"Keynesianism is destroying the 99%. " That is a totally wrong statement, unsupported by any evidence at all. It's just something debt scolds like to mumble when all else fails. Lack of Keynesianism isn't being too helpful, tho. "If I was in Congress, I would be resisting Obama's economic policies as well" So would I; 34 years of Raygunomics is enuf. It's time to quit trying to make R's happy and go New Deal. "Why do you think Senator Warren is so vocal...and she's a Democrat? " She is a New Deal Democrat and Obama is a Raygun Republican. I wouldn't say QE is good for us; just that no QE would have been bad. That's what happens when the Fed has to do all the lifting in the absence of a functional congress. Absent a few jobs programs, we're stuck with them doing the only thing they can.

If I was in Congress, I would be resisting Obama's economic policies as well. Keynesianism is destroying the 99% So Congress has blocked every jobs bill, has blocked unemployment benefits, has blocked Food Assistance programs for the poor, and they have given Billions in tax breaks to corporations, they refuse to raise the minimum wage, refuse to raise taxes on the wealthy, and you say it is Obama that is against the 99% and now they don't even want to fund the Highway Trust Fund which could cost 700,000 jobs you are about as full of shit as they come and of course you are a big Ayn Rand fan... the queen of selfishness and greed
