someday people will once again have to take on their own responsibilities. Unfortunately it seems to be common to think that people in general are irresponsible, so the government (consisting of people), and the paxpayers (also people) have to take on the responsibilities of everyone. Sometimes people make mistakes. They must then pay a price.
Problem: government overspending and making connections with a very few private corporations caused us to adopt an unstable economic system, in which only way to keep it going is by spending more and more money every day for all eternity. So overspending led to the problem. The logic spending of more money we do not have is laughable on it's best day. Spending excessive money last year would have been irresponsible. (Not going to point out that this was still a democratic congress then.) The bailout that passed was irresponsible. This stimulus is irresponsible. Enough said. |

Driven,
What you suggest would lead to a depression the likes of have never been seen. Now, that would be irresponsible. Obama has assembled a fine economic team of individuals from Universities to Washington. Let's leave the economic thinking to the professionals.. |

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=11903617&ch=4226716&src=news Feb 6, 2009 A Band Of Outsiders Earlier on Friday, President Obama announced a team of outside economic advisers to help boost an economy in a virtual free-fall. The president signed an executive order creating the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. In a statement, the White House said the board will offer independent advice in regular briefings to the president, vice president and their economic team. The White House said the board's initial focus will be programs to "jump-start economic growth." Mr. Obama has already tapped Volcker, a top Obama adviser, as the leader of the high-profile panel of advisers. Members will include former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman William Donaldson, TIAA-CREF President-CEO Roger Ferguson and Harvard University professor Martin Feldstein, who wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece last year titled "John McCain Has a Tax Plan To Create Jobs." Obama friend and campaign finance chairwoman Penny Pritzker also is on the board, as are two labor officials - Anna Burger of Service Employees International Union and Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO. Also named to the 15-member board: John Doerr, Partner, Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers Mark T. Gallogly, Founder & Managing Partner, Centerbridge Partners L.P. Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO, General Electric Co. Monica C. Lozano, Publisher & Chief Executive Officer, La Opinion Jim Owens, Chairman & CEO, Caterpillar Inc. Charles E. Phillips, Jr., President, Oracle Corporation David F. Swensen, CIO, Yale University Laura D'Andrea Tyson, Dean, Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley Robert Wolf, Chairman & CEO, UBS Group Americas http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/06/politics/100days/economy/main4779506.shtml |

Driven, What you suggest would lead to a depression the likes of have never been seen. Now, that would be irresponsible. Obama has assembled a fine economic team of individuals from Universities to Washington. Let's leave the economic thinking to the professionals.. but don't you think this should have been done and fully analyzed before jumping head-first into another $700B+ bill that nobody is sure will fix the economy? This is like holding a trial for a guy after you execute him. |

He created a similar team in Nov.
This time; The president signed an executive order creating the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. More formal! Different and yet the same! |

Don't tell me you think he devised this plan on his own.
A man knows his limits. Well a smart man anyway, and Obama is not an economists. He never claimed to be, but he is a leader, and leaders, well good leaders anyway, assemble qualified unbiased people around them. Obama is a leader! |

Let's see. Monica Lozano is the Board Chair of the National Council of La Raza. Also, she is the publisher and ceo of La Opinion. La Raza is one of the organizations that promote illegal immigration. La Raza advocates total amnesty, driver's license, and voting rights for illegals. How could she possibly contribute economic expertise. Read some of La Opinion. Ms Lozana was a board member Bank of America when illegal aliens got credit cards and loans. Let's see. Penny Pritzker was board member of Chicago's Superior Bank. The bank's failure was due to mismanagement and irresposible subprime lending. http://rationalliberty.com/index.php/2009/02/06/obama-announces-new-economic-recovery-advisory-board |

Tough titty aye raider.. WASHINGTON – With job losses soaring nationwide, Senate Democrats reached agreement with a small group of Republicans Friday night on an economic stimulus measure at the heart of President Barack Obama's plan for combatting the worst recession in decades. "The American people want us to work together. They don't want to see us dividing along partisan lines on the most serious crisis confronting our country," said Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of three Republican moderates who broke ranks and pledged their votes for the bill. More here; http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/congress_stimulus I hope something happens soon. I would like to see some of the fat cut out, the long term stuff needs to be examined to make sure it is necessary at this time and we need the money to be put into "right now" type things but other than that they need to act, things are getting bad out here. The job losses alone are scary. |

Penny Pritzer Her business career hit a bump in 2001, with the costly failure of Superior Bank FSB, a Chicago-area thrift that was seized by federal regulators after it ran into problems with subprime lending. The Pritzker family held a 50% stake, and Ms. Pritzker had been on the board of the bank’s holding company. Anxious to avoid further embarrassment and liability, the Pritzkers and their co-owner settled with federal officials by agreeing to pay $460 million over 15 years. Nearly all of the funds came from the Pritzkers. Ms. Pritzker says she regrets what happened. Some critics of Sen. Obama have cited Ms. Pritzker’s role in the bank failure, arguing that it undermines the candidate’s criticisms of subprime lenders who target low-income borrowers. http://amok.asianweek.com/2008/03/15/subprime-pritzker-pure-gold-for-obama/ This lady is the subprime mortgage queen. Despite the settlement, there are still individuals that are out of a lot of money. |

Often we learn more from our mistakes than our successes.
This was 8 yrs ago and she isnt in jail so I assume she did make good on the mistakes she made and probably knows better than most how not to repeat them. Maybe this is why she is the Economic Recovery Advisory Board. |
