If/when the next economic crisis hits, how would republicans respond?

[Sun Devil 92]

Republicans will respond the same way they always do

1. Deny there is a problem
2. Let the economy "fix itself"
3. Use the collapse as an excuse to slash taxes and lay off workers
4. Use the collapse as an excuse to cut welfare payments and unemployment benefits
5. Try to kill Obamacare

Or we can use the down economy to justify putting more people on government programs....like Obamacare.

How many federal workers have been added by Obamacare?

None

Right....

But we now have people receiving subsidies....for Obamacare.....a government program....

Try to keep up.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Ok why can't any republicans here explain how repubs would respond to the crisis?

1. Cut taxes on the "Job Creators".

2. Deregulate, deregulate, deregulate.

3. Pray.

Actually the GOP will do that regardless because we've seen what the opposite produces: the worst recovery on record post WW2, stagnation, declining household wealth.
The best thing the GOP can do is nothing and let the recession work its way out. The more gov't interferes trying to "fix" recessions, the worse the recovery afterwards. Coolidge showed us how to deal with this in the 1921 Depression that wasnt and Obama has shown how not to deal with it in the Bush Recession/Obama Depression of 2008 and following.

Oh really? So if we get into a job free fall like what happened at the end of 2008 we should just let the dominoes fall huh? Yeah great plan.

I would agree....it is a great plan.

Let's consider something I watched happen during the so-called "great recession".

Obamabats rolled in and took over banks. The regulators were people who had no idea of what it is that they were doing. They called notes and forced business into bankruptcy. Later on, banks whose books were much worse that those intially foreclosed on....were allowed to remain open to cut down the appearance of total bedlam.

A lot of real estate went under. It would have been a good deal if we could have gotten our hands on it. But much of it was bundled up and sold in 20 and 30 million dollar lots....for pennies on the dollar. Who got to play that game.....those who already had money. Essentially making the rich richer.

I know a gent in CO whose business and grown to a net worth of over 105 million. He owed 80 million through various loans. His bank went under and his notes were called....so he went under. He could have continued had he been allowed....is business was hurting...but he was able to make it.His business was sold to a hedge fund who eventually sold it back to him for about 35 million. It is now worth more than the 105 million it was worth in 2007. His loans are now 45 million less...complements of Uncle Sam. Who ultimately paid for that ?

So....your plans don't look so good Billy.

Letting it fail on it's own is a great idea.

A couple of months after Obama's stimulus was signed into law the jobs free fall was reversed and we have had private job growth ever since. That is the fact that matters.

You can't prove the two are related.

That is the fact that matters.

I;d ask for proof of any of that but your penchant for throwing shit around is well known and verified.

Isn't this the part of a thread where you make bizarre unsupportable statements and then run away?

Disappointed your worthless post didn't elicit anything ?

One extra job is "job growth". Everyone knows that we went through several years of sluggish job creation and that it still isn't up to snuff.

Whine all you want.

1. Nobody knows what would have happened had things been allowed to just happen absent the government.
2. Nobody knows where our economy would be had Obama stayed out of it.
3. The stimulus was a myth.

Lol just because you cons hate giving Obama credit for ANYTHING positive doesn't mean you are actually right. Any independent economists will tell you that the stimulus reversed the job free fall. There was no indication that the recession was stopping or slowing down right before the stimulus was passed. The CBO has no democrat bias. Its data points to what the stimulus accomplished. Try doing some actual research instead of listening to what Fox News or republicans tell you.

when they cut taxes, THE government can cut about a DOZEN federal agencies at the same time. It's time they freaking shoulder some of this pain we are going through. instead Obama sticks a NEW Entitlement on our backs called, OscamCare in that economy that you on left WAILED. it was the worst recession since the Great Depression

that is a Reason to VOTE OUT THIS Democrat party, they've hurt us Enough

Ah, but now you are changing the subject.

You whine about republicans (which I am not), but admit that democrats use a down economy to meet their goals.

Government programs that help people get healthcare are good things....it's just unfortunate that Obamacare isn't that.

Beyond that....what is the difference between republicans cutting taxes (is that a bad thing) and you putting people on government programs ?

6. Complain complain complain.
7. Blame blame blame.
8. Obama Obama Obama.
That sums what republicans do.
They won the midterm election. They now control congress and senate. Have they done anything or any different? None. Not even a bowel movement.

Obamacare was not passed because it was a down economy. It was passed because for the first time in 30 years, the Democrats had the votes

Well we saw the alternative has been: eternal recession. Better to get it over quickly and have everything back humming in 18 months with lower deficits than eternally high deficits and high levels of dependence.

Eternal recession? We have seen consistent private job growth since June of 2009. The stimulus reversed that jobs free fall. H

I heard the stimulus cured bunions as well.

True/ Of course that has nothing to do with Obamacare. Obamacare is about government taking over the economy and creating more dependence. Thats not so good,

Another recyclued failed thread from BIlly Triple Fail. Hey, Billy. This thread failed when you posted it what, 4 months ago?
For the record, the Democrats' approach has produced the worst recovery post war on record. So if we do the opposite we'll be fine.

The leadership in your party swore to sabotage Obama's presidency from day one in 2009. This might have something to with Obama not being able to pull us out of the bush/cheney crash as quickly as you had expected. I put a link below about it for you, although it will require you to stop posting for a bit to actually read it.
