Barney Franks Say Deficit Needs To Take Back Seat

Author | jacob | Posted on | October 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

In an interview on CNN, Barney Franks — the guy who brought you the mortgage crisis and all that trickle down poverty that comes with it — said that we need to increase government spending and taxes.  He also said the deficit worries need to take a back seat.  Hot Air  has the youtube clip of the interview.

    Dr. Savage’s phrase was “Trickle UP Poverty.”

  • Quote of the New Year

    Last March, NASA reported the oceans have been cooling for the last five years. Sea level has stopped rising, and Northern Hemisphere cyclone and hurricane activity is at a 24-year low.

    Environmental extremists and global warming alarmists are in denial and running for cover. Their rationale for continuing a lost cause is that weather events in the short term are not necessarily related to long-term climatic trends. But these are the same people who screamed at us each year that ordinary weather events such as high temperatures or hurricanes were undeniable evidence of imminent doom.

    Now that global warming is over, politicians are finally ready to enact dubious solutions to a non-existent problem. In Britain, Parliament is intrepidly forging ahead with a bold new plan to cool the climate, even as London experienced its first October snowfall since 1934 and Ireland went through the coldest October in the last 70 years.

    This is an absurd spectacle. Our advanced civilization is being systematically mismanaged by technologically illiterate lawyers responding to political pressures from irrational fanatics. Would someone please tell these people it is impossible to overturn the laws of thermodynamics?
