Yea the choices were to bail us out of GW's mess through deficit spending or let the entire infrastructure collapse. I was for that deficit spending because it was BLATANTLY obvious the catastrophic harm that would occur without it.
yep, so Obama was handed a pile of garbage, and Cons wouldve spent just as much or more for bailouts. its not like thos was the first time shoddy investors were bailed.
Watch out...you're getting almost as jaded as I am!Fair enough. I'll go on record that I've come to the conclusion that deficits and debt don't matter. Neither side gives a shit about the deficit when they are in power so why should I. As a matter of fact, I hope that I can get even more of my money back. I've become a CEO...of me....and it's my duty to get as much of my money back as I can, and that includes keeping those bastard's hands off of MY entitlements that I've spent my working life paying into.
And it's just too fucking bad we weren't smarter about where we spent the money. /sYea the choices were to bail us out of GW's mess through deficit spending or let the entire infrastructure collapse.

It always boils down to rationalization...one has to shove a handful of their own liberal shit in front of their face before they reluctantly admit 'yeah we shit' but then immediately rationalize it away by saying 'but your shit stinks worse'. Both parties are hypocritical as hell and this kind of horseshit rationalization is lost on me.

Not a Trump fan deary. But reality was never your strong suit.Trump love does that to a person. I mean, he grabbed you by the pussy & you just swooned. Couldn't help yourself, really, because he's just sooo dreamy...

Better gear up - they're coming for Social Security in 2018.Fair enough. I'll go on record that I've come to the conclusion that deficits and debt don't matter.

Most of the corporate bailout money was paid back. But by saying 'we' I meant our government and how they wasted so much of the stimulus money.ME? I wasn't the fucking banker writing 50 year interest only loans under deregulation.... that would be the billionaire class that I helped bail out. The same class that I will be bailing out in another 4 years or so when the check for this shitshow comes due.
Your side is all about socializing losses and privatizing gains.
Depends on the final version of the bill. If cuts to corporate taxes go into effect in 2019, I would expect the party to last until mid 2019 through mid 2020. Possibly a little longer. It gets dicey after that. That's of course just my personal opinion.I guess I'm going to buy US index funds and hold for what, a year? How long exactly until this destroys your middle class?

Sorry, to clarify, isn't the idea to spend more when times are good across the nation, in order to take advantage of the momentum? Or are you supposed to restrict spending to nestegg/pay down debts during that timeframe? I thought curtailing spending stifled growth.

The corporate rate needed to the reduced...even Obama admitted that 35% was a problem. However, I do think 20% is too low.You're with him on this tax bill which is a giveaway to America's wealthiest. It's basically looting the Treasury.
I'm curious to see what happens to the billion dollar companies who were getting back money each year having a negative effective tax rate. Will that negative rate get bigger.The corporate rate need to the reduced...even Obama admitted that 35% was a problem. However, I do think 20% is too low.
So I guess if you could, you would turn back the ACA? Because all that did is line the pockets of big pharma and insurance companies.
It's all so simple for you...so sadly simple. But perhaps you are right...but I'll grant myself a mercy and hope you're wrong, very wrong.Well the blame largely lies with Clinton and Bush for allowing deregulation. Trump has gone the route of deregulation on steroids so the crash we have coming will probably make the Bush crash look mild. This time around, the deficit spending will have to be done in the face of massive debt and will threaten American currency and credit. I expect the American empire to fall conclusively at that point. I think we are past redeemable. We are an oligarchy and the only people with any effect on the political process have more than a billion dollars in their bank account. Oligarchies go the route of Russia and that is America's course.
