W]

1. Well, Im glad someone is rescuing wall street in thier time of need. nt

[SmokingJacket]

2. Wall Street is doing just fine!

The rich will find ways of getting richer.

[kath]

11. Yep, we are returning to the days of the robber barons (if we're not

there already - income distribution is becoming more and more skewed. The rich are getting richer and richer and...)

[fasttense]

3. It's more important that he know how this will affect his base, the haves

and have mores. Those people dying in NOL are just not important.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Maybe He Could Talk To Someone Who's Actually Been Correct

Greenspan has no track record of accurately predicting economic impact of fiscal policy, monetary policy, or disaster recovery. Let me repeat: He has NEVER been right about these things.

5. this aint about wall street.

this is about the entire US economy.

middle america exports a shitload of grain, and their main port was N.O.

we've lost 25% of petroleum production.

Bush absolutely, positively should be meeting with greenspan.

And, he should be introduced to a Mr. Keynes. Tax cuts, and lower interest rates aint gonna fix this economic mess.

We're going to need a WPA-like project.

[K-W]

8. Im sure an interest rate adjustment would solve those problems.

Have you mistaken Greenspan for someone with the ability to help with this disaster?

Since when is a right wing hack economist the person to talk to about transportation infrastucture?

[ender]

13. look - greenspan is the worlds most powerful man.

and despite politics, he's in charge of the federal reserve, and absolutely can make a difference.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Tell that to those up who are up to their necks in polluted water

Get them to safety FIRST, and talk economics later.

[K-W]

16. Yep, he is a regular superman.

Care to share with me an actual way he can help because "he is the most powerful man in the world" is just a generalization that besides being false, provides no information whatsoever.

Interest rates are not the pressing issue at the moment.

6. controlled collapse of US economy in progress --- all Katrina's fault

[Dora]

7. And WTF would Greenspan know? He's a shill. n/t

[speedoo]

9. The Coward is trying to get another tax cut for his rich buddies.

He made a promise to the wealthy San Diegans on Monday, doncha know?

Trying to get Greenspan the shill on board.

[Missy M]

10. This is really scary... bush talking economics. I'm not sure he even

knows what the word means.

[gollygee]

12. Priorities. 1. drinking water. 2. food. 3. sanitation

where do "economic effects" fall on the list?

[leftchick]

15. No Kidding and no one calls him on it

I would have screamed Folks are Dying and Chimp is Lunching and talking DOLLARS????
