The problem with the Tea Party is they're looking for their lost keys under the street lamp where the light is better instead of where the keys were lost ...on K Street.

My apologies, ..programs downloaded, ..taxes now submitted.
I will responsibly pay my penalties.

But now:
Was Peter Frampton in the audience for that "1966 Stax-Volt European Tour" where the below Sam and Dave classic was recorded?
Compare the "adagio" sections:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7rFYbMhcG8 (..at 4:00 mins.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_juH0AHvwk&NR=1 (..at 2:40 mins.)
Yes, maybe that was even the young Mr. Frampton right there in that English audience, ..with his head lowered, and his hands clapping the beat.
The next time I hear that Frampton song on the radio, I will surely remember Mr. Sam Moore's knowing grin!
Sam, Dave, Booker, Donald, Steve, Peter, ..we're all in this together!

Tomorrow I replace AT&T as my ISP with Time Warner. I'll keep this old machine -- but move down stairs where I can work closer to my better half who needs me more than does Washington DC. I know they read my comments all the time and change our national direction accordingly. They have never paid me for all my good advice. But they do allow me to pay my income tax because they know its MY MONEY not theirs.
Yeah. I got a printing press. And my name is Ben Bernanke.
If you never hear from me again, remember I died with fingers on the keyboard and my heart in the right place.
YES -- I still like Paul Johnson, historian extraordinaire. About three years my junior with more than 50 books to his credit, he is an ardent anti-Keynesian. I dearly hate him for that. But I love him for so much else, I have to forgive his not cottoning to money cranks. He sees nations' checkbooks as no more powerful than a corporation's. He's not into real economics and computer assisted logistical as science the answer to material want. It's NOT you Daddy's Oldsmobile. Its all electric and runs on hydrogen. Its got a dozen robots under the hood able to guide you to the promised land no matter how much you wish we had William Harding sitting a horse on a walk in the park. Johnson can write 3000 words in a day each one of which he knows how to spell and when it arrived on earth.

The Tea Party are today our RIGHT WING anti-government anti-labor vote. Congressman Dennis Kuscinich and Senator Bernie Sanders are the LEFT WING without an equivalent party voice.
The Tea Party are mad as hell.
The LEFT is not mad as a hatter -- they do not want Obama replaced by a Donald Trump heir to Senator John McCain. The LEFT hate war as much as our enemies hate America.
Claw back the ill gotten gains -- it would take many years and the proceeds would be chicken feed.
If we want America to reclaim its manufacturing jobs and industrial power we have to vote for a CENTRIST LEADER. That means an OXYMORON.
John Huntsman, Ambassador to China ex-governor of Utah is a centrist Mormon intellectual politician. He is near to being an all white Obama. Would he mobilize our economy to end the depression with a burst of energy to win (a) energy independence, (b) radical advance in education reform, and (c) infrastructure repair and advance, -- to put the whole nation to work? NO. Only a leader would do that!
General David Petraeus is a leader of men and nations. He is our Charles de Gaulle -- but no where near as tall. Is he our Bonaparte?
We are looking for Abraham Lincoln. One is born every century or two. Lincoln was saved and re-elected by Sherman and Grant with the fall of Atlanta. Obama would like to be Lincoln. If Biden would step down and Petraeus step up to Secretary of Defense NOW and Vice President in 2012, America might come out of its internal divisiveness nightmare.

I was out tree cutting today, ..and I remembered Charlie's question here: "Steven? ..why isn't the public more angry at the Tea Party?"
My first reaction was "Because the Tea Party IS the public."
But you know? ..I didn't initially question what it is about this group of people loosely labled as "Tea Party'ers" that made Charlie suggest there was something for which they owed an apology to America!
How could it be that any American owes someone an apology for a vote they cast within a democracy??
Why did I not immediately react to his suggestion of such?
How could it be that I apparently let the broadcast media beat into me such blindered slavishness?
How is "Why aren't the American people more angry at them?", any different from "Good Golly, I hope none of those people come into my store."
I thought I, and we, were stronger.

Watching CNBC House of CArds alot of people profited from
the agreed upon improprieties of the meltdown. So, why can't we clawback their assets? If Democrats were in complete power thats what would happen. All the crooks would be paying back their ill gotten gains yet of course
that can't happen since ...well, I don't know why it couldn't happen. Oh, republicans support the crooks. If I were dictator, and I'd be the benign dictator, I just tell all the crooks to cough it up to make grandma whole again or we send in the swat teams and just seize everything.

