More Random Truths.....

7. FDR ran for President on a promise to balance the budget and cut spending by 25%. Roosevelt expanded the federal government and ran up deficits much greater than those of Hoover.

Another good example of distortion. FDR tried to balance the budget as promised and discovered the theory that supported balancing the budget to repair the economy did not work. It led to the '37-38' recession and he quickly abandoned the idea that a struggling economy could be repaired with concentrating on balancing the budget. He got the economy back on track and shortly later a little glitch developed called World War II.

"...FDR tried to balance the budget as promised and discovered the theory that supported balancing the budget to repair the economy did not work. It led to the '37-38' recession..."


And this, you liar: LewisDouglas quit the Budget Bureau in 1934 in protest against FDR's spending
"The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope,"
By Jonathan Alter....p. 324



1934!!!

Lewis Douglas was not the top economic adviser or official in the FDR administration. Rexford Tugwell was and Douglas was frustrated with constantly being overruled by FDR because of Tugwell's advice. To complicate it more Douglas would pick and choose which New Deal programs were OK and which he judged to be not OK. He had promised to be a team player and turned out not to be anything close to a team player. He came in with a new administration and was gone after a year and a half.

Stop begging.

Now you're proving that everything I said about Douglas, FDR, and you, was correct.

That is your response? The usual meaningless attempt at an insult and a declaration that you are correct and a victor. It is as always with fake people like you. You can not refute what gets refuted so you use your old standby methods of evasion. All this to argue that the guy who brought us out of the depression, made life better for Americans while we were in it, won WWII and put us on a pace to be the richest most powerful nation on earth, did it wrong. He should have listened to some other folks instead of the ones he did listen to? Should have had someone like you advising him.

There are so many conservative commentators, and conversations, that have contributed to these truths....you may recognize some of your words, as well.....

1. The Left survives on demonization of the Right…rather than debating ideas: they teach their drones that the Right is not wrong, but evil…
2. The minute you envy another, your happiness is injured,and breeds unhappiness. Religious folks tend to be happy with what they have. Thus Marx hated that view because the Utopia had to be here and now…
3. Government must be limited in scope Madison: laws must be simple clear few. Must be understood by all: otherwise it is government by experts, bureaucrats and technocrats. a. Sure enough, Liberals snap to attention when they hear 'studies show....'
4. Unlimited opportunity can only come with limited government.
5. What leftism has done to every profession is to put leftism above being good at the task…
   a. Famine under communist rule in the USSR is a perfect example.
   
   6. The danger is not a man like Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting the office of the presidency to a man like Barack Obama
   
   7. The mind of the Liberal: Whatever they imagine, they believe must be imposed.
   
   8. For Liberals, wishful thinking substitutes for an understanding of reality…thus…the view of the Arab Spring as a good thing…and overthrowing of Mubarak in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood
   
   9. We want liberty…but mistakenly say democracy…you can have democracy but deprive people of liberty (see Egypt)
   
   10. If the desire is for a ‘level playing field,’ how to explain progressive income tax?

1. The Left survives on demonization of the Right…rather than debating ideas: they teach their drones that the Right is not wrong, but evil…

Ummm, which point posted above is not a demonization of liberals and the left?

Hypocrisy thy name is PoliticalChic!

[Camp]

One of the reasons FDR was considered a great President by people during his terms in offices was his vision. Many of the era believed it was his vision and his willingness to fight the legislature and courts to push his visions forward is why he was elected repeatedly. He was elected four times.
FDR ran a deficit for various reasons, but one of them was to develop weapons in preparation of the war his vision told him was coming. He had the aircraft industry develop modern aircraft and helped finance tooling of factories to produce them for when the need arose. He financed the development of modern aircraft carriers and had begun producing them. The people of that era knew that the actions taken by FDR saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American lives. At a time when the barbarians were at the gate the nation chose FDR to man the gates. Today some people are stuck on how high his deficits went and are pissed off that like every Presidential candidate in modern American history made promises he failed to keep.

...that would be demonization, right?

If FDR had listened to Lewis Douglas America would not have been the only nation in the world with a four engine long range bomber in production and thousands on order and being produced when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. It's development was begun in 1935 at the request of FDR and the USAAF.

