Moyers' & Friends: Crony 'c'apitalism, Capitalism that isn't!

One of the extremely main positives of Moyers coming back, doing what he has always done, is nobody, or extremely few and mostly on the internet, are talking about how we as a country got to where we are today and the recent previous years, starting back some thirty, and why we're not moving forward as we should be faster, we means the 99%.

January 20, 2012 - Bill Moyers and former White House budget director David Stockman on how politics and high finance have turned our economy into a members-only private club.

Moyers and Stockman explain it very well and easy to understand, it ain't rocket science as they say. For the top tier, changing Capitalism into 'c'apitalism for their benefit, the collapsing economy was just a speed bump in the road especially for corporate profits and wall street roulette investments, for most of them. What's really telling is we're in the Presidential campaign mode, tepubs have come to the tube in their own reality show with what they call debates and corporate persons are spending multi-millions on ads and more and not, as these tepub candidates call them 'job creators', on job creation while getting their monies worth as congress, especially the house, haven't brought up any jobs bills to reverse the damage already done by those extremely wealthy 'job creators'. And these so called candidates, a couple especially the mittens greatly benefiting from building easy wealth from the seed money that existed for him and his cronies and the newt gets from his connections and grifting same for santorum, paul is doing what he's always done running under the (R) banner, recruiting into the extreme end of libertarian ideology, are not being asked the why the reagan economics failed, especially as they invoke saint ronny into the speak, as many forecast it would and in just the way it did.

You won't see guests like this on the fox, but 'if' ever there it'll be talk over and multiple interruption time by the unprincipled, who apparently think of themselves as quality journalist, that are programmed in the talking points of the what they call political? party propaganda machine, of the extreme right, who's so called reporting is taken as gospel by their riveted flock paying attention to only them and the offshoot parrots of and no one else nor the reality easily found.
