Irish Labor Party Rep Excoriates Minister for ‘Destroying Economy’Posted on Nov 19, 2010
The Irish economy is in quite a state, and according to Labor TD (that’s MP in Irish parlance) Pat Rabbitte, some specific people are to blame for Ireland’s plight. One of them just happened to be right next to him on Thursday’s edition of “RTÉ News Prime Time,” and one Pat Carey, who’s also a TD as well as minister for equality and Gaeltacht affairs, thus got the full blast of Rabbitte’s outrage on national television. “You ought to be ashamed to show your face in this studio,” Rabbitte begins, and it only gets worse for Carey from that point on. Someone on this side of the pond ought to take a page from Rabbitte’s playbook, and soon. —KA RTÉ News Prime Time via YouTube:

The problem with Americans following this admirable lesson in public shaming is that both our pathetic political parties were responsible for the credit crisis and the Wall Street bailout. Outraged Americans have no one to turn to for redress. Obama was supposed to be our great agent for change and his first act as president was to reappoint the old Clinton deregulation team of Summers and Geithner.

But what has Labor done for the Irish people during this crisis? It’s like the Democrats in the US, they slam and slam Republicans but are cut from the same, corporate cloth. People have a choice: Rebel or be a slave.

Wall Street and The City of London are involvent.
They can only survive and flourish if they continue to press governments into converting their private debt into our public debt.
The Irish State is solvent. The Irish banking system, which is part of a larger, oligarchical banking system, is not.
“The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War.”
