http://www.rationalpublicradio.com/podcast-june-8-2011-presidential-hair-greenspan-earn-less-israel.htmlThere's more talk about the Republican presidential field. It's getting weirder and uglier, but it isn't getting any more appealing. Is a vaguely free market candidate who doesn't want to enforce Christian edict with the power of law too much to ask for? Apparently it is.
We talk about Alan Greenspan's hypocrisy, and general idiocy. He is desperately trying to dodge the blame for the problems he caused, but we make sure to call him out on it. Not that Bernanke is any better, but he is truly Greenspan's intellectual protege.
Next we move to Obamacare. The Solicitor General is claiming in court that the healthcare mandate isn't really a mandate. All you have to do to avoid it is earn less. It's a "let them eat cake" level of detachment from reality in today's economic climate.
Finally, we get back to some international news. The Syrians are sacrificing their own people in order to paint Israel as the bad guy and regain the Golan heights. Of course, the only use they have for the Golan heights is to attack Israel. Doubtless, the world will blame Israel for the killings anyway.
