Anyone else See Mark Cuban on Bill Maher? For the most part he was a pussy cause there was 4 die hard liberals on the show and only him to defend the other side.
One saliant point he made however, was that Clinton balanced the budget/created jobs based on the internet bubble, and not because of any of his own policies, I find this particularly interesting, because Cuban was basically admitting that the Internet bubble was a 1 time bubble which created all kinds of undeserved wealth. I would have loved it if he came out and said the company he sold for 2 billion was dog shit, and that he happened to be there during the tech bubble, though i think he held back due to potential liability reasons.
Another thing i found funny was when Maher and all the other liberals were frothing over the bush tax cuts causing this entire melt down, Cuban said that the main reason we are struggling as an economy is because there is no new innovation, he then went on to say that things like the tech bubble in the 90s or the railroad industry in the early part of the last century are once in a life time innovation, and that we have nothing like that anymore.
The liberal woman who was sitting beside him went on to say that we have lots of new technology, and Cuban said "like what?" And she said well there is facebook, and twitter, and all sorts of things. Cuban rolled his eyes and was promptly cut off by all the other liberals on the panel. This woman was implying that facebook and twitter were going to be the new tehnology that was similar to the tech bubble, to lead us into the future.
I thought it was going to be a good show at first, as Cuban spoke up at first, but then he wussed out for the rest of the show and just let the 4 frothing liberal journalists talk about economics. It kind of made me mad cause you could see him shaking his head in disagreement, but every time he tried to talk one of the 4 liberal JOURNALISTS would tell him as a billionaire businessman how the economy works, and he was never allowed to speak. I wish he was on the same show as Ann Coulter, as i think he would have provided alot of good comentary if it wasnt 4 on 1.
I was so disappointed, because i would have thought an outspoken businessman like mark cuban would have had some balls, and went to town on these people, but he wussed out once it was 4 on 1 with a liberal crowd, even thoough they said all kinds of stupid things.
