So Economist Suck now why does she need Greenspan?

Than why does Hillary want an Economist and desciple of Milton Friedman to lead the effort in fixxing the Foreclosure mess. Surely we can't have an elitist running such a serious problem.


Clinton proposes Greenspan lead foreclosure group

WHITE PLAINS, New York (Reuters) - Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and other economic experts should determine whether the U.S. government needs to buy up homes to stem the country's housing crisis, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will propose on Monday.

Clinton, a presidential candidate and senator from New York, said the Federal Housing Administration should "stand ready" to buy, restructure and resell failed mortgages to strengthen the ailing U.S. economy.

"Just as it has in the past, this kind of temporary measure by the government could give our economy the boost it needs and families the help they need," Clinton will say, according to excerpts of remarks prepared for a speech in Philadelphia

Sorry. Just got through grading freshman papers. :)

I'm an accountant...I write like it. I'm taking a course this summer as part of my "development"

If you'll balance my checkbook, I'll proofread your papers.

:D

"I don't want to deal with this issue?"

"I'm so sick of grading goddamn papers that all I see are grammatical errors everywhere I go."

she couldn't name one, so she claimed she doesn't need to hear what "elitists" think about her plan. SHE wants to help the PEOPLE. (Unlike ALL the "biased" economists). :rofl:

Wow

but "out of touch elites"

Now she equates ANYONE who disagrees with her with "elitists."

"I'm not going to put my lot in with economists," Clinton said when asked to name an economist who backed her proposal.

"We've got to get out of this mind-set where somehow elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantage the vast majority of Americans," said Clinton, a former first lady who would be the first woman president.

on whom would she rely to give her advice on the economy...Seven-11 employees?

We don't want to get our economic advice from economists, now do we? So, we might
as well get our knowledge from people who don't know a damn thing.

She sounds like Bush.

with her. :eyes: It's her way of trying to connect Obama, who's AGAINST this plan, to the "elitists" who don't agree with her pandering.

This is starting to resemble George Bush's war on science.

Someone with a PHD is working in Treasury, Commerce, or the Fed.

I haven't heard squat from her with regard to fiscal policy, market regulation, or mortgage crisis, or anything else economically related that didn't make me yelp 'WTF?!' as soon as I heard it. Her interest-rate freeze idea is especially dreadful. I cannot believe that articulated such an idiotic idea in public.

But the gas tax holiday is a bad idea no matter who likes it or dislikes it.

who needs'em. We can figure out what's best FAR more than they can.
