I commented at the height of the Economic Crisis in our Fundamentally Sound economy that expecting the Bush Admin's appointees to "fix" anything was a fool's errand, regardless of how much money was thrown at the problems. The appoint people based completely on politics, not ability.

There is no credit to make the chicken houses produce and the cost of propane to keep the chicke warm for the first few weeks is so high that there is no profit. I wonder if that is the case with other farmers. An historical note: Agriculture crashed about awhile before October 1929.
Posted by Nobody at October 27, 2008 10:33 AMYou lefties who think you understand economics don't know what's about to hit you. Nobel-Shnobel prize for Krugman!
Breaking news: McCain has appointed JOE THE PLUMBER to be his top economic advisor. They have so much in common. Neither one has hair or a clue how much he's worth (McCain can't remember how many houses he has, $40K-a-year Joe claims to be on the verge of buying a $250K+ business,) both hate taxes so much that Joe won't even pay his, preferring to let his less noble neighbors pay for his share of roads and schools, and both have their heads stuck down a toilet. How could Obama the Socialist compete? By comparison, his advisors merely include Volcker the Marxist and Warren the Commie
BTW, I also KNOW Obama is a Muslim who believes everything Jeremiah Wright says, and he might even be an Arab! It SAID SO on WorldNutDaily. Face it, guys, it's over!
fg's a fake.
