The catastrophic failure of progressive policy

[Concerned American]

Not arrogance. Fact.

And there is quite sufficient gratitude for what you've done.

Unfortunately, there is precious little coming back in return for having-your-back since the end of WW2.


And just how long do you think you'd last if America withdrew its protection?

Not long at all.

LOL, they would make Ukraine look like a super power.

 

[Kondor3]

LOL, they would make Ukraine look like a super power.

With no support from the US? Interesting assertion.

 

[P@triot]

Money and military power isn't everything when you allow millions of people die of a virus you don't even try to control.

Right? President Trump shuts down the border when the outbreak occurs and Democrats sue him…with a liberal judge illegally forcing him to open the border because the Democrats wanted to import a deadly virus. All because they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

 

[P@triot]

Successful nations share the wealth and properity

WTF?!? Where is that written?!?

Because liberalism has catastrophically failed, turning Canada into an absolute shit-hole, you now want the conservative United States to bail you out so you don’t have to admit that conservatism = prosperity and liberalism = poverty & misery.

 

[P@triot]

There hasn't been a "successful" nation ruled by a dictator, since the fall of the Roman Empire.

Exactly. Which is why the U.S. (and by extension the world economy) collapsed under Barack Obama (unemployment reaching over 10% in his first 2 years when he had a Democrat Congress that gave him dictatorial control).

Thankfully, the American people turned the entire nation over to Republicans at the midterms (an historic ass-kicking that night) who rescued the U.S. as usual.

Canadians have NEVER been threatened or attacked by Russia or any other nation except YOU.

The only nation who has ever attacked us is the USA - the War of 1812.

The only nation to ever threaten us is YOU - Donald Trump’s 51st state bullshit.

Time for YOU to take a history class Dumbfuck!!!

The USA doesn’t have “prosperity”. You have the highest rate of wealth and wage inequity in the free world. Stop believing the billionaire owned right wing media.

Conservatives have crashed YOUR economy 3 times on the last 45 years and you’re currently about to have your 4th economic meltdown in the last 50 years - all based onn”conservative policies” which transfer wealth from the middle and working class to the top.

American “prosperity” is only for the top 10% of your citizens. The other 90% are struggling. 70% of Americans don’t have the resources to pay for a $500 emergency.

Conservatism = poverty and inequality, and death to liberals. See South America in the 1970’s and 1980’s when Milton Friedman’s “capitalism on steroids” was imposed by the IMF and the world bank as a condition of loans.

South America has NEVER recovered from the death and destruction that followed.

We had the Carter disaster and also the recession under Bush was caused by Carter when democrats passed the Community Reinvestment act, the dot com recession under Clinton, and the Biden disaster.

The worst inequality is in democrat run cities

Democrats screw it up and the GOP fixes the mess every damn time

 

[krichton]

After studying hundreds of years of history, conservatives have the solutions down to a science - while progressives continue to toil in catastrophic failure as they ignore reality in favor of ideology.

As Ronald Reagan stated - "weakness invites aggression". When Bill Clinton refused to deal with Al Qaeda and pulled out of Somalia at the first sign of a fight (like a coward), he convinced the world that America was cowardly. That emboldened the world. That coupled with failing to deal with Al Qaeda gave them the time and motivation to plan and execute 9/11. The mastermind of the attack - Khalid Sheik Mohammed - admitted that they were stunned by the response by the Bush Administration and that the Bush strategy prevented more attacks.

“Then he looked at me and said, ‘How was I supposed to know that cowboy George Bush would announce he wanted us ‘dead or alive’ and then invade Afghanistan to hunt us down?’” Mitchell writes.

“KSM explained that if the United States had treated 9/11 like a law enforcement matter, he would have had time to launch a second wave of attacks.” He was not able to do so because al-Qaeda was stunned “by the ferocity and swiftness of George W. Bush’s response.”

Had Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush been in office instead of Bill Clinton, 9/11 never happens. Weakness invites aggression. And the progressive idealistic weakness has invited unspeakable horrors against the U.S. It was done once again by Barack Obama - by making heavy cuts to our U.S. military (sending a signal to enemies) and by sending billions in ransom money to Iran.

A horrifying look into the mind of 9/11’s mastermind, in his own words

This old post is literally the defacto right wing crackhead take on politics. 911 literally happened under Bush's watch, but if he were president during Clinton's term it wouldn't have happened? Are you ok? Did you forget to take your medicine? Bush was literally an idiot and we're still suffering from his legacy till this day! Although looking back, he might as well be a road scholar compared to who we have in office right now. Also, wasn't it Obama the one who killed Osama Bin Laden, while George Bush said, he doesn't think about him?? Obama also spent over 6.50 trillion on the military, but ok, let's say, he made "heavy cuts" because this fits the cuckoo narrative better.

