I was listening to 640am, using it as an alarm, but something caught my attention. The show guest Mark Belling was substituting Rush in his usual right wing indoctrination.

He said that we should not allow the government tell our banks how to run the business. I am going,- "obviously not!"

But then he says he means the banks that have received the bailout money. Wait a second, he actually proposes that all that free pork is given to the banks without any bad consequences!

So, I am interested. I keep listening to find out what kind of trick he will use to justify this stupidity. And there it goes.

Mark Belling says that the banks and corporations already do what their investors tell them to do, because this is where the money come from. Because of that, he says, there is no reason to let the government run the corporations and banks that were bailed out. Besides, What experience Obama has in running a business?

You see, this kind of lies is why I know that Rush Limbaugh is not sincere, is not for capitalism, is not for freedom.

He lies like this constantly, and apparently, he is consistent in his choice of guests as well.

Let's examine the Mark's argument. He says that corporations and banks already ruled by investors, because this is where the money come from. But in this sentence, he conveniently omits what the business experience of those investors is. So, as long as you invest, your experience does not matter.

Now he tells us that government shouldn't control bailed out banks because Obama has no business experience. You see, suddenly, experience becomes most important, and the fact that Obama bails the bank out does not even enter the calculation.

This lies are why right wing has none of my respect. You can't fight a good fight, if you lower yourself to the dirt that you fighting against. You cant say commies lie, while you use lies in your own arguments.

I've been listening too. and I am hearing a completely different angle than you are.

The arguement he's making is that the government dictating salary limits is a foot in the door for other government control of businesses.

What he was saying about investors and stockholders is that in a very real way they are who owns any publicly traded business. If investors don't like what they're seeing in the way a company is running their business, they go the open market and ump their shares.

So if a ceo sees his stock plummeting on the open market, it's an indication that his shareholders are displeased and that changes need to be made on some way or another..

Come, nogames, I thought your cerebral cortex wasa little more advanced than to take analysis of the way markets operate for lies.

It's not a lie to say that stock holders have influence in the way a company is run.. whether they have any corporate experience or not.

What's being discussed is the danger of allowing people in government like Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi tell businesses how they need to make decisions..

what happens when one of these companies needs to hire a new CEO? They're being restricted to hiring out of what is essentially the minor leagues when they limit salaries like they want to do.

We just want the banks to be accountable for the money they received. That is most certainly not a trend.

If I were to ever borrow money from my parents, you better believe that they would ask what the money is for.

If I were to ever borrow money from my parents, they would
ask what it is for. I know them. Then they would choose to give me or not give me the money for the reason that I want it. You may call it dictating the terms, but it's their money and their choice.

The trend I am seeing....the little guy who lives paycheck to paycheck is being laid off. Not the CEO.

They are to receive the rest of the bail out money. They didn't receive it all at once. Obama wants to put something in it for accountability after it was discovered what had been done with the previous monies.
