She’s there because they are black and she is black. Nothing more, nothing less.

Which makes me wonder, since there are so many hundreds of thousands of them at her level and above (no comment) in SCLA, why don’t more of them take her on? If it’s going to be one kook or another, they might as well pass the paycheck around.

and after Congress spends on itself, can’t it afford WINDSHIELDS on those mics?? UGH.

It’s time to repent of your old, stupid ways folks and vote her out.

Doesn’t she have anyone on her staff who could have prepped on the material? It’s not as if these are difficult concepts.

Someone who sits on the Financial Services Committee should know this stuff cold. Her criminal ignorance is the economic equivalent of an umpire not knowing the difference between a ball and a strike.

But what does one expect from a corrupt Marxist and Castro fan?

She misunderstood what the change was about, and tried to parlay it into reinforcing her core intent of scaremongering over home loan interest rates going up.

What scum bag.

Allah-
there is a big difference between Ron Paul and Maxine Waters though…
Ron Paul actually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to economics. The economics professors at the Mises Institute in Auburn, AL would be willing to back him up on his Fed ideas any day of the week. I think it’s counterproductive to place Dr. Paul and Waters in the same boat.

Allahpundit knows. After his typical knee-jerk response to Paul’s line of “bizarre” questioning, he was informed as to his ignorance on the subject, and he doesn’t care. He has a narrative to follow, facts be damned.

“I thank Congressman Ron Paul for bringing to the public’s attention the Federal Reserve coverup of the source of the Watergate burglars’ source of funding and the defective audit by the Federal Reserve of the bank that transferred $5.5 billion from the U.S. government to Saddam Hussein in the 1980s. Congressman Paul directed these comments to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke at the House Financial Services Hearing February 24, 2010. I question Chairman Bernanke’s dismissive response…”

Robert Auerbach is Professor of Public Affairs at the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin. He was an economist with the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee during the tenure of four Federal Reserve Chairmen: Arthur Burns, William Miller, Paul Volcker, and Alan Greenspan. Auerbach also served as an economist in the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Domestic Monetary Affairs during the first year of the Ronald Reagan administration and as a financial economist with the U.S. Federal Reserve System.

Well maybe not.

The most amazing thing is that people like her regularly get elected to high office in this country.

AZ, that’s less than a hair’s width difference…

Retire all debt and buy lead!

Couldn’t agree more, especially buy lead in denominations of .223, 9mm, and .45

I’ve been investing in precious metals for a few years now, copper clad lead in a brass casing is quite pretty. Don’t limit yourselves to three flavors though, .308, 30.06, .22lr, and 12 ga. are very important as well. A diverse portfolio can get you through the hardest of times.

You’re right, and I despise Paul too.
