He is not stupid and your comparison to Venezuela is right on the money. Many of his minions openly praise Chavez, Mao, and the like.
Mr. Blumer is also correct in pointing out that the leftist policies regarding the housing and banking industries are responsible for the ailing economy. The evidence for that is plain, the reasoning behind this analysis is simple and the leftists understand it all very well. The reason they keep espousing the same failed policies is because it gives them opportunities to steal. They are thieves and liars plain and simple.
I once knew a former nazi-resistance fighter who, if you brought up socialism in conversation, would instantly become seething mad. His bald head and face would turn beet red and he would literally foam at the mouth. He would start pounding his fist and through clenched teeth would say “You cannot talk to dem! Dere is only one vay to deal vith dem!”
I certainly hope he was wrong. Looking at the large number of people on various blogs who regurgitate the moronic leftist talking points makes me very afraid.