America needs a FULL EMPLOYMENT BUDGET -- not a budget aimed at satisfactory liquidity alone.
We run a NATIONAL DEFENSE BUDGET -- aimed at maintaining forces capable of deterring attack.
If we do not raise our sights from a ND BUDGET surplus -- that is avoiding deficits -- to a FE BUDGET that avoids deficits in jobs as well as money to rapidly create jobs where suddenly there are none, we will have failed as a nation of free people determined to keep it that way.

REM argues that we cannot export because we are inflating our money supply. THAT IS PROOF THAT REM HAS HIS LOGIC AND PICTURE OF REALITY BACKWARDS.
If we inflate, that drives the dollar DOWN and the currencies held by those who buy our exports UP. So our products get cheaper for foreigners to buy with euros, etc., every day.
REM is totally out of touch with ideas that might be helpful.
Pearlstein has it closer to correct. Investments by government are necessary to attract yet more private investment in our future. Government investment is necessary because profits on them will be slow in coming for infrastructure, early education, fundamental R&D, smart power grids, the hydrogen economy big-time, etc.
Where everyone is crazy-wrong is on health cost. Assume we had to spend much more to be much healthier. It would be a bargain. We would pay the higher costs WITH PRODUCTS the care providers bought with the extra money they earned.
NeilMacCallister 04/14/2011 09:05 PM Report
However, ..Thank you, Mr. Pearlstein, for the invigorating suggestion of Rep. Ryan and Pres. Obama debating on Charlie Rose.
"Hear, Hear!!"
NeilMacCallister 04/14/2011 01:56 PM Report
The tea party is willing to get into what Mr. Pearlstein sees as "tiresome and vacuous debates about the budget".
What budget, Mr. Pearlstein??? ..the U.S. "budget" has been a shameful laughing-stock for years!!! ..and is now paraded for its attaining "historic" heights of insanity!
..but you find budget debates "tiresome and vacuous"?

Charlie asks "Why isn't the public more angry at the Tea Party?"
The Tea Party IS the public, Mr. Rose!!
God bless the engaged public!
NeilMacCallister 04/14/2011 01:38 PM Report
Yes, Tabs! Our future will be owned by either OUR Tea Party, or China's!
Charlie does disrespect the Tea Party, but it gets worse elsewhere: Congressional Rep. Anthony Weiner spoke on TV the other day about the Democrats' need to "silence the Tea Party votes" in Congress!!!!!!!!!
Good Golly!! ..is this 1868 all over again????
Shame on you, Rep. Weiner, for spending taxpayer time to hobble American voting rights!
tabs 04/14/2011 01:26 PM Report
It is with great dismay that Mr Pearlstein has a pejorative view of the Tea Party and their expressed fiscal concerns. Maybe Mr Pearlstein will change his view now that Mr Barber of the Financial Times has stated on your show Mr Rose, that the Chinese leadership is expressing views that are just like the Tea Parties views. Since the Chinese are the largest holder of American debt they are in a sense holding Mr Pearlsteins future in their hands, and it would be well, very foolish to dismiss the concerns that they and the Tea Party have.

Steven wrote a sensible column on this in yesterday's Post, "Budget fights are a lose-lose proposition" (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/budget-fights-are-a-lose-lose-proposition/2011/04/12/ AFJdwtSD_story.html) which was not uncritical of the admin.
Politically, I'm sure Obama has no desire to debate anyone before he has to. Plouffe would have a plffit. I am beginning to think tho that the man has a serious screw loose, like the last two chief executives. I am tired of seeing this nation run by children, so I came up with the idea for a "coalition" ticket headed by Dick Lugar for president, Lee Hamilton for vice president, Erskine Bowles as sec'y of state, Alan Simpson as sec'y of the treasury, Jim Webb as sec'y of defense, etc. I can certainly think of other suitable candidates, but you get the idea.
Personally, I think the problem with job creation is not with money for investment, but the absence of a sustainable market, because we are being undersold by nearly everyone, and that's mostly because we keep inflating our currency. If we wish to compete with them, we must, unlike the president, lower ourselves to a level commensurate with our means. A few more bubbles and it may come to that, or it may, by that time, be irremediable.
