If they admit that, then we must be well on the way to Communism. I guess Kruschev was right after all. I'll look forward to Rush and Levin commentaries. This is doomsday.

As usual TB2K is a decade ahead of the mainstream media.
I wonder if this Depression we're sliding into will derail the Communista plans of TPTB.
I think it may very well get out of control.

True Fred but lets not forget to mention that it was under a Democratic majority in Congress as well.

Anybody notice that all these socialist countries ARE FALLING APART AND COLLAPSING?
Might that be a clue that socialism isn't the perfect working answer?
Hello, any intelligence left on planet earth? Paging a brain cell, come in please, please ...

True - but what's also true is that Bush didn't have to sign the bill.
"This week President Obama claimed that failure to pass his economic stimulus bill will have catastrophic consequences for the U.S economy. The reality is the catastrophe will be far greater with his plan than without it. If the trends of January and early February of 2009 continue, the rug will be completely pulled out from beneath the U.S. economy, and the full cost of the President's "economic depressant package" will be apparent to all.
If foreign capital does not continue to pour into Treasuries, interest rates and consumer prices in the U.S. will soar. At that point, we will finally be confronted with the real crises that I have long predicted. When the day of reckoning arrives our policy response will be critical. If we continue on the course our new President has mapped out, the catastrophe will far exceed the scope of any he hoped to avoid."

[regarding same bill Bush signed - speech by Obama in Oct 08}
Congress should pass this emergency rescue plan as soon as possible.
[remember - this is the TARP bill in Oct 08]
If Washington can move quickly to pass a rescue plan for our financial system, there's no reason we can't move just as quickly to pass a rescue plan for our middle-class that will create jobs, provide relief, and help homeowners. And if Congress does not act in the coming months, it will be one of the first things I do as President of the United States. Because we can't wait any longer to start creating new jobs; to help struggling communities and homeowners, and to provide real and immediate relief to families who are worried not only about this month's bills, but their entire life savings. This plan will help ease those anxieties, and along with the other economic policies I've proposed, it will begin to create new jobs, grow family incomes, and put us back on the path to prosperity.
I won't pretend this will be easy or come without cost. We'll have to set priorities as never before, and stick to them. That means pursuing investments in areas such as energy, education and health care that bear directly on our economic future, while deferring other things we can afford to do without. It means scouring the federal budget, line-by-line, ending programs that we don't need and making the ones we do work more efficiently and cost less.
[really.........defer things we can afford to do without?...scouring federal budget line by line?.......ENDING programs that we don't need?]
It also means promoting a new ethic of responsibility. Part of the reason this crisis occurred is that everyone was living beyond their means - from Wall Street to Washington to even some on Main Street. CEOs got greedy. Politicians spent money they didn't have. Lenders tricked people into buying home they couldn't afford and some folks knew they couldn't afford them and bought them anyway.
[politicians spending money they didn't have - great speech O - too bad you were lying]
We've lived through an era of easy money, in which we were allowed and even encouraged to spend without limits; to borrow instead of save.

Countries that define themselves as "capitalist" ain't doing so hot either.
The NWO economy is almost in place - they just have to form a more public "Global Board of Directors".

I like how the Newsweek cover conveys a sense of triumph. It also conveys a sense of warning: "we are all socialists now, so everyone needs to get on board - no dissidents allowed".
Yes, a "fair" and "just", socialist, big government, utopian, police state is just around the corner! Let us all rejoice!

Newsweek has been authored by a bunch of socialist asswipes for decades.
They are now celebrating the death knell of our country.

Hell of a thing to wake up to this morning. The Newsweek cover. the crisis in Mexico, A floundering policy in Astan with the Ruskies flexing their muscles and of course the Spendulus bill.
Our founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
America has got to wake up before it's too late. And oh yea I forgot to mention the California Crisis which is speading like the Australian wildfires.
Let me try to digest all this and I will surely post a Rant before this day is over.

The little green nazi's we have in DC should all be hunted down and impeached, ASAP!
Tea party anybody?
I've had a brain-straining kind of morning, so I may be forgetting something here, but wasn't Congress controlled by the Republicans when the prescription drug bill passed?
Indeed.

My opinion on it all is that the whole thing started well before Bush. He just took it to new levels.

McCarthy was right...we could really use him now. He must be turning in his grave.
The beginning of the end was when Clinton opened free trade with Communist countries. If nearly all manufacturing had not been outsourced to China we would be in better shape now and still have those sectors supporting our country. What can we do without manufacturing and farming in our own country? Wither and die I'm afraid. Bush could have done something about it but he didn't and now we have a card carrying commie in the WH. And so many people think WE won the cold war...HA!

It was no such thing but I guess we really are that easy.
WTF!!!!!!!
We all know how this story will unfold
Lenin wrote the playbook..
control of the mass media
intimidation of opponents.
then the "red Terror'
then the camps...
one party system
a dictator will arise (could be O-man, but I think he's too stupid and naive to be the one that would match Stalin, but ya never know)
THEN, the revolution will eat it's children
Expect purge trials within a decade
I cannot believe it...

Newsweek to Overhaul Appearance, Focus Less on News
The future is now! After years of speculation and talk about 'The Future of Magazines' it would seem we are living it, and it's not pleasant. Six months ago word that Newsweek was essentially going to give up chasing the news would have been shocking, now it merely seems par for the course. Says editor Jon Meacham: "The drill of chasing the week's news to add a couple of hard-fought new details is not sustainable." And that is just one of a number of changes the weekly has announced it will be making. Per the Times:
Starting in May, articles will be reorganized under four broad, new sections — one each for short takes, columnists, and commentary, long reporting pieces like the cover articles, and culture — each with less compulsion to touch on the week's biggest events. A new graphic feature on the last page, "The Bluffer's Guide," will tell readers how to sound as if they are knowledgeable on a current topic, whether they are or not.
The new Newsweek will also be printed on thicker stock, and place more of an emphasis on photography, aiming itself to a smaller, richer audience. The result being? No way to tell yet but right now it sounds a lot like some strange print version of Life magazine meets the blogosphere.
As the article points out, Newsweek's main competitor Time is still making a profit — in fact we recently spoke to someone in the circulation world who speculated Time was outselling Newsweek six to one. One wonders if Newsweek would be struggling so much remain relevant if they had bothered to invest more time in developing a distinct online voice (as opposed to merely sharing content with MSNBC) similar to what one finds at Time or The Atlantic. It does, after all, seem a strange time to be investing more rather than less in the future of print.

"..but it was, again, under a conservative GOP administration that we enacted the largest expansion of the welfare state in 30 years: prescription drugs for the elderly."
And just what is children's health insurance? Think that won't make the elderly drug plan look like small potatoes?
