What I said was he was repeating a liberal lie, not that he was a liberal.

So let’s address the actual message - which is that this whole thing was foreseeable. You know that; you and I had conversations about it years before it came unraveled.

"Who didn’t know a system that makes the rich richer while the poor get poorer would someday face a curtain call" -- Really, I've heard this absurd liberal lie way too long. This is nothing more that class warfare rhetoric. Mankiw's discussed the "real wage decline" issue awhile ago:

Give me a break, Josh. Now Parker Palmer is a liberal?

Let the Market work, punish stupidity! This from a guy that will likely see a 6 figure drop in holdings today...

Totally agree (like I said a few days ago, I found myself agreeing with Senator Shelby which happens about once a century.)

in FDIC Fright on The Cosmic Tap
I know it is to the advantage of Liberals in an election year to hype any bad news, but the reality is the FED will step in, as it's done in the past, if the FDIC or Fannie/Freddie needs money.
I wonder if Obama is elected, if your "concerns" will disappear, and that same news stories will receive the same level of concern. This smells of the 1992 Clinton tactic of hyping the "bad economy" and somehow declaring it was magically fixed after election day.
The reality is that the mild early 90s recession was over by 1992, and we are not even in one today.

Well, you'll need to go scold those "liberals" - not me - if you think they're unduly hyping things, but speaking for myself I don't think it's really possible to overhype this. Most Americans are under-hyping it with heads in the sand.
We are undergoing the economic cataclysm that I have been predicting (on these pages) for years.
So, the Fed will step in because the FDIC is too big to fail, right? Well, is the Fed too big to fail? Who steps in when the Fed's ink is worthless? Your comment smacks far more of liberalism than mine - that a Nanny Bank will step in to save us from ourselves, and all will be OK. I hope it will be that easy, but I don't think it will.
A different President is not going to change this situation much. The next President is going to be sailing through some really nasty economic waters.
