COMPLETE FUCKING LUNATIC CRAZY PERSON!!!

And a crappy businessman too.

and she wanted "someone" like Warren Buffett. She's Liberal but she reads the WSJ every day and thinks the Business World knows how things should work.

I pointed out that:
A. Warren Buffett is 9 million years old. This is now a moot point.
B. If Capitalism was a human being, it would diagnosed as a Psychopath.

Lo and behold, we elect a Businessman, and he's literally a Psychopath.

rein in the excesses of big business, not put the fox inside the henhouse.

Remember Balancing the Budget? The Deficit? The Debt? Sequestration? When the GOP pretended to give a shit about any of that?

An actual intelligent Businessperson who tried to honestly address that issue would do exactly what any intelligent Pol would do: raise marginal tax rates to increase revenue, and cut the DoD's budget - hard.

And then they'd be kicked out of office at the end of their 1st term.

And yet I've been taught forever (since the 1950s) that capitalism is the savior of the world.

We should worship making money.

The marketplace will level the playing field. The wealth will trickle down.

The rich just played their cards better - not that they got dealt a far better hand.

until such time as a *competent* businessman takes the reins.

already from history but NO. The republicans keep pushing these worthless and grossly unqualified candidates to the forefront. Perhaps its a sad commentary on the ability of the republican party to get decent, well versed candidates on all things government-wise, and having the ability to reach out and make constructive compromises.

Argument.... we dare not discuss politics.

I said to the surgeon, “Hell no, you’re doing the operation because I want my surgeon to be a business man!” Not.
