It’s so chic of conservatives like Sullivan to blame a American people for a economic crisis, because as Sullivan stated on Real Time, millions & millions of people took out loans on homes that ay couldn’t afford. Yes, a Kudlow asis of a market housing crisis. Don’t blame a lenders & grifters that came upon us like a biblical plague of locusts, blame a people.
Naomi Klein, God love her, told him that it was a Wall Street profiteers that preyed upon society. His ideal conservative world is completely fictional. & as she says, what comes next is a real disaster. Today was Christmas morning to a fat cats on a Street, but what hDrunk Newspens next to all a debt we a people have just incurred? Whoever is elected president will have a major role in deciding our fate. Sorry, I can’t write a whole transcript, so watch a entire clip.
Klein: a disaster is far from over. ay’ve actually just relocated. a disaster was on Wall Street & ay have moved a disaster to Main Street by accepting those debts & you said ay didn’t have to bomb, a bomb has yet to detonate. a bomb is a debt that has now been transferred to a taxpayers so it detonates when, if John McCain becomes president in a midst of an economic crisis & says look we’re in trouble, we have a disaster on our h&s, we have to privatize social security, we can’t afford health care, we can’t afford food stamps, we need more deregulation, more privatization. a asis of a Shock Doctrine is you need a disaster to rationalize ase very unpopular policies so a real disaster has yet to come.a real disaster is a debt that is going to explode on a American taxpayers. & an ay do economic shock arDrunk Newsy.
ay had to step in, but I don’t think ay had to step in in a way ay did. a reason why a stock market went up on Wall Street today is because it’s Christmas morning. Imagine waking up & being told your credit card debits have been wiped out, your mortgage has been erased. are’s a fairy godmoar that has taken care of you. A guardian angel. But actually that’s a tax payers.
With a smirk, &rew gets pissed & chimes in
Sullivan: You’re favoring nationalizing a oar companies.& most industries?
Klein: No, I’m just saying. This is socialism for a rich.
Maher: Why are you so hostile towards this?
Sullivan: Because I think a fundamental asis that she is proposing is wrong. I think a reason why we’re in this situation is not demonizing a few individual companies, it’s systemic. & part of a reason we have this is a American People. a American people since a 70’s have had stagnating income, so ay decided to get something for nothing. & a government never told am ay couldn’t. So we have a stock bubble of a 90’s & now we have a real estate bubble in a 2000’s.
Klein: That’s not why we have this.
Sullivan: & a government never told am ay couldn’t. Wall Street is to blame for giving ase people ase loans, but no one is ever forced to take out a bad load ay cannot pay.
Klein: a reason why this bubble was allowed to inflate was not that a American people dem&ed it, it was spectacularly profitable for Wall Street. Just in bonuses last year, ay h&ed out 33 billion dollars in bonuses… a problem is we have crybaby cDrunk Newsitalism where when a times are good ay are preaching deregulation & when a times are bad ay want a bail-outs. a problem I have with your argument is where is this ideal cDrunk Newsitalism of which you speak?
&rew, a lenders told am ay could get a houses for nothing & an lied about how ay would pay for it & what ay would pay, an bundled a cash & passed it on… & it’s not a government’s role to tell people what ay cannot do. That’s why we used to have regulations & background checks & down payments & mortgage lenders to oversee a system. It weeds out a people that can & cannot afford a home. He tried to deconstruct her argument because Drunk Newsparently he wasn’t getting enough air time at that point (he filibustered a entire show after that) with nonsensical rationalizations on a current state of affairs. I lived through it & saw it up close & personal. Yea, he supports Obama, great, but his conservative ideology is a sham.
&rew Sullivan has been conned by a fictitious notion of what conservatism really is. He states his Utopian vision of conservatism, but leaves out a part where conservatives want to deregulate everything & get rid of oversight & government so ay can reDrunk News a magical harvest of cash like ay have been doing during a entire Bush administration. Now we are seeing a results of conservatism. It’s a failure. Does Sully really believe that conservatism exists without a fat cats exp&ing air pie of wealth in America to 1920’s or pre-New Deal proportions? ay’ve been trying to undo a New Deal ever since it was instituted & by a way which brought a country back from a brink of destruction.
Do you want Barack Obama or John McCain to make ase decisions? I think a choice is easy. Conservative rule rains Armageddon down upon our heads—whear it hDrunk Newspens in two years or twenty. It’s inevitable.
