overheard conversation

[TheCoxwain]

My office building houses a few investment firms including Ron Insana's company .. I've actually been with him a couple time in the elevator..

Anyway there are a bunch of Suspender-wearing investment bankers who get together at the office cafeteria at lunch everyday .... Ive always assumed they talked something business related - Today I was sitting on a table next to them and overheard them bitching about the Obama budget ... They had very mournful looks ..One guy said that Pelosi and Harry Reid were spending money like "Third World Dictators"...

"Third world Dictators" ... HELLO???

I can understand them being upset about higher taxes ..... But Dictatorship in USA??? ... These guys are messed up in the head .. No wonder the Financial system is in the toilet...

1. These guys should be grateful we're not lining them all up against the wall.

Believe me I'm ready.

3. amen

ive even told a few republicans that.

if this were a 'communist' dictatorship like they wish it was and claim it is..
theyd have already been blind folded and up against the wall.

2. I can't say I'm surprised. This is the narrative of the last 30 years.

When the GOP spends money like it grows on trees, and simultaneously lowers taxes, that is A-OK. Sound Growth Strategy!

When a Democrat spends money, for anything, even if they pay for it with taxes, it's Black Helicopter Time.

5. Suspenders

Reminiscent of the old quip from the '80's:

"How come the guys who talk about "belt-tightening" are always the ones wearing suspenders?"

6. It's projection (and copycat).

The RW is now saying the things about Obama that the far-left said about Bush-Cheney (and which were pretty much true).

(Just look at Glenn Beck who now sounds worse than Alex Jones).

7. I don't think RWers even have any idea what communism, fascism

or for that matter democracy and capitalism mean. They only know that these are words that evoke a reaction.
