If GOP takes Senate, how long until 2nd Great Depression?

[Dad2three]

Bush's documented policies and statements in timeframe leading up to the start of the Bush Mortgage Bubble include (but not limited to)

Wanting 5.5 million more minority homeowners
Tells congress there is nothing wrong with GSEs
Pledging to use federal policy to increase home ownership

Wait!! Stop the press!! So now you are saying that it's Republicans and not Democrats who stand up for minorities and the middle class?? I never thought I'd see any liberal try to admit to that about Republicans in a post!!

Now what will Dad2three possibly try and say next? lol

You mean Dubya wanted more shills in on his ponzi scheme? Yes


How'd that work out for US again, 'stand up for minorities and middle class'? lol

If we should take a giant leap backwards and put the party of greed and excess back in charge cutting social programs while going hog wild on spending on corporate subsidies, tax breaks, defense contracts, and Federal Salaries and benefits -- the income gap will quickly grow to pre-Depression levels and when people have no money to spend in a Consumer Driven Economy -- the country will fall apart pretty fast.
And while the ship is sinking, the scumbags at Fox will blame Obama.

Oh look... more mindless partisan bigotry from the Nut.

Lets assume for the minute that you're right and the GOP-controlled congress passes bills that do all of the things you mention, in spades.
How will they ever become law?

No answer from Nut. What a surprise.

You mean like today and for the past 6 years ass the GOP has REFUSED to pass anything that might help US? That's why so much Executive Actions? Taking the senate will slow Obama, specifically in judges... Can't slow US down much more than what the GOP has been doing though!

I see you missed the point.
Maybe if you weren't so caught up in yelling at the top of your lungs at anyone that disagrees with you.

Your premise was bullshit to begin with, just like today without the GOP support nothing becomes law.

You mean -Hazelnut's- premise is BS.

If I 'make' a million dollars, I accumulated money from other people. I'm not actually producing cash, I'm acquiring theirs. Therefore, others have collectively lost a million dollars of purchasing power to me.

These people can't go demand new money just because I have all of their money.

They go broke, I get rich, and income inequality is a thing.

This is socialistic gibberish. Making a million dollars means you invested in or created something that benefitted many other people, which results in jobs, salaries, wages, inventions, opportunities, products, usually cheaper products, and commerce, all adding to the economy.... This notion that the pie is of a defined and static size only shows a lack of understanding of how an economy works. Just because I succeed does not mean anyone else fails......on the contrary, I succeed by way of increased economic activity, mine, theirs, ours or all of the above. The punk in Detroit has nothing to do with it. You think people go poor because Zuckerberg made billions? Is he, or Buffett or Gates or the Koch Brothers or the idiot Steyer all responsible for the abysmal economic failings of the Obama administration? Come on, your ability to cut and paste tells me you are smarter than that!!!

MORE right wing garbage from you, I'm shocked


Wealth is a Zero-Sum Game


Conservative damagogues like Limbaugh have been able to convince the public that the huge incomes of the wealthiest Americans are irrelevant to those who make moderate-to-low incomes. They even suggest that the more money the wealthiest Americans make, the more wealth will trickle down to the lower classes.

If you've swallowed this line of conservative garbage, get ready to vomit. As all conservative economists know, and deny to the public that they know, wealth is a zero-sum game. That is true at both the front end—when income is divided up, and the back end—when it is spent.

The Front End of Zero-Sum: Dividing the Loot

There is only so much corporate income in a given year. The more of that income that is used to pay workers, the less profit the corporation makes. The less profit, the less the stock goes up. The less the stock goes up, the less the CEO and the investors make. It’s as simple as that. Profit equals income minus expenses. No more, no less.

Subtract the right side of the equation from the left side and the answer is always zero. Hence the term, “zero-sum.”

So, to the extent a corporation can keep from sharing the wealth with workers—the ones who created the wealth to begin with—investors and executives get a bigger slice of the income pie and become richer.

The Zero-sum Nature of economics


I KNOW, YOU CAN'T REFUTE MY LINKS SO YOU'LL USE AD HOMS, AND I'LL BE IMPRESSED *SHAKING HEAD*

I won't even try to refute your links, as they defy the most basic economics courses......perhaps take one course, at a reputable school, and get back to us.

The idea that posting/arguing with links is dumb.

Try again.

Conservative policy NEVER works. Pretty simple really

It is not my job to inform you how dumb you look with most every post. Bush 43's record on most every topic, while not always conservative, is better than our current experiment.

You claim conservative policies never work. yet I bet you cannot even intelligently articulate one, much less all of them that, according to you , never worked. I hope I have the time to respond to what must be a crackalackin' response..... I've got a full magazine, how about you?
