Democrat Expertise

Isn't Democrat expertise an oxymoron?

The Economy Does Better Under The Democrats - Forbes

The problem is that that is all Democrats see, and vote for....persons.

Whoever said this is right except it is not a Democrat problem, it is an America problem. We are generally lazy and apathetic when it comes to politics. How many people even bother to vote? We don't listen to the news so we don't know the issues. We liked Dubya because we could have a beer with him. We liked Obama because he promised us hope and change. We like Trump because he is talks tough even though his policies are not nearly as popular as he is.

We don't get the gov't we want because we get the gov't we deserve.

Who are you and what have you done with alang1216????

I saw a recent TV ad about the situation of landlords under Democrat rent control, and it makes a powerful point about the folks we put in control of economic policy.





1.What happens when voters choose based on personality or party, rather than policy?

In 1988, I invested most of the earnings from this lecture circuit acquiring the leasehold on Connecticut’s Stratford Inn.

In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, ...I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender." George McGovern On Why Politicians Who Haven't Built A Business Are Bad At Regulating

A Liberal Democrat who learned the lesson many Democrat voters have yet to incorporate (pun intended).

Trashing the US Constitution.
Making a mess at our Southern Border

AND being an overall asshole, fraud, business cheat, women abuser, adulterer, and liar.

Most of your list is ranting-there is one important line-childish name calling. Rational people have told me they support Trump but- the name calling reminds them of bullying which they won't tolerate. The people who voted for him last time won't this time for that reason.

It is not a question of support for Trump....or any other person.....it is the principles and policies that count.


One cannot ignore what Trump policies have accomplished.



Here's a dozen reasons:


Most voted against the Democrats,
against the mess Hussein Obama made of the economy,
against the corruption we've witnessed for decades,
against awarding nuclear weapons to the 7th century savages,
against the anti-white bias of the Democrat Party,

against the flood of illegal immigrants who require welfare
against bringing millions of unvetted Muslim refugees from war-indoctrinated nations,
against redistribution of wealth,
against the failed Liberal welfare industry,
against being dictated to by the United Nothings,
against a failed Liberal education industry,
against $20 trillion national debt...

...and for the slim possibility of a rebirth of America.




"When secular leftists express frustration at how practicing Catholics (your humble servants) and evangelicals could ever vote for Donald Trump, the first thing they refuse to concede is the horror of the alternative.

They refuse to admit that Hillary Clinton clearly, forthrightly stood for abortion on demand, at any time, for any reason and even supported it having it funded by pro-life taxpayers. It’s what she and her husband called “safe, legal and rare.” Hillary and her crew even dismissed the videotaped baby-organ-selling grotesqueries of Planned Parenthood as somehow fictional. And they refuse to admit that Hillary Clinton represented the creeping extremism of the LGBT movement, with its emphasis on redesigning all the nation’s bathrooms, not to mention human nature."

[/QUOTE]
Obama inherited a trillion plus deficit & an economy shrinking at a rate over 6% & losing 800,000 jobs a month.

Trump inherited a growing economy & a long string of positive job growth & a deficit far less than he inherited.

Farmers received any money yet? Why are they going bankrupt. rump took 16 billion & passed it out to cover up his blunder & you are happy?

It is a FACT, Trump has rolled back environment regulations concerning air & water quality. He has rolled back regulations governing the workplace.

No President has lied more that Trump.

Record number of appointees that left in corruption

The Iran agreement was designed to be renegotiated in ten years. So what? Now they can do whatever. In ten years, Iran will likely be more receptive to changing their ways as the old hard liners move on. How is that new agreement coming along?

Trump has not negotiated any trade agreements with these countries.

So the bigots, racists, and white Nationalists love Trump because he is against them. I get it.

Mueller was appointed by the Trump administration & did a report. It is the job of Congress to be a check & balance, not the DOJ. I remember when Obama told the Republicans to quit investigating him & Hillary or he would not work with them. Oh wait, he didn't. You assfucks investigated all kinds of shit under Obama & now you whine like a little girl when Your orange buddy gets investigated. What a bunch of panty waists you are.

Trump has done little to help this country. He just claims anything is good is due to him & anytring bad has to do with someone else. ( Kind of like you)

The FBI did its job. Trump's a campaign advisor was picked up on a Russian wire tap and I guess you thibk they should do nothing.

Obama NEVER promised NOT to golf. Hey, what's a100 million. Obama never flew to Florida over the weekends to golf at his own resort while charging the Secret Service tens of thousands to rent golf carts from him.

You people are so fucking stupid that it makes me sick. Trump is fucking you & you bending over & say give me more.

Any praise for Obama is purely propaganda. The man is an incompetent ingrate....very much like you.


He inherited an average economy, and never improved it.



So says the Left-leaning Reuters:

The unemployment rate announced three days after his election was 6.5%....not particularly terrible. But it was the only economic news, and had Obama insisting we were suffering "the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression." Obama: U.S. in worst crisis since Depression - Reuters



Obama did a terrible job with his Democrat policies:
"...the economy was stagnating in 2016 after the weakest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.

In fact, The New York Times itself described Obama's economy this way in August 2016: "For three quarters in a row, the growth rate of the economy has hovered around a mere 1%. In the last quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the economy expanded at feeble annual rates of 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively. The initial reading for the second quarter of this year, released on Friday, was a disappointing 1.2%."

...GDP growth decelerated in each of the last three quarters of 2016."





And on January 27, 2017, after the government reported that GDP growth for all 2016 was a mere 1.6% — the weakest in five years —"

Trump picked up an revitalized the economy:

One must remember that Democrat economic policy is an extension of Soviet Bolshevik policies.....ending private property.



