Conservatives Worship the Market

[David_42]

It is their true God. It can do no wrong. It solves all problems. The ultra rich are the Market God's chosen ones, and the conservatives believe that if they worship the market and enslave themselves to it, they too will become chosen ones.

Market worship is a religion that has de facto supplanted Christianity, although they use Christianity to hate on gays and science. The Bible and Christianity at times provide useful justification for Conservatives in their development of a fascist state cloaked in Christian Theocracy, but ultimately bound to the One True God ... The Market. You see, in the Conservative Utopia which they strive for, the conservatives use Christianity to control the peoples' minds, and once the minds are under control the Christian God becomes one in the same as the Market God. And then the Market God will be unchained. 90% will become slaves who live in huts, and their Corporate Masters will raise armies to control their domains. You will be the slave of your corporate owner, working 7 days a week, and if you disobey the punishment will be death.

That is the America that the False Conservative Utopia promised by their Idol the Market God will actually become, not a thing like the utopia that was promised. You will be a slave, and your life expectancy will become 45 because you will be worked to the bone and Healthcare will become a "priviledge" not a right, and they aren't even hiding that they believe that.

Only Progressivism can save you from this fate. Repent and believe.

No. We worship God. Commercial markets are how we get goods and services. It does work when it is allowed to work. You need help…seriously.

Jeeze if conservatives are the ones worshiping the market then why in hell is it the lefty loons who keep telling everyone how great the market is doing under Barry??

Can't count the threads that have been on this board in reference to just that.

Looks like its the lefties who are in love with the market.

There's a difference between a regulated market and con bullshit.

 

[Claudette]

The market is the market and its all you lefty idiots who keep touting how great its doing under Barry. Of course we hear nary a word from you when the market tanks.

Speaking of bullshit?? LOL

Wahhhh wahh wahhhhhh Poor Poor Obama, the most helpless greatest President Ever!

You'll never be able to prove that any other person would have more successfully dealt with the Great Depression than FDR did, nor with the Great Recession than Obama did.

FDR sucked giant Alaskan moose cock. Here's how real men handled a Depression

The Forgotten Depression of 1920

"The economic situation in 1920 was grim. By that year unemployment had jumped from 4 percent to nearly 12 percent, and GNP declined 17 percent. No wonder, then, that Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover — falsely characterized as a supporter of laissez-faire economics — urged President Harding to consider an array of interventions to turn the economy around. Hoover was ignored.

Instead of "fiscal stimulus," Harding cut the government's budget nearly in half between 1920 and 1922. The rest of Harding's approach was equally laissez-faire. Tax rates were slashed for all income groups. The national debt was reduced by one-third.

The Federal Reserve's activity, moreover, was hardly noticeable. As one economic historian puts it, "Despite the severity of the contraction, the Fed did not move to use its powers to turn the money supply around and fight the contraction."[2] By the late summer of 1921, signs of recovery were already visible. The following year, unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and it was only 2.4 percent by 1923.

Blah blah blah. The Market God rules. Blah blah blah.

The quick resolution of the 1920 recession was merely a coincidence of its nature, not the result of Market Worship policies

Beautiful! The quick recovery in 1920 was just a freak of nature.
The extended downturn of the Great Depression was caused by government.
oops.

Yes, fundamentally the economic situation in 1930 was far worse than the situation in 1920. The situation in 1920 allowed for the market to correct itself. The situation in 1930, when economic demand crashed worldwide in a prolonged manner, did not.

You won't find any serious support for the idea that FDR caused the depression whereas the Market God would have solved things itself, except from true believers in your market worship religion.

The market always corrects itself. You might delay the correction for a time but it will always fix itself no matter how painful the correction is.

...and gave us an economy with 20% average unemployment for 8 years.

Straw man.
No one claims FDR caused teh Depression. But he did prolong the Depression. Every country in Europe was in recovery by the 1930s. The US was the exception.
Hoover was a Progressive and his policies made the recession worse. Smoot-Hawley was one of the many drivers of the crash. FDR doubled down on stupid. Obama is tripling down on it.

 

[The Rabbi]

Geezus, they got nuttier and more stupid as time goes on. This moron might beat Billy Triple Fail in the stupid department.
No, dope. We dont worship the market. We recognize the market does a superior job of allocating resources than government control does.
Go take an Econ course and come back.

Which explains the wonderful job the "markets" did for the poor before FDR stepped in.

FDR prolonged a depression and turned it into the Great Depression. The Depression of 1920 also happened and the government did nothing to "fix" it, the Market was allowed to correct itself….it lasted about 1 year. FDR stepped in in the 30s to get us out of the depression……and it lasted till the outbreak of WW2. And unemployment never fell below 14%…….so FDR did nothing for the poor but keep them poor…….

That's totally false. The depression that started in 1929 was far more severe than previous depressions/panics. It is your religion that leads you to believe that the Market God would have solved things itself.

FDR saved this nation. Progressivism saved this nation. Without them, the Great Depression would have destroyed our country as we know it. And they created programs that have improved our quality of life to this day.

No….FDR pushed us into a deeper, more desperate economic situation and we didn't recover until WW2, nothing he did helped, it just made it worse. AGain, we had a depression in 1920, the government did nothing…..and we were out in a year.

Revisionist history. The depression would have continued regardless, FDR helped the working class through it and set a framework for the social safety net we have now.

Bullshit. FDR hurt the working class. Thus we had 20% unemployment for years.