Of course in your brain the B-17 and having them in production when Germany started the war in Europe was probably no big deal. Just a silly old airplane.

Even Keynes says you and FDR are dunces....
John Maynard Keynes, in a letter published in the NYTimes, December 31, 1933, warned “ even wise and necessary Reform may, in some respects, impede and complicate Recovery. For it will upset the confidence of the business world and weaken their existing motives to action.” Even Keynes saw the danger in treating the nation’s capitalists as an enemy, as “the unscrupulous money changers,” as FDR called them in his first Inaugural.


Only the was stopped FDR from going full Bolshevik.

You should lie about things you know a little about. This is one of your big lie post. And it is easy to show it to be a lie. Again, you take a small quote that has been cherry picked to support your allegation, take it out of context and distort it.

FDR and Keynes had a great and intricate relationship of communicating economic ideas and theories. Not only did they communicate through letters, they communicated in person, face to face. Keynes was British and so one must put his comments into that context. His concern was about how America's economy would effect Britain.

So lets look at this lie you have told about Keynes saying FDR was a dunce. We will assume you do not mean he literally called him a dunce, but rather accept that you mean he showed some disrespect and insinuated he was a dunce. Lets go further and just assume you mean to imply Keynes treated FDR as an ill informed person and not even close to being an equal to his own knowledge about economics. Any advantage you are given, your comment comes out as a lie.

Here is the letter from Keynes you have cherry picked a quote from to infer that he viewed FDR as a dunce.

Well, she didn't get that quote from where she said it comes from. What she used was a quote from somewhere that used a part of the letter that contained only a small portion of what is being promoted as a quote. It comes from the section numbered 3 and if you read that short section it becomes obvious that PoliticalChick is using a bastardized and manipulated quote which has been changed drastically into the quote she is pimping.

Well you can use that excuse anytime. PC insist and demands that all of her comments are always 100% spot on accurate. When someone calls her out and suggest she is wrong she comes back with every kind of insult you can think of and calls the critic a liar. She makes a special effort to insist she never ever lies.
As you may have observed from my past post, I am a supporter of FDR and his politics. Anytime I have the opportunity to educate folks about FDR I take it. PoliticalChick offers vast opportunities to promote FDR and provide educational material for those who may stumble across these threads and become curious. I really believe those who take her threads serious or actually support her nonsense are beyond influence or help in becoming rational thinkers. You have to be one brainwashed wacko to believe most of her garbage. But it is entertaining and educational as it draws a long list of critics who offer academic responses to her malicious rants.
I think to be a tu quoque argument from me I would have to be challenging the original premise of her OP. All I am doing is calling her a liar and providing proof of her lie.

7. Folks who have never run a business think they can decide what level of margin represents greed, rather than ambition.

Arrogant and twisted way to suggest a way to judge greed. Poor folks can be greedy and so can hourly workers. Judgement of greed related to accumulated wealth is a simple judgement equated to how much wealth there is and how it is distributed.

Its funny how liberals like you have something wrong with "accumulated wealth." Yet, you want a living wage, but not "accumulated wealth." You want $15 bucks an hour working at a Mickey D's, but not "accumulated wealth." Naturally, those two things will lead to an "accumulation of wealth;" something you view as "greed." What a specious little rationale that is.

1934!!!

Lewis Douglas was not the top economic adviser or official in the FDR administration. Rexford Tugwell was and Douglas was frustrated with constantly being overruled by FDR because of Tugwell's advice. To complicate it more Douglas would pick and choose which New Deal programs were OK and which he judged to be not OK. He had promised to be a team player and turned out not to be anything close to a team player. He came in with a new administration and was gone after a year and a half.

Wrong again. Lewis Douglas was appointed Director of the Bureau of the Budget in 1933. That made him one of FDR's top economic advisers until FDR decided to go on a spending binge. After which he broke ties with him altogether in 1934.

Rexford Tugwell was kicked out of the administration in 1936, given that he had an ever increasing opposition to FDR's policies. His opposition was just so that people started calling him (falsely) "Rex the Red," an insinuation that he was a communist.

