The "Original" Source of the Recession...

http://mises.org/daily/3845

If you want to know how we got into this mess, read this article by the economist Murray Rothbard.

Keynes is the source of inflationary "Keynesian" economics, which advocates the printing of money out of thin air to pay for excessive government spending. He was not a 'pillar of the community.'

The ORIGINAL cause of the "recession" is Massachusetts. First was the Kennedy's- good riddance. Now you have and keep electing a moron that's worse than the Kennedy's- Barney Franks. Are you people up there just plain stupid?

Not all, but a majority.

Just like people in the rest of the country, people here aren't going to be bothered finding out about someone other than the name that they are used to. The vote for the same people, election after election, not because they are pleased with the way that they are being represented, but because the name is familliar.

I agree that for some reason Massachusetts breeds a lot of elites. I've got to tell you though that Boston and Cambridge are only a very minute portion of this state. What I see every day is a whole lot of blue collar people. Unfortunately, politically, they often ask to be lead around like sheep.
