Sen. Banking Cmte Member Brown (D-OH) Gets Counterfactual Hat-Trick On MSNBC
Posted by: Greg Hengler at 3:12 PM

Senate Banking Cmte member, Sherrod Brown (D-OH) appeared on MSNBC to share some economic insight. He scored a counterfactual hat-trick in a mere four minutes and thirty seconds--unheard of! His first goal came at the 0:30 mark when he told viewers that Republicans "threw softballs at the bankers" during the December and January hearings. The MSNBC anchors quickly pointed out his error.

Sen. Brown's second goal was scored at 1:18 when he declared there's "a lot of class warfare going on from conservatives." No clarification from MSNBC this time. First assist goes to Contessa Brewer with second assist going to Melissa Francis.

The third goal of Sen. Brown's counterfactual hat-trick was awarded at 3:59 when he assured MSNBC viewers: "We know that the New Deal worked.... Probably the fiscal stimulus wasn't strong enough." Assist from Brewer and Francis.

Where's the libs?
Where are the babbling brooks of life? The last two days there has been four threads they have avoided like a plague. Any issue they can't demagogue or blame Bush for they don't waste their time on. Defenseless things like being caught on tape. Facts, what facts. These are just a conservative heritage foundation hit piece. Don't mean nothin, lets get to the real problems. There, I have taken care of all the liberal inputs that are on other sites containing just as much eveidence but no tape.

Get out your old textbooks...
And try to remember how Keynesian economics just doesn't work. The John Maynard Keynes believed (very incorrectly) that in order to increase the economy as a whole, to just simply increase the size of government. This ridiculous school of economic thought dominated the colleges and politics until the mid seventies when economists like Milton Friedman and politicians like Ronald Reagan began teaching and supporting the open market. A few of their accomplishments include overcoming the USSR economically, getting the country out of some of the highest interest rates in history, and proving Keynesian economics incorrect. Can we please try to remember what haveing open and free markets is like. Perhaps then we can remind these dunce Democrats of the lessons they slept through in college and high school.
