We kind of lost this one today;

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Even though he was almost a member of the new Obama administration, New Hampshire Republican Judd Gregg Sunday slammed President Obama’s approach to handling the country’s fiscal outlook.

“The practical implications of this is bankruptcy for the United States,” Gregg said of the Obama’s administration’s recently released budget blueprint. “There’s no other way around it. If we maintain the proposals that are in this budget over the ten-year period that this budget covers, this country will go bankrupt. People will not buy our debt, our dollar will become devalued. It is a very severe situation.”

Gregg, known as one of the keenest fiscal minds on Capitol Hill, also told CNN Chief National Correspondent John King that he thought it was “almost unconscionable” for the White House to continue with its planned course on fiscal matters with unprecedented actual and projected budget deficits in the coming years.

“It is as if you were flying an airplane and the gas light came on and it said ‘you 15 minutes of gas left’ and the pilot said ‘we’re not going to worry about that, we’re going to fly for another two hours.’ Well, the plane crashes and our country will crash and we’ll pass on to our kids a country that’s not affordable.”

OK, Reader, I posted the entire article, it came from CNN, and it was on the views of a man Obama wanted to work for him. I can't think of any of your other excuses to condemn the article before it is read.

A penny for your thoughts, my dear?

the right direction is to abolish the FED. only then, can we have a true fre market system.
the FED is the corruption that is at the heart of the evil forces breaking this nation. end the FED, get Obama out of office, and let him spend his days taking kickbacks from Chicago mob bosses, and taking his Sasquach out for walks in the woods.

Not all of Gregg's commentary was critical of Obama's administration. CNN noted that he praised Obama’s top economic chiefs' efforts to nurse the sick banking system back to health.

“They’re doing the right things,” Gregg referred to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House economic adviser Larry Summers. “They haven’t done it as definitely as they should have . . . but they are moving in the right direction and the Fed is moving in the right direction,” Gregg said on CNN’s State of the Union.

So what do you think about these statements; "The practical implications of this is bankruptcy for the United States", "this country will go bankrupt", "unconscionable"?

Judd showed he was a confused fellow when he first agreed to take a Cabinet position and a couple of days later re-neged.

It's ironic that one minute he agrees to be in the Cabinet and then does an about turn to try to capitalize on the frenzy and gloom for his own political goals. Like running for President perhaps???

What is really ironic is fact that Obama picked the man to be in his Cabinet and then removed the biggest part of the department he was to control and handed it over to his White House Chief of Staff. Way to show the token Republican he will be a trusted member of the Obama Administration with a voice that really matters. re-neged he wasn't going to be a true part of the Obama Cabinet and pulling the Census out of his control proved it to him. :roll:

Many economic experts and political experts are saying just the opposite- our doing nothing is an economic blueprint to bankruptcy....Even Gregg...

“They’re doing the right things,” Gregg referred to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House economic adviser Larry Summers. “They haven’t done it as definitely as they should have . . . but they are moving in the right direction and the Fed is moving in the right direction,” Gregg said on CNN’s State of the Union.

Just as everyone agrees something has to be done with the energy policy to get us off the dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil that helped put us in this economic hole -even the consensus coming out of the health care forum the other day was that if we do nothing- it could bankrupt the country over the next 50 years....The reason all agreed- Repub and Dem- that doing nothing is not an option...

I don't agree with all Obama's plans- nor do I agree with all Dem plans- but the Republicans have to come up with some alternatives- and actually stick out some workable plans rather than just being obstructionist and fearmongering and divisive....We did nothing for 8 years except help Halliburton pocket $Billions while burying Trillions in a sand pit...And all the Repub Congress did was backslap... They need to start working for the country- and just not their campaign donations/donors....

Wheres Greggs plan for all the out of work folks :???: ...What is it- soup kitchens :???: What is their plan to stop the domino effect of the banks/financial institutions all going if the top ones went :???: How solvent will/would our currency be if the banks had been run on in Sept- and the government hadn't stood behind the peoples money :???:
They- and you- haven't came up with any alternative answers....

By "partisan politicis" do you mean "we won we right the bill" or "I trump you I WON."
Do you think Pelosi is going to listen to the Republican plan if it takes out her Mouse Habitat project and Condom Money Oldtimer? I don't cause she is the ones that locked the Republicans out of the committee rooms remember. :roll:

"Bush Bust" Can't help youself can you Oldtimer :roll: Clinton started the mess in the 90's and the likes of Frank and Dodd helped it along while Bush was in office as did Obama with his Citibank Lawsuit. Clinton is even willing to admit it so why can't YOU. :wink:

I'm still waiting to see the Repub plan for all these issues-- all issues they didn't do anything with when they were in charge- and the reason folks said they were tired of the donothing status quo and wanted change....

The repubs had a plan that cost 1/2 as much, the Dems refused to even notice it. Which is obvious, in your statement, you don't know anything about it. Once again, you chose not to listen.

Perhaps he bailed out when he was handed the "agenda" for Zero.

Seems quite a few have bailed out, when they were informed what "change" would mean.

Barack Obama hasn’t nominated 17 of 18 positions at Treasury needing Senate confirmation after more than two months on the job. The Financial Stability Oversight Board (FINSOB) has yet to meet during his administration despite a legal requirement to do so on at least a monthly basis. Politico now reports that President Obama’s vaunted Presidential Economic Recovery Advisory Board has yet to meet since its inception in early February:

That's exactly what happened. He saw the game plan and thought, "I don't want to be a part of this".
