Pocahontas: We Need Big Government! 'Nobody In America Succeeds On Their Own'

We had much better economic growth and became the economic powerhouse of the world when our government was much smaller.

See FDR and postwar US

Attack Warren by slandering native American historical figures. That’ll get lots of votes.

Do what dean? Wasn't it the govt that broke every treaty and killed the natives. Lol.

Is that why you love Russia? Because you think they are a better government than ours?

Love russia? Now that's a wild leap. No, don't love russia and our type of govt is better.

The Federal Government was NEVER supposed to be as large and powerful as it has become. Our primary government was supposed to be at the State level where you could more easily access your politicians a the geographically closer State Capital. You could travel there and CONFRONT THEM for making tyrannical policy.

Those roads and bridges were not built out of the generosity of private companies

Nor out of the generosity of government either. When a new business wants to open up in a city or state, the funding used to create those roads and bridges is an investment. The new establishment will likely provide decades of new taxes. Therefore the city or state not only gets their money back, but at a profit as well.

First off, no President creates jobs, the private sector creates jobs. All any representative can do is make it more or less inviting for the private sector to accomplish this. And Remember that DumBama was the most anti-business President of our lifetime.

But the economy and job creation is like a video game. Levels 1, 2 and 3 are fairly easy, but it gets harder as the game moves on. When you get to the higher levels, the game gets nearly impossible to beat.

DumBama got in at level 1, and Trump got in at level 9.

There’s a debate whether jobs growth is continuing because of President Donald Trump or in spite of him. But what is clear is that the U.S. economy is adding jobs at a solid clip nearly a decade into what’s already the second-longest post-war economic expansion on record.

The Trump Scoreboard shows that 5.4 million new jobs have been created under the 45th president. That puts the jobs growth, on a median per-month basis, ahead of President Barack Obama’s, though still well behind President Bill Clinton’s.

Trump Scoreboard shows acceleration in jobs growth even with unemployment rate at new lows

The Great Obama was the most anti Business President in our lifetime?

Yet business managed to create 13 million jobs?

More like under 9 million which is a little over one million a year. Plus the economy was sluggish since most of them were minimum wage or part-time jobs.

Which President Created the Most Jobs?

The Great Obama came in with an economy LOSING 770,000 jobs a month. He handed Trump an economy GAINING 250,000 jobs a month

That is a million jobs a month better than he was given

You mean a year. But that still doesn't negate that DumBama was the most anti-business President in our lifetime. He's closed down businesses, burdened them with Commie Care and various other regulations, he increased their taxes.

The Federal Reserve initiated Quantitive Easing, and if anybody is to get credit for helping companies create jobs, it's them. Anything DumBama did for business was a negative.

You guys keep passing that lie even though economic indicators show the complete opposite.

13 million jobs added, unemployment dropped over five percent, saved the banks and auto sector, global trade agreements.
Obamacare did not affect jobs, in spite of Republican fear mongering

So you're saying my sources are wrong? Then provide a more reliable one. Nobody saved the auto industry. Without DumBama pouring our tax dollars into union shops like the auto plants, they would have filed for bankruptcy and would have rebuilt the organization under court rules. All DumBama did was repay his union supporters who voted for him.

18th century government concentrated at the State level because of the size of the country and limited transportation and communication. Made central government control impossible

By the Civil War, we recognized the limitations of State centered government. We changed from being a bunch of states that were united to THE UNITED STATES

Those businesses do not function without Government constructed ports, roads, bridges, water, sewers....

Like the Great Obama said......you did not build that

 

[OldLady]

She's got the same mindset as Barack 'You Didn't Build That' Obama, the non-natural born Citizen Constitutionally ineligible ex-president. Her presidential aspirations will fail.

Elizabeth Warren: ‘Nobody in America Succeeds on Their Own'

She's right.

 

[Unkotare]

Some things really threaten democrats: innocent life, personal responsibility, and individual success.

 

[OldLady]

We had much better economic growth and became the economic powerhouse of the world when our government was much smaller.

After WWII when we were the only manufacturing economy left, yeah, we were great. Europe has rebuilt and China has come into the 21st century. It isn't so much about the government as it is about competition.

Wrong

 

[dudmuck]

only a few percentage points smaller, not much smaller:

 

[Dragonlady]

LMAO What a lying statement.

Loads of people do quite well without a Big Government.

No one needs Government to succeed.

Then why are the big successful companies only headquartered in countries with big strong governments? Why don't they locate their companies in low tax backwaters? Because the government provides them with infrastructure, an educated work force, patent protections, courts, and an army to prevent theft of their property, including intellectual property.

The USA is currently losing out on investment because of the poor quality of your infrastructure, and the high cost of employee health insurance, and low education standards.

Only an idiot thinks thinks they succeed on their own.

But isn't it government that's responsible for us being less competitive than we were years ago?

And where did the government get that money to build those things? They didn't do it out of the goodness of their heart. Again, they did it as an investment.

Elizabeth Warren: ‘Nobody in America Succeeds on Their Own'

First, I do NOT agree with her at ALL AND I DESPISE big government...it is the root of trouble - not prosperity. Government should look after those who cannot look after themselves and then leave the rest of us the hell alone (outside of basic stuff like policing laws, military, etc.).
If you are mentally/physically healthy and cannot succeed without government handouts - then you don't deserve to succeed. Period.

Second, Breitbart? And this is from something she said 6-7 years ago. You could not have found another source for this?
You Trumpbots freak if a liberal uses CNN for a source...and you use Breitbart?

Breitbart makes Fox News look like Gandhi in terms of credibility. And you should at least state in the OP that it is from that long ago (though I doubt her position has changed much)....otherwise, it is somewhat misleading.

Just sayin'...

You may not like the source, but doesn't this fall in line with Democrat talking points? It's not like it's a real shock she made such statements.

Well...it's certainly inline with hers and many Democrats - yes.

Though I hesitate to say all of them...I still believe there are some loyal Dems who don't like MASSIVE government. After all, the last President that posted anywhere near a balanced budget was a Dem (Clinton).

Just as I still believe there are loyal Reps who think Trump is a clown.

Actually, I believe that American politics is not as divided as most seem to make it out to be. It's just that the extremists of both parties have risen up lately. But - like most bad things - this too shall pass.

 

[Crepitus]

LMAO What a lying statement.

No one needs Government to succeed.

You drive on the roads? Your car safe to use? Clean water to your kitchen sink? Safe medicines when you get sick? Secure financial institutions to hold your money?

How much h do I need to list?

You are confused Moon Bat.

Nobody would deny that there are a few necessary government functions. Defense, courts, roads etc.

However that is much different than filthy out of control bloated debt ridden big government that idiot Moon Bats like Warren demands.

I can support paying a tax on fuel to help build and maintain roads. What is absolutely unnecessary is the filthy welfare state and all the other worthless shit you get with big government.

Every developed country in the world has a social welfare net. Without it crime rates soar.

Elizabeth Warren: ‘Nobody in America Succeeds on Their Own'

Shes correct. Nobody succeeds on their own.

And you think Government is responsible for success ?

Government provides the very framework in which you strive to succeed.

Actually it’s the private sector that funds and structures the federal government, too bad the federal governments had gotten too powerful
