Alan Greenspan Say Let The Tax Increases Roll!
In a stunner, and I don’t use that adjective lightly, former, and good riddance Fed Chairman Alan Greespan was on Meet the Press Sunday promoting tax increases.
In case you missed it for good reasons like mucking out the bird cage, here’s the scoop…
When asked by the young, dashing host of Meet the Press host, David Duchovny, the direct question, ” You don’t agree with Republican leaders who say tax cuts pay for themselves?”
MR. GREENSPAN: They do not.
In other words, Greenspan doesn’t believe in tax cuts. The ONLY way you get tax cuts these days is to put them in place and let them pay for themselves as they have done time after time. It’s the way it works.
There have ever only been two real czars in this country. J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI and Alan Greenspan of the Fed. In contrast, the rest have been piddly little czarinas. (Little czars.)
For years, Greenspan was the darling of the presidents and wielded more and totally secret power than the Russian czars with his goings on at the Fed. He was in power through some of the worst financial times in the nation’s history. To this day I don’t know if he ameliorated or caused the financial collapse and aftermaths during his tenure at the Fed. More, I have often wondered if his actions laid the groundwork for where we are today.
Greenspan either had a stroke early on and is only well now, or has had a stroke recently. Either way, his current comments are bizarre to say the least.
In the next article, you’ll learn that Greenspan was one of Ayn Rand’s earliest disciples. And if Rand could, she would rise from her low place in the ground and simply pinch his head off. It’s that serious.
Greenspan committed blasphemy of the most egregious sort.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand Book Review
Have you ever wondered why some of the big name rich industrialists of our age who should be God fearing republican conservatives turn out to be vacuous, elite, pustulated, liberal Obama voters? Wonder no more. A little lady who came for a visit, but overstayed her visa a bit, solved that mystery more than 50 years ago!
I just finished reading Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. I’m a fast reader, but at better than 1300 pages in paperback, it still took a looong time. There are worlds of stuff about Ayn Rand on the net, good and bad, so you’ll have no problem going further with your researches. I think my conservative review is as good as any pointy headed college educated liberal wacamole intellectual any time so you’re going to get it, especially if you are still reading.
As we all must, Ayn Rand came and went. January 20 1905 – March 6, 1982.
Originally a Roosian, she came to the United States in her teens, shortly after the revolution and stayed. She worked in Hollywood, wrote movie stuff, and must have been a real piece of work as a pal. She was evidently an atheist, thought faith was for suckers, and worshiped the sign of the dollar with a passionate zeal that by comparison would make an ardent Southern Baptist preacher look like a heretic. She was the essence of the essence of capitalism.
A failed disciple of hers will stun you. Ever heard of Alan Greenspan, the Fed God who led his children from monetary wilderness to monetary wilderness until he led them into the greatest monetary wilderness and then took a powder? Yes, Greenspan was a big believer in Rand and her theories, though he didn’t quite make the grade in real life.
What she wrote, she wrote from the standpoint of capitalism. Nothing else mattered, neither meat nor mountains.
Whatever else, she was brilliant with a capital B. Stunningly accurate about what’s going on in America…TODAY. She had NO well of knowledge to draw on. She was ahead of everyone…Goldwater, Regan, Rush…Everyone, and vastly more. She wrote the book on what is…why is… and what’s to come.
I doubt that any of our talking head heroes have read Atlas Shrugged all the way through, precisely because it is semi-science fiction, long, and extraordinary boring in places.
In my view, it is 3 books in one:
One third of the book is a love story from old movie love story hell.
Another third is Rand’s view on her very own made up philosophy called “objectivism.”
The best third is the part that will open up your eyes to what’s really going on around you with Obama, may his name be blessed 72 times, and his minions.
With the very power of old Nostradamus himself, Rand, in a book published in 1957, Atlas Shrugged. accurately predicts where the country is today and where it’s going if the shadows of things to come remain unaltered.
Keeping in mind that editors universally despise everything I write, Rand, isn’t an accomplished story teller. The looooong arc of her book is kinda clumsy, actually, particularly the ending. I promise, I give nothing away by telling you this. Regardless, if you are a conservative, you are GOING TO FINISH the book, even if it injures you. If you are Obama, you’re writing your own version this very minute.
Frankly, my suspicion is that her book serves mainly to give light to her theory of objectivism. However, in the meantime, if only one third of the book is concerned with what YOU are going to go ape over, that comes to a nify 450 pages! It’s a books worth of reading inside the book.
The plot is fairly simple for a 1300+ page book. Rand creates a dystopia where a girl named Dagny with a railroad falls for a gay ladies man from Argentina named Francisco, then a steel tycoon named Hank, and then…..well, that would be telling.
While all this is going on, in a world where most countries are called, “People States of“…. kind hearted industrialists start giving away the store, bringing on the Peoples State of America, where everyone is taken care of because they want to be taken care of, and nobody is better than anybody else, and Obama gets his way.