5. Here, once again, that apocryphal tale of boiling the frog: put it in cold water, and raise the temperature so slowly that it fails to recognize the threat: boiled frog.

That's what 'regulation' is....the threat is the destruction of the right to private property.



6. Why is 'private property's so important?
Before the Founders settled on 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,' ....

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in theUnited States Declaration of Independence.[1]The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" which the Declaration says has been given to all human beings by their Creator, and for which governments are created to protect. ....In 1689, Locke argued in hisTwo Treatises of Government that political society existed for the sake of protecting "property", which he defined as a person's "life, liberty, and estate"
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



7. While our founding documents memorialize our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the Virginia Declaration preceded it by several months. In same, George Mason had written “…the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.…” Virginia Declaration of Rights, 1776

1. The emphasis on property came from philosopher John Locke, who believed that all men had the natural rights to acquire, protect, and dispose of property.
2. Jefferson preferred the shift from material property and toward the pursuit of happiness: by such, morality became uppermost.

8. Private property is the physical dimension of capitalism, the free market.

"A fundamental principle of our society is property rights. In nations were property rights have not been formally established, the costs of legally validating ownership of a home, a farm, or a business may be prohibitively expensive relative to the average income level, a crippling handicap for those seeking to rise from poverty to prosperity. Without property rights, one with entrepreneurial talents loses the access to other people’s money: homes or other assets not recognized by a legal system cannot be used as collateral."
Sowell, “Economic Facts & Fallacies,” chapter seven.

Which Dems are calling for the end to private property? Everyone, Dems and GOP, puts limits on private property so that is not the same as ending it.

 

[william the wie]

The huge difficulty for the Ds is that Trump has attacked them strategically:

The SALT deduction limit that is destroying the blue wall tax base.

The trade war with China that is hurting the Left coast's viability in particular.

The southern border emergency decree, which will abolish most of the Blue Wall's voter base of illegal aliens.

Waiting out the Witch Hunt and the soon to be rollovers for leniency that will attack the donor base.

All of the above erodes the viability of the Ds.

4. The commercial about rent control mentioned in the OP was about property owners who are being strangled by the increases in regulations and taxes in NYC, and, I bet, in every Democrat precinct.


You can see several of them here: Taxpayers for an Affordable NY - Responsible Rent Reform




This is one of them:




This elderly property owner is fighting to keep her head above water.

She explains why:

“I observed that government has created a hostile environment which tenant against landlord.”

“…no cap on property tax….water and sewage charge…but they cap our income.”




Every voter should re-read what George McGovern stated in the OP.

In addition to this ^, rent control causes fewer units to be available at lower price points because the building owners turn out and turn what they have into high-end luxury apartments or condos to get them out of the rent caps. I am fairly progressive and while the idea of helping out the lower incomes is appealing, the reality is rent control (and unnaturally inflated minimum wages) do exactly the opposite of helping out. You couldn't design a more effective economic weapon to punish the poor than that combination.

“Joe Biden: ‘I’ve Never Been Gainfully Employed In My Life’

Another great choice to run the economy.

How about entrepreneurs having to earn a living under Democrat policies?

Coming right up….

You voted for the worst businessman in America, and you did it in spite of all of the evidence that the guy is a lying conman:

One must remember that Democrat economic policy is an extension of Soviet Bolshevik policies.....ending private property.



5. Here, once again, that apocryphal tale of boiling the frog: put it in cold water, and raise the temperature so slowly that it fails to recognize the threat: boiled frog.

That's what 'regulation' is....the threat is the destruction of the right to private property.



6. Why is 'private property's so important?
Before the Founders settled on 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,' ....

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in theUnited States Declaration of Independence.[1]The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" which the Declaration says has been given to all human beings by their Creator, and for which governments are created to protect. ....In 1689, Locke argued in hisTwo Treatises of Government that political society existed for the sake of protecting "property", which he defined as a person's "life, liberty, and estate"
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



7. While our founding documents memorialize our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the Virginia Declaration preceded it by several months. In same, George Mason had written “…the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.…” Virginia Declaration of Rights, 1776

1. The emphasis on property came from philosopher John Locke, who believed that all men had the natural rights to acquire, protect, and dispose of property.
2. Jefferson preferred the shift from material property and toward the pursuit of happiness: by such, morality became uppermost.

8. Private property is the physical dimension of capitalism, the free market.

"A fundamental principle of our society is property rights. In nations were property rights have not been formally established, the costs of legally validating ownership of a home, a farm, or a business may be prohibitively expensive relative to the average income level, a crippling handicap for those seeking to rise from poverty to prosperity. Without property rights, one with entrepreneurial talents loses the access to other people’s money: homes or other assets not recognized by a legal system cannot be used as collateral."
Sowell, “Economic Facts & Fallacies,” chapter seven.

Well put. The problem is, elections are as much a popularity/likability contest as competency. People LIKE Obama more than Trump, regardless of accomplishments. I fear they will LIKE Biden more than Trump. That's why I support Schultz-he is likable enough without the AOC agenda.

Which Dems are calling for the end to private property? Everyone, Dems and GOP, puts limits on private property so that is not the same as ending it.

That's what regulation and taxation is about.

That is exactly, 100% wrong. Both can be and are abused but that is not what they are about.

Regulation ensures that property is used safely. You can't open a bomb factory on your private property without following the proper regulations. I can't think of anyone who would disagree though you might take issue with specific regulations. Regulation is absolutely necessary if we are to live together.

Taxes raise revenue to defend your private property from foreign invaders and build a road to your private property. Again, you may take issue with specific taxes but I doubt anyone thinks there should be NO taxes on private property.

I saw a recent TV ad about the situation of landlords under Democrat rent control, and it makes a powerful point about the folks we put in control of economic policy.
