Now On CNN's Lou Dobbs: "Running on Empty"

[evworldeditor]

Peter Peterson former Nixon Treasury Secretary. He blames both Dems and Reps for economic mess.

Reps "theology" ... "faith-based" tax cuts with no spending cuts.

Dems "theology"... Haven't met a entitlement they don't like.

.... both shifting economic burden to our children.


"There has to be a lot of truth telling".... It'll take a bold president.

[Langis]

1. Sorry but Repugs control all 3 branches of Government

It is not the Dems falt.

3. He quotes Dick Armey ....

"I can't lay this on the democrats... we're in charge"

And economist. And he doesn't know the key finding of the Frankfurt School in economics?

Oh wait, he was a Nixonite. Never mind, there's no way they'd tell him.

10. All branches:

Media, state houses, governorships, federal appellate courts, supreme court, Senate, House, WH.
