CNBC 8:30am: Steve Forbes Talking About Weak Dollar As Main Cause Of Problems

[greendiseaser]

Yep.
Kudlow trying to talk about his MIA "Goldylocks Economy" and having panel discussion that included Steve Forbes.

They talked about which candidate would be best for the economy and most desired by Wall St. Of course they failed to mention Ron Paul at all, but something interesting did happen.

Forbes, who has previously been on with Kudlow talking in support of a gold backed competing currency, said that he "wished the current administration would recognized the fundamental problem with the economy ... something that Reagan recognized ... that you can't have a strong economy in the longview with a failing currency. The US dollar is very weak right now, and no one is talking about it. I wish the curent administration would do more to combat that problem."

Kudlow agreed with him.

They also talked about the Democratic party, and i believe it was Forbes who said, "of course there is a certain level of economic ignorance that one has to have to be a member of that party.

ROFL.

This truly feels like we're living in the Twilight Zone. This entire election from the get-go. Pat Robertson, whose main spoken goal is the protection of the unborn endorses the _most pro-abortion candidate. Steve Forbes whose main spoken goal for the last 12 years at least has been the protection of the dollar endorses McCain who wants interest rates at zero. What's going on here?

I know what you mean. Steve Forbes endorsing the most economically challenged candidate is beyond me. What kills me is that no one on these msm money networks ever talks about how we are rapidly becoming more and more socialist by the effing minute. I have not heard in over a 100 hours of watching cnbc one reference to the obvious fact that we are a socialist state. China has less taxes than us. What the F**k has happened to this country! Wake up people!

McCain doesn't want interest rates at zero. It's worse, he just doesn't have any clue about the economy. He was the one during the 2000 election cycle who said that Greenspan should be kept at the Fed forever, and when he dies we should prop him up and keep him there like Weekend at Bernies (yeah, he really said that).

McCain has no clue about interest rates, the dollar, or anything else that has to do with the economy. No Clue.

I'm laughing at these candidates becasue when they become president, they are gonning to get a slap in the face briefing as to what is really going on....LOL

theywil realize that the petrodollar (google that) is failing. If the Iranian oil bourse gets going, the dollar is gonna dro pby about 20 to 40%........ then with deficite spending, it will take it down some more....... of course, this may take 3-5 years to play out..... if they raise interest rates, they are screwed as well.....the only choice they have is to inflate....so hillary, mccain....none of them matter.........they are just stupid politicians who think they can usher america into a golden age of greatness......pffff.....they'll get a reality check soon enough!
