But there is a theme there nonetheless - those are guys are or were very honest and upfront about their beliefs and policies.

agreed.

 

Oh, and I'm not sure if he really counts as a politician, but I love Bob Gates to death.

thanks

how so? This thread is about politicians we like. Not necessarily who we vote for.

Just an observation, all of those guys are very, very far apart from each other politically. I happen to like all of them too.

I never argued the power of the Fed, nor did I say that a quick explanation was the end all be all of the economic history of northwest Indiana. I am also smart enough to realize that they do not have anywhere near the complete control of the economy that the conspiratilists would have you believe. Especially in this day and age, it had become less and less, that is until the Obama administration showed up and gave the government absolute power over just about everything.

 

I don't think you are going to shake me off of thirty years of research and observation either, especially with an economics degree to back up my understanding of how the economic sector actually works.

LOL. Get 10 economists in a room and you have 11 different opinions. Would like to hash this out with you in the real world some day. Probably won't happen, I don't get to the midwest much. Oh by the way, I'm not a conspiracy theory kind of guy. Most conspiracy theories are BS. I still don't like the Fed. I still appreciate AJ for beating back the dogs and actually paying off the debt. What a novel idea. We're now looking at the possiblity of the permanent lowering of American living standards. You don't need an economics degree to see as Ollie once said to Stan "what a fine mess" we've got ourselves into.