Stop lying camp. Just...stop.

If FDR had listened to Lewis Douglas America would not have been the only nation in the world with a four engine long range bomber in production and thousands on order and being produced when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. It's development was begun in 1935 at the request of FDR and the USAAF.

Of course in your brain the B-17 and having them in production when Germany started the war in Europe was probably no big deal. Just a silly old airplane.

Even Keynes says you and FDR are dunces....
John Maynard Keynes, in a letter published in the NYTimes, December 31, 1933, warned “ even wise and necessary Reform may, in some respects, impede and complicate Recovery. For it will upset the confidence of the business world and weaken their existing motives to action.” Even Keynes saw the danger in treating the nation’s capitalists as an enemy, as “the unscrupulous money changers,” as FDR called them in his first Inaugural.


Only the was stopped FDR from going full Bolshevik.

You should lie about things you know a little about. This is one of your big lie post. And it is easy to show it to be a lie. Again, you take a small quote that has been cherry picked to support your allegation, take it out of context and distort it.

FDR and Keynes had a great and intricate relationship of communicating economic ideas and theories. Not only did they communicate through letters, they communicated in person, face to face. Keynes was British and so one must put his comments into that context. His concern was about how America's economy would effect Britain.

So lets look at this lie you have told about Keynes saying FDR was a dunce. We will assume you do not mean he literally called him a dunce, but rather accept that you mean he showed some disrespect and insinuated he was a dunce. Lets go further and just assume you mean to imply Keynes treated FDR as an ill informed person and not even close to being an equal to his own knowledge about economics. Any advantage you are given, your comment comes out as a lie.

Here is the letter from Keynes you have cherry picked a quote from to infer that he viewed FDR as a dunce.

That is called proving a lie with a link.

No. None of that. She is stating, that even as he was, Keynes acknowledged that "even wise and necessary reform in some respects, impede and complicate Recovery. For it will upset the confidence of the business world and weaken their existing motives to action."

You post whole links to provide supposed context, but ignore very definitive statements made by Keynes himself.

More Random Truths.....

7. FDR ran for President on a promise to balance the budget and cut spending by 25%. Roosevelt expanded the federal government and ran up deficits much greater than those of Hoover.

Another good example of distortion. FDR tried to balance the budget as promised and discovered the theory that supported balancing the budget to repair the economy did not work. It led to the '37-38' recession and he quickly abandoned the idea that a struggling economy could be repaired with concentrating on balancing the budget. He got the economy back on track and shortly later a little glitch developed called World War II.

"...FDR tried to balance the budget as promised and discovered the theory that supported balancing the budget to repair the economy did not work. It led to the '37-38' recession..."


And this, you liar: LewisDouglas quit the Budget Bureau in 1934 in protest against FDR's spending

1934!!!

Lewis Douglas was not the top economic adviser or official in the FDR administration. Rexford Tugwell was and Douglas was frustrated with constantly being overruled by FDR because of Tugwell's advice. To complicate it more Douglas would pick and choose which New Deal programs were OK and which he judged to be not OK. He had promised to be a team player and turned out not to be anything close to a team player. He came in with a new administration and was gone after a year and a half.

Wrong again. Lewis Douglas was appointed Director of the Bureau of the Budget in 1933. That made him one of FDR's top economic advisers until FDR decided to go on a spending binge. After which he broke ties with him altogether in 1934.

Rexford Tugwell was kicked out of the administration in 1936, given that he had an ever increasing opposition to FDR's policies. His opposition was just so that people started calling him (falsely) "Rex the Red," an insinuation that he was a communist.

Stop lying camp. Just...stop.

And, with reference to Tugwell.....like FDR, he despised the Constitution.

It is a fact that none of the New Dealers were constitutionalists. Roosevelt's economist, Rexford Tugwell said: ''Any people who must be governed according to the written codes of an instrument which defines the spheres of individual and group, state and federal actions must expect to suffer from the constant maladjustment of progress. A life' which changes and a constitution for governance which does not must always raise questions which are difficult for solution."
Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p.63


This is when and how it all went wrong for America.
