WiltonKnight: "Americans Losing Faith They Will Have Enough Money for Retirement
Workers' financial confidence for retirement takes steepest drop since 2008, survey finds"

Well, that's some spin by the Murdoch WSJ. In the first paragraph, the article states that two-thirds of Americans "reported feeling confident about their financial prospects during retirement."

So according to the WSJ, two-thirds equals "losing faith"?


WiltonKnight: A continual march away from the traditional nuclear family...

The 1950s called... they want you back. The traditional nuclear family hasn't really existed for more than half a century.


WiltonKnight: Births out of wedlock are to be CELEBRATED.

Your soution: ban abortions after six weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest.


WiltonKnight: Make sure kids can run fast. No Twinkies and French fries are school. Teach about dudes wearing dresses. Pot is no big deal. DON'T TEACH PERSONAL FINANCE, AND PERSONAL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBility.

Umm, huh? If you're suggesting it's bad for kids to eat healthier foods and exercise, you lost me. Dudes wearing dresses? I think I can honestly say I've never seen one except on television or in a movie (Rudy Giuliani, for example). Do I care if a man wants to wear women's clothing? Well, no. That doesn't harm me or anyone else. Like Kacey Musgraves sings: "I'll just do me and, honey, you can just do you."


WiltonKnight: Shout down people who say : "IT'S NOT THE BANK'S FAUL". Blame solely the banks and big business and the rich when people, of their own volition - signed up to buy stuff they had no plan on how to pay for.

Perhaps you missed it but that's exactly what the republican House is saying. They refuse to raise the debt limit which allows the government to pay for PAST SPENDING (even though they themselves spent the money and voted to raise the same debt limit three times under Trump, no strings attached).


WiltonKnight: DON'T QUESTION BIG ACADEMIA. DON'T.

The salaries. The sabatacles. The resort like campuses. The food courts. All of which are not only jacking up costs - but setting a 'baseline' standard lifestyle for future spenders.

Umm, all I can say to that is WTF?


WiltonKnight: NO BAILOUTS OR FORGIVENESS FOR TRADE SCHOOLING.

Actually, Biden tried hard to get two years of free trade school, budgeting $109 billion in his American Families Plan for two years of free community college "so that every student has the ability to obtain a degree or certificate."


WiltonKnight: Support NAFTA, GATT. AND PERMANANENT NORMALIZZED TRADE RELATIONS with China and others. The old way - was not as good for Club 401K and Wall Street and "the portfolios!". Whole cities - where young men graduated high school, worked at the factory, got some benefits, some retirement, a way that supports a nuclear family and even allowed for the station wagon trip to Myrtle Beach - that is sooooo obsolete and horrible. Tell him to get a Green Job. DO NOT question that he never got the green job - instead he got a baby mommy, a tattoo, some pot and beer and in some cases, a gun to do no good with.

Yeah, that gets another WTF. I'm starting to lean towards sano's diagnosis.


WiltonKnight:DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO QUESTION THE ABOVE...

Um, okay.
