If only economists made public policy. I would rather have peopel who understand Economics working on a solution to this financial turmoil than a bunch of lawyers whose time horizon goes beyond the next election day. Actually if economists were running things we would not even be in this mess in the first place because they would not have imposed demands on lenders to lend to people who cannot pay their mortagages.

I hope Sen. Menendez is listening:Not listening to economists has gotten us a half-trillion-dollar budget deficit, entitlement programs we cannot hope to pay for, federal grant programs that have turned into open-ended pork barrels, costly regulations, and a borrow-and-spend mentality that can look no further than the next election cycle.Still wish to defend your position, Senator? Are you feeling my pain, now?

Senator Menendez - the employment picture in NJ does not exist. You appear to be supporting the WTO, NAFTA and keep talking about long term change. WELL - the citizens cannot buy into it and have suffered with depletion of Constitutional rights and Liberty. I vote for the person that can kick the WTO, NAFTA, UN, EU out of the United States of America. So far Congress has minus zero points in supporting we the people.

That's not what he was incinuating. He was saying that economists should be used to look at economic abstracts. Whole other sets of skills are required to make pulic policy, using economic abstracts is a vital tool in that set but the creation whole should be done by somebody with a broader set of tools than economists.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius is a STRONG WOMAN, the "right woman" for the white house as VicePresident. She is strong by being HERSELF ( no lies or barking like hillary ).

God give it up jbvoter, you freakin retard. This isn't 15th century England, it's the 21st Century and scientists opinions (economic scientists included), are valued. Stop spamming your ignorant bullshit in all these videos.

Don't get me wrong. I agree completely, but McCain had his chance and that was then.
