CNBC's Erin Burnett: We Need China's Toxic Food And Lead Coated Toys To Keep Economy Strong

"A lot of people like to say, uh, scaremonger about China, right? A lot of politicians, and I know you talk about that issue all the time. I think people should be careful what they wish for on China. Ya know, if China were to revalue it's currency or China is to start making say, toys that don't have lead in them or food that isn't poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up and that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up too. So, I would say China is our greatest friend right now, they're keeping prices low and they're keeping the prices for mortgages low, too."

The profit of the shareholders.

All else is irrelevant.

She will promote the profit of the shareholders - any shareholders, really - without reservations and above any other concern whatsoever.

She is, put plainly, evil.

CNBC is turning into RepubliCorpMedia's farm club . . . spreading the Wall Street/GOP-stroking scum to Faux and CNN. Erin's never known a painful moment in her spoiled and thoroughly pampered existence, which is what makes her the most perfect news ornament ever invented. If she had a soul, she wouldn't be where she's at today.
