DUmmy nadinbrzezinski (name reminds one of Joe Btfslpk from Dogpatch) explains to the DUmp how a Marxist approach to the US economy would be so much better. One must wonder how she forgot to mention the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the fabulous success of agricultural collectives.

Ok we all know the economy is in the shitter
so what can we do?
Here is the list of measures I think the next administration has to follow through
reestablish the WPA... and reinvest in infrastructure
Get OUT of NAFTA, CAFTA, et al...
Re-industrialize the country...
Progressive tax rate, a la 1950s
Create a mixed economy
Break down monopolies, and give power back to small businesses (It worked for 270+ years)
Re-regulate Wall Street
Take over health care as a national federal service... no more health care for profit
Bring back tariffs, to encourage keeping jobs in the US
Companies that refuse to pay taxes, or move factories overseas, or do other shennanigans, will NOT get any guv'ment contracts
Essential services, such as power and energy should be federalized (part of that mixed economy)
The right for labor to organize has to be guaranteed at the federal level, all this right to work shit has to stop
Small, micro loans, have to be offered to busineses to get going
I could go on... but I fear if they decide to go chicago school things will only get worst.
Ooooo...going "chicago school". She is sooo savvy!!
Oh and yes, some in the crazy right call this communism... I have a word for them, so how is their 401K doing these days
My 401K is doing infinitely better than DUmmy nadinbrzezinski's Stalinism.
One of franksolich's favorite DUmmies slaps her down:

17. oh poor nadine
she's not the potentate of DU and can't make people who don't agree with her, disappear.
She cannot resist a plug for her bouncy story from earlier today:

20. The DLC is in just as much denial of this
as the republican kid I confronted today at the coffee shop
Perhaps the DLC wants to vote for McHoover... after all they will continue this free trade bullshit

48. Well done!
Another good post on the economy. I think your ideas are very sound and would go a long way toward straightening things out.
I also enjoyed your post about the new hire you talked to in the coffee shop and have appreciated your posts in the Stock Watch Thread during these crazy times.
Disregard nasty little ankle biters. They are frustrated from sounding out the big words in your posts. Besides, DU would be boring without the shitflinging monkeys who know nothing else.
Keep those insights coming my dear. I ALWAYS read and enjoy them!

DUmmy nadinbrzezinski is sooo wise and sophisticated, in a soviet sort of way, she has her own fans and suck ups, like DUmmy WilliamPitt used to have. Her suck ups are every bit as stupid as his were.

Uh, I wonder if the Zbigniew primitive has any idea it's not a good idea to mess with the Obamaite cali primitive.
The Obamaite cali primitive dines on other primitives like the Zbigniew primitive for breakfast appetizers.
By the way, am I the only one who suspects that the Zbigniew primitive is actually a man-wife, or other-significant other, team, both of them posting under the Zbigniew screen-name?
For the record, the Zbigniew primitive(s) is (are) refugee(s) from the Soviet Union circa 25 years ago.
I have no idea why they bothered coming here, though.

Just like Muslims(Islam), ain't they. They leave the shit caused by the system (communism) behind but then like a virus, they bring it with them and try to infect the new, better, place with it.

Back to 1738?
Last I checked we were subjects to the British crown then.
Bring back tariffs, to encourage keeping jobs in the US
Just do this long enough so that the precious computers they all sit at and type out their nonsense rise in price to several thousand dollars and they can no longer afford them.
The right for labor to organize has to be guaranteed at the federal level, all this right to work shit has to stop
You really should know what you talk about when you write things DUmmy.
It is called "work at will" and if a great progressive state such as NY has it as labor policy it is for a reason.
These people are ignorant beyond description somehow thinking that you can turn our economic system into total socialism and there would be no ramifications other then their dreams of wealth without effort.
Every one of her little schemes would have one ultimate effect...an establishment of a wealthy ruling class and a populace that can`t afford the goods of the planned economy.
In their delusion they think they will land in the former but that group isn`t big enough for all of them.
They would be in far worse destitution then now but their blind greed and envy keeps them from seeing it.

Like what the primitives did to Vermont, moving there from places they'd previously ruined (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, whatnot).

That is what the city folk have done to upstate.
At the point few of the local born and raised here can afford to stay.

Sounds like the recipe to trigger a world-wide Depression that would dwarf the one in the 1930s.

Note that DUmmy nadinbrzezinski's day job is that of a professional dungeonmaster, or some such nonsense. It's apprently only in her spare time that she is an authority on international finance. If her book sales pick up a little, she could approach the literary prominence of DUmmy mythsaje, or DUmmy WilliamPitt. That is to say, if a couple of us would shell out thirty-two bucks.

The Obamassiah is the poster child for "chicago school" style politics, and you're telling me that going that way will only make things worse. OK, we agree on that point.