Actually, in the book Atlas Shrugged, Obama is probably laying around drinking wine and eating cheese on Air Force One all day long. He’s not even in the book. Just as in our world, in the world of Atlas Shrugged, everything is being run by administration Czars, such as the uber Czar, Mr. Stanley Mouch played by Obama chieftan, RAHM EMANUEL who decried, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” IT’s IN THE BOOK!
Atlas Shrugged is unlike any other utopia book. While the real world of our lord Obama has many elements of 1984 and Brave New World and Animal Farm….Ladies and gentlemens, Atlas Shrugged has ALL the elements of our present situation, progressing to the logical outcome…and you may take it from me, it’s scary as hell, and right on the
button…unless the shadows of the future are changed.
But, spirit of Ayn Rand…Can it be changed??!
After you have read the book, as you watch your nightly television and get the latest utterly stupid, bizzare, deadly, ignorant, no comprehende Obama New Deal news, you will fall into my melodious television scream-chant of…. IT’s IN THE BOOK….IT’s IN THE BOOK….IT’s IN THE BOOK….
While Ayn Rand’s objectivism solution is elegant and may well work, it’s not the way most of us think. It’s not even the way most of could think if we tried. And frankly, if it did work, it would take the passion and zeal of a kool aid drinking liberal wacamole to make it work. Regardless, good theory or not, it ain’t happening.
Thus, Atlas Shrugged offers no real world solutions, but it does lay out exquisitely, and in great precision what is going on today and what will happen if it’s not stopped. It BLOWS AWAY all other books of its kind. And the really wonderful spooky thing of it is that it was written way back in 1957. The things in that book that relate to today were unknowable at the time. At that time there was simply no store of knowledge to use to guess the future that is ours. Nobody could have seen our situation coming in full, as Ayn Rand did in Atlas Shrugged.
By the way, the book ending of Atlas Shrugged is right out of the ending of the movie, “Things to Come.” If you know the movie of which I speak, and you read the book Atlas Shrugged, you’ll see what I’m talking about. If you neither know the movie or intend to read Atlas Shrugged, then never mind.
Most writers write about what they know. Some (mostly scifi writers and global warming and cooling fans) attempt extrapolation.
More often than not, when they extrapolate, that is, use contemporary knowledge to predict the future…most often they get it dead wrong. Most future things can not be known using this process…. But Rand divined the future…..down to the kool aid korpuscles flowing in the veins of namby pamby sissy liberals. If you only commit book suicide once in your life, you MUST read Atlas Shrugged.
You’re going see the daily news in a whole new….and more scary light than ever before.
As long as the suicides from states like Minnesota continue to inexplicably give us senators like popular lunatic fringe kool aid drinking left wing funny man Al Franken, you can rest assured that the spinning ghost of Ayn Rand continues to scream from the grave…. “It’s ALL in my flipping book! Moron!”
Thanks to Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged, knowing what we know of why things are, and what things are to come, why do we permit this political abomination to continue? Who is John Galt?
Haiti Hateful
Bill Clinton Hateful On Haiti
I venture to say that we have all been far more educated about the value of the federal gubment than we ever dreamed or wanted in the last two years. Many of our most cherished beliefs have gone down in flames as we see our government flailing about like headless chickens, flapping around in the face of the most rudimentary dealings.
Bill Clinton, the founder of this current mess we find ourselves in today, and procurator of Haiti, is royally ticked about the progress in Haiti, which President Obama charged him with.
Clinton stated that relief funds to Haiti have been slow in coming. The United States which promised nearly $1.5 billion has to date paid only $30 million into the relief fund, and Clinton is p’o'ed.
I find myself torn. On the one hand, like you, I feel bad for the devastated nation. On the other, I know…now…that there is no hope that most of our tax money will do the rank and file there any good at all.
If the $Trillion dollar improvement fund stolen from the taxpayers by Congress did as little good as we all knew it would, right here at home, then what hope is there that the billion dollars promised to Haiti will reach the intended? It’s ludicrous to expect anything other than massive corruption.
For all of my life, and generations before, our country has given away more money than is humanly imaginable. And I, like you, was content in the understanding that at least if we didn’t like a lot of it, then, at least, it was doing some good.
Now, I know better. I know that most of that money was thrown down a rat hole and I can only hope to God that the rats who received most of it were vacationing in the idyllic Haiti island nation when the big one hit.
American foreign aid is the biggest con ever conceived on the face of the earth by confidence men who selflessly work the system for their own enrichment.
I come to this conclusion very reluctantly. But to believe otherwise is to believe that Santa Claus visits the desert to bring Gatorade to thirsty pilgrims on Christmas day. Oh, for the innocence we all had only two short years ago.
