Is it any wonder that the country is in the shape that it's in, with representatives like Pete Stark? Notice how the Congressman ridicules the interviewer's common sense question -- "Hasn't the amount of interest we have to pay increased tremendously?" - by asking where he studied economics and whether he has a Ph.D. I wonder if he does the same thing with his constituents?

Interviewer should have asked him
If that's true then every American who is debt is actually wealthy...is that what you are saying?
How does California find
How does California find these idiots? It was hard to tell whether Stark is more rude or more stupid or more arrogant, he scores 100% on all three.
If California seceded and took its idiot representatives out of Congress, it would radically improve the outlook for the rest of the nation.

Classic doublespeak.
Stark is an ass. He threatened bodily harm against the interviewer on camera. It doesn't take a PhD. to figure that one out. I'd press charges against him if I were him. At least his constituents see how he acts when he's cornered on a blatantly disingenuous answer like that.
He is either a complete moron and believes what he's saying or he's a complete tool.
It's a toss up.

My God!
Pelosi's stupidity, ignorance and inarticulateness boggle the mind! Daschle? Can't say what I think in polite company. And Richardson? Mother of God!
You know, I'm like a lot of people here. I come here. I read. My head explodes. I get depressed. I vow to stay away. I come back. Yeah.
I'm just not hopeful, folks. This "party" is over, I'm afraid.
WOW! Must See! Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi:
The Speaker of the House basically says that it would be illegal for someone to volunteer to work for McDonalds for free, but it's ok that people volunteer to work for her for free.

Then when challenged on her stupidity, Nacy Pelosi begins trying to give a speech, threatens that the interview is over, and calls the guards.

I would love to see Jan Helfeld do an interview with Ron Paul, and ask Ron Paul the exact same questions he asks Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank!
That would make for good comparison and sharing!

Poor congressman,
just needs some help. Somebody close by, as a good samaritan, should show him where his ass is and where his elbow is.
And if you're extra ambitious, show him the spot under his coattails where a Ron Pauler's foot goes as well.
Think this will help bigmike?

For an informed citizenry, individuals must discard the television set in favor of the acquisition of information via either books and/or the internet. An uneducated populous will remain in ignorance and thus continue to suffer the sharp ax of tyranny.
Nifty! I got that one. Number 151 I think.

Jan Helfeld
All his video interviews are great.
He is one of the best at asking the right questions to establish the premise and then ask the question that turns the premise on it's believer. He sets them up and then calls them on it.
The current system is debt money so in this sick way he is right.
If everyone paid every loan there would be zero federal reserve notes, no debt no notes.
This is the fed-Bankster way, they are a gang. Ricco ?
that's absolutely no way for
that's absolutely no way for a congressman to act!
wow holy shit.
i mean, i'm obviously fine with cussing, but......damn.
i mean......i'd probably cease that if i took some kind of office - or was any kind of public role model.
right?
or at least know when a camera is pointed in my general direction in my own office.
Hey Petey Boy...
I don't need a Fkn degree to know that I'm getting screwed.
"The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that." — Alan Greenspan
Technically true…
…ALL circulating money today is actually debt. If all debt was repaid tomorrow, virtually no money would exist. The only way to change this is by creating a new money system backed by something of value.
The money masters can create all the money they want (virtually unlimited). debits can be created to infinity. Remember one thing… The people have not now, or have they ever controlled the money supply in whatever form it was. This has been true throughout human history.
I don't know exactly what is going on with all the mega-billion dollar bailouts around the world. But the numbers are now so immense that they seem to be ridiculously meaningless. The money masters are doing their money alchemy (transferring wealth) using smoke and mirrors, that's all. The dollar may be destroyed, but will be replaced by bank debits and a cashless society (I think that is probably what is going on now). However, if all the money disappears and people start starving, I'm afraid that the lives of the average politician, banker, corporate executive or stock broker will not be worth one worthless FRN. It will become open season on these scumbags.
