Wall Street talking head makes thoughtful comment on Japan quake.
Posted: Mar 13, 2011
Larry Kudlow on the earthquake: "The human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll and we can be grateful for that," Kudlow responded. "And the human toll is a tragedy, we know that."
Guess he just made a slip of the tongue. They usually aren't quite so blatant about their greed.

I wouldn't usually take up for him, but from what I know of him - he probably was emotional
[ In Reply To ..]I have no doubt that he was thinking of the people. Even though I don't agree with his economic theories usually, I think he is a person who would really care about the personal tragedies. He probably was so overtaken by it all, as I am right now, almost in overload about it, his words just came out wrong.
Looking for the silver lining. Poor Larry. - nm

Give him a break. I'm a liberal Democrat who disagrees with him about everything - but he just misspoke
[ In Reply To ..]People need to give the guy a break on this one. He really is a kind person and means well. He's just wrong about his trickle-down theory, which never makes it down past the top.

They didn’t like it when Barack Obama, after a year of throwing trillions of American taxpayer dollars into the bailout sinkhole, dared remark that he had hoped there might be some return for ordinary folks tryin ...

Syria: Oil Prices Vs Wall StreetAug 29, 2013
That September drop you were expecting for gasoline prices? Don't hold your breath. Currently, gasoline averages $3.55 a gallon nationally, down from $3.63 a month ago. Most analysts had expected a drop to about $3.40 by early fall on seasonal demand slumping following the summer driving season. Not now. Some forecasters predict a short-term spike of up to 10 cents a gallon. Crude oil prices and gas futures are soaring on growing fears that if the U.S. military strikes at Syria for its h ...

Looking For Fraud? Don't Look At Food Stamp Recipients, Look At Wall StreetDec 03, 2013
Of late I see an alarming increase is welfare-bashing "journalism." I see it in my local news, they actually try to chase around the food stamp "cheats" and catch them out. Lazy journalism, IMHO. Why don't you expose the real cheats, the white collar criminals whose fraud is really hurting the system and this country? My pay has halved within 3 years, almost to the point I am eligible for some of these programs, not that I want to be. But how can someone in our job not have the sligh ...
The Most Important Wiileaks- How Wall Street Built The ObamaNov 18, 2016
Perhaps the most startling discovery of the WikiLeaks dumps so far didn't come from the most recent emails surrounding the various Hillary scandals, though there are many great ones, but from 2008 when John Podesta served as co-chair of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team. The email came from Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, who single-handedly built the entire cabinet of what was supposed to be the "main street" President. Just remember this when the MSM ...

Paul Krugman: "Wall Street's Bad Investment Decision."Nov 07, 2012
There are many lists now circulating of the biggest winners and losers from the election; oddly, however, none of the lists I’ve seen mentions just how bad this result is for Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe. The story, as you may recall, is that the financial industry — having brought both itself and the rest of the world to the edge of disaster — was bailed out by taxpayers. Yet far from being grateful, top financial types were furious at Obama for occasionally hi ...

They have had over 401 aftershocks and they are still continuing to have aftershocks up to 6.1. I'm afraid for the people. There are over ...
