no, it isn't

MA is right

free markets require interest rates that rise and fall naturally

Because they can't very well compare him to Stalin. That would make people look up how bad he was.

I assume a nigh on 60 y/o had a father.

i thought they were pushing no means no

Fuck the FED

in fact, obama was FAR more like hitler in his rhetoric

Yeah.
