If fifteen million wealthy amaricans got around to spend a little bit of their money, they could easily beat Barack Obama's stimulus package. if they spent 150k on ANYTHING, for example cars or extending houses, that would be a 2.25 trillion stimulus package. With all the breaks you have had over the years rich guys, take your responsibility now and spend some cash...

Arianna Huffington,
You did a terrific job this morning. When Frank said that you had an agenda,
he was right. Your agenda was to get an honest answer. You did a great job.

This was refreshing after the onslaught of embarrassing commentators in the corporate media. I wish such a brilliant analysis wasn't so rare. Thank you Arianna. Rev. Bookburn - Radio Volta

The economic recognition given to Krugman, righteously belongs to Arianna. Good show lady. And actually a kudo to CNBC for offering viewers something better than the phony drivel of Kramer and other pundits.

In conversations like this, it's very easy to drift off when things get monotonous, but Arianna was terrfic with the details and with her courteous difference of opinions. So often people come off as loud, overbearing and very much arrogant when they believe what they have to say is right. Arianna struck the perfect tone with everyone, and I particularly liked her way of talking with Barney Frank. I happen to like to BF and believe he's very much on the ball. He and Arianna both came off quite well in that segment of the show.

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears this AM! Is CNBC actually trying balanced, intelligent discussion for a change? The recent comparisons to Fox must have finally hit home. I generally tune in to hear what the market shills are up to each day; but this was a very pleasant surprise. Well done!

Congratulations Arianna, great job!
Thank you for being a patriot and saying it like it is.
I wish President Obama would understand and act accordingly!
THEPILGRIM: Congratulations Arianna, great job! Thank you for being a patriot
I had some quibbles with Arianna as she spoke but I don't remember any of them now. My quibbles weren't important, serious or substantive. To echo Arianna, why doesn't Obama trreat Wall St as he treats Detroit?
Like many of the mavens of finance, I find that I can't learn to think that there isn't a financial structure anymore. I hope that I can learn to function without the old structures since they have been completely destroyed & I hope that somebody like Ms Huffington explains how the new economic structures will work if & when they are built. I've gotten to the point that I no longer trust the old CW or those who continue to purvey the old CW. I'm waiting for new, practical, financial structures to be built but I'll reserve judgment on their practicality till they operate for 2 years or more. I'm more unsure about what the new economy will mean to me & I can be only cautiously excited about what may come next. I may be infected with a nostalgia for the old but the old structures will never be restored.
It looks like I'll be drinking hot, black, coffee by the gallon for now, no sugar.

I doubt that all of the aspects of the older financial structure will be replaced, and nor should we want so. If anything in with the supposed good & out with the known bad!

She's brilliant and I like her perspective on Geithner and Summers.
Obama REALLY needs to bring in some rivals such as Krugman, Stieglitz and Galbraith.
Thank you for being a patriot and saying it like it is.
I wish President Obama would understand and act accordingly!
