Its fascinating watching people pick pieces here and there and change their stories.<br />While Baum completely misunderstands monetary policy she is one hell of a journalist. Did you read her <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-29/my-breasts-go-unchecked-by-airport-screeners-commentary-by-caroline-baum.html" rel="nofollow">TSA Boob</a> article? Or her <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-14/oil-and-gas-boom-interrupts-greening-of-america-caroline-baum.html" rel="nofollow">fracking</a> article. She pokes fun and mocks liberals in the same way Jon Stewart does to all the Republicans.

I'm sure she sees herself as being way to self important to have lunch with me, nor do I think that she would even entertain the idea that I could teach her anything. (After all, she does have a degree in cinema!) Maybe SHE even censored my comment. Who knows? (It's still not up.)<br /><br />As far as being on the left, she is on the left like other Progressives and liberals in that they mainly want to defend social issues. However, when it comes to economics and/or tying economics to social issues, she fails like all other Progressives in that they have totally bought into the fake, "out of money" dogma that Conservatives have used to justify tearing down Social Security and other social programs. Liberals will argue for it on moral grounds, but then they'll just cave in and justify the dismantling of these programs based on the fake "we have no money" argument unless we tax teh rich. In that sense she's right when she says, Democrats are "bankrupt" when it comes to ideas. <br /><br />As far as the tits comment, she's obviously a die-hard feminist who hates Palin and the comment was meant to demean.mike normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296006882513340747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-72775526258110685942012-03-29T12:31:00.920-04:002012-03-29T12:31:00.920-04:00Mike,

There seemed to be interest, but it was lukewarm at best. Today I called one of the producers and proposed coming in as a guest to debunk the notion that a debt rollover is sufficient to trigger a crisis. He said he'd "give it some thought." I don't expect to hear back.
