Video: “What about the lunatics that spent $16.4 trillion and want another check?”

Evans read a statement from an “overseas analyst” who said that the “economy was recovering” and that he expected bond yields to increase in coming months.

The analyst said that the only obstacle he sees to the continued expansion of the U.S. economy were “lunatic Republicans” who may bring about an “insane technical default” when they attempt to negotiate spending cuts as part of a deal to increase the debt ceiling limit.

“That’s the worry here,” Evans concurred. “Will we have a self-inflicted wound – a gunshot to the head?”

“What about the lunatics that spent $16.4 trillion and want another check? Aren’t they the crazies, Kelly,” Santelli asked pointedly. “Why are the lunatics the people that say ‘overspending and creating too much debt’ are lunatics?’”

…and Obama will give it to them:

Google
Green companies
The phone lady and her fools
Moochers all around
Looters, the worst human scum on Earth, with Obama their well-living emperor.

All the fools who brung him, no matter the side, burn in Hades.

The analyst said that the only obstacle he sees to the continued expansion of the U.S. economy were “lunatic Republicans” who may bring about an “insane technical default” when they attempt to negotiate spending cuts as part of a deal to increase the debt ceiling limit.

…and I’m sure this “analyst” probably still walks around blaming this disastrous economy on Bush while this type of massive corruption by the Obama administration goes on without the slightest yelp from the MSM:

The Mega Scandal Everyone Has Forgotten
Fannie, Freddie, and Congress get off scot-free.

…..well hell yes…of course the massive debt and 103% GDP to debt ratio we have now is the fault of those crazy Republicans that want to cut spending and have had little to no power on the Hill for the past 5 years that this massive debt has been incurred…..

Just like the Sub-prime corruption was all Bush’s fault and not the fault of the Congressmen who supported it and the Fannie’s and Freddie’s that put it in action.

Keep F#%king that chicken a$$hole.

This guy will get purged soon. He isn’t toeing the line.

The media is the enemy. Organize and fight.

Speaking of a ‘lunatic’ it seems bho has put his golden voice to hail another business and it is now closing! Any business here in the US should NEVER have bho near them or have him speak of them? Wonder how many have cratered like this since bho was elected?

Couldn’t believe this comment by Evans:
….”That’s the worry here…is that as we’re seeing all these things fall into place”…..

…..”Fall into place”…..we have economist from across the spectrum coming out and talking about how Obama’s “victory” is a major job killer and will be a major drag on the economy….

• They’ll hurt the economy. Economists are admitting the fiscal deal will slow the already sluggish economic growth.

Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi says the higher taxes on the wealthy and the increase in payroll taxes will shave close to 1 point off GDP growth this year and result in 600,000 fewer new jobs.

Pantheon Macroeconomic Advisors chief economist Ian Shepherdson figures the deal will cut GDP by 1.5 points. And Gallup’s chief economist Dennis Jacobe says the deal has created a “higher probability of recession — just the opposite of what fixing the fiscal cliff was intended to do.”

….so this is the business genius idea of “falling into place”…..

For the love of God Evan’s…wipe your chin off already.

Junkies get a little edgy when their supply is threatened.

The whole complaint is premised on the concern that bond yields should continue recover.

Does anyone find it interesting that those whose interests are higher bond rates rely mostly on government debt to profit from it?

continue recover = continue to recover

Dusty on January 4, 2013 at 2:08 PM

Not fair! He used his brain!
