JWB: Avoid future financial crashes by completely deregulating the entire financial sector.
It takes a bizarre misreading of history to make such a ridiculous claim. Crashes and Panics were and are an endemic part of capitalism.
Originally posted by generalissimoThat's right my friends. The US government has run up a $13 trillion plus debt, the largest in human history, and is now buying that debt to fuel itself. My bad.
Once again whodey appeals to bumper sticker solutions to the perceived problems.
There is nothing wrong with the current program of stimulus packages, on the contrary, despite the unprecedented debt the US finds itself in this policy has successfully prevented a depression such as the one seen in the 1930s. If anything it is common sense that this policy is continued.
Originally posted by whodeyI just happen to think the stimulus program should be put into context before being pigeonholed as nonsensical and/or unrealistic.

It would help if the government was not taking our tax dollars to give to corporate America. Do you think corporate America does all the hirng? 2/3 of the work force is hired by small business every year. Corporate America and Big Brother are one in the same.

Originally posted by no1marauderTrue. They are a group of unelected officials who run the country. Of course, ignore the 800 pound goriella in the room which is a government who created them and empowered them. Nothing to see here!!
The Fed isn't the US government, whodey.
Originally posted by whodeyWould that be the same corporate America that funds the Tea Party and campaigns for "small government" as though that offered any benefits except to the wealthy who own corporate America?

All I can say is, we shall see if they can change the way business is done in Washington. At least those on the right appear to be doing something about it. Those on the left just pick their nose and scream that they are all a bunch of extremist crazies who want to balance budgets. Hell, it would be nice just to have Congress actually come out with a budget.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraDid you happen to assess the carnage last election? Even Obama was forced into an strage moment of forced humility. It was one of the most historic elections in American history. When was the last time Repulibcans picked up those many seats in an election?

Having said that, it's just one election. To get anything done they will have to claim the Senate and Oval Office. Until that time they will simply have to "behave" and do and say all the right things to posture for 2012.
Originally posted by whodeyBy what standards are Obama and the majority of Democrat senators and House members "on the left"? How do you assess that? For example, Obama's policies so far have not even come close to reducing income equality to levels under Nixon or increasing taxation of the rich to levels under Nixon, nor has he shown any signs of attempting such a thing. Then what was Nixon according to you, some kind of extremist member of the left wing of the Marxist Alliance of socialist communist statists?

Originally posted by KazetNagorraYou assume that it is the lefts agenda to improve the standard of living and "enrich" the citizens. What leftist country has done this? In fact, looking at Cuba, for example, it would appear that they prefer slaves.
