re: #56 The Vicious Babushka

Was at the Met game, and while they lost 6-0, it was more entertaining. There was some good defense, some good pitching (by the Marlins), and was in good company.

Tweeted through much of the debate though.

That you’ve got 2 failed business leaders leading this pack of clowns shows how debased things are. Trump bankrupted his companies 4 times - he’s so great at negotiating that he couldn’t manage to avoid bankruptcy after the first time??

Carly’s record is perhaps even worse. Accounting gimmicks helped ruin Lucent after she left, and then decided to double down with HP. Oversaw an ill conceived merger with Compaq that left the combined company in a worse position, and then sought out an aquisition of a company for billions more than anyone thought it was worth - but the Board thankfully knocked that one back.

The kicker? IBM picked up the company for pennies on the dollar of the valuation that Carly considered. Yeah, that’s some awesome business acumen.

So, it’s no wonder that she’s a media darling for the right at the present, talking all manner of nonsense about taxes and how to grow the economy. It’s all trickle down all the time. That’s not an economic policy. It’s a rerun of the same failed policies that the GOP has trotted out for over a generation now with the same results - higher deficits and not as much economic growth (mostly because the benefits accrue in those most able to afford tax hikes, while the tax burdens get shifted to those least able to afford them).
