So, Obama thinks Wall Street is 50% of the economy?
I'd like to see where he gets this info.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090503/...bama_economy_2 He wants the private sector to not play as big of a role as it has in the past. No, he's not a socialist.

But assuming you're serious, il Pad, this means he is reining in the Oligarchs. Finance cannot drive prosperity. Sectors like Silicon Valley that really increase our standard of living by making things more efficient can. <Thunderous applause from Chino>

Yeah. That's really a decision we want politicians making.

I'm not sure what you're talking about Chino. I quoted Obama as saying that Wall Street is 50% of the economy and then pointed out that he wants the private sector to play a smaller role.

He only said Wall Street will play a smaller role, and Silicon Valley a bigger role. If he's saying he wants the private sector to play a smaller role, that means Wall St = private sector.

Why did you say that I think Wall Street is 100% of the private sector?

Il Pad: Obama says he wants to reduce significance of private sector. Transitivity: Wall Street = private sector.

Hats off to you for driving prosperity in this country. But that's a straw man because politicians (and I despise them too) aren't gonna make that decision. They're gonna erect regulations that will make Wall Street careers less lucrative.