Yes, billions were sent to Iran under Obama, because it was their money to begin with, and it was done so in order for them to sign the JCPOA

You need a better source of business news if that’s what you believe. Or an economics 101 course.

You have it backwards. It’s the Democrats who keep patching up the US economy after Republicans drive it into the ditch.

Reagan - 1987, W - 2008, Trump - 2020, Trump - right now. You can’t claim it’s anything BUT conservative policies because every Republican tax cut has resulted in two things:

1. An economic crash; and

2. An acceleration of the wealth transfer to the top 10%.

Both the tax cuts and the resulting economic crashes have:

A. benefitted the wealthy;

B. reduced the size of the American middle class; and

C. impoverished the working class.

In economics 101 you will learn that a thriving and successful middle class is the key to a successful capitalist economy. Republican destruction of the American middle class is quite literally killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

The disaster under Bush was caused by the Republican repeal of the banking laws passed after the Great Depression to prevent Republicans from crashing the economy again.

You have to be really ******* gullible to believe that a law passed in the 1970’s resulted in an economic melt down 30 years by later.

The Republican Party thanks you for your gullibility and your vote. I hope you’re well prepared for the fiscal ass-******* that’s hitting you now.

Carter created the worst recession in history Regan fixed it
The CRA caused the failure of Fanny Mae Bush fixed it
Clinton caused a dot com recession. The GOP took over the government and balanced the budget Gingrich fixed it
Biden who was so impaired he couldnt mange the economy created the worst inflation in 40 years
Trump has revered that.

Today inflation is slowing wages are up, tax cuts for the middle class and seniors, DOW at record highs, tariffs will bring in 1 trillion a year and pay off the deficit in 2 years. Democrats oppose all of this and just shut down the government to get money for illegals.

Whose gullible?

Carter didn’t “create the worst recession in history”. Carter inherited a fiscal mess from the Nixon/Ford administration.

Critics of Carter will point to the twin I’s: Inflation and Iran, as reasons to lower his ranking. Both were inherited problems. Inflation was already high from the second Nixon term through Ford, a combination of removing price stability policy and oil shortages prompted by Middle Eastern anti-Israeli actions targeting the United States. Those oil price hikes which nearly tripled fuel costs were solely responsible for inflation. As for Iran, Carter was not responsible for the rise of the Shah or the overthrow of the prior Iranian regime, and it’s clear that the extremists’ goal in holding our hostages was only in hurting the U.S. President in the election, nothing more.

Contrary to the prevailing wisdom, by many indices the U.S. economy did relatively well during Carter’s presidency, and he took his role as steward of the public trust seriously. He kept the national debt in check, created no new entitlements, and steered the nation clear of expensive foreign wars. Whatever else one may think about the man, it is no exaggeration to say that Jimmy Carter was among the last of the fiscally responsible presidents.

In addition, Carter made the decision to greenlight the development of “smart” weapons which helped win the Iraq War. In addition to his B.S. degree from the Naval Academy, Carter tool nuclear engineering training while in the Navy.

Canadians have NEVER been threatened or attacked by Russia or any other nation except YOU.

Yep.

You have never been threatened by Russia.

That would change if-and-when the US and Canada ever severed ties.

You can always break-off relations and find out for yourselves.

We won't stop you.

The only nation who has ever attacked us is the USA - the War of 1812.

Yep. There have, indeed, been a couple of occasions, far back in time, where the fledgling US threatened or invaded.

And, as I recall, the US was even repulsed, in a spectacularly-failed assault against the City of Quebec.

But we and the Brits kissed and made-up long, long ago, and that extended to the Empire, and our northern neighbors.

-----

We are talking relations in modern times... the 20th and 21st centuries... not old 18th and 19th century difficulties.

A North American Union (English-speakers, anyway) would probably be a good idea... it may even be inevitable.

But a Union works best as a Coalition of the Willing... in modern times, unions that are imposed forcibly don't endure.

Thankfully.

We can attribute that to broad modern popular education and broad-ranging popular communications capabilities.

-----

We aren't coming North anytime soon... no need or real interest in it.

Although... by the look of it... your Separatists in the Western Provinces may be approaching us in the foreseeable future.

If they do they'll be welcome to discuss better relations or even a shift of allegiance... but no need to force the issue.

-----

You pose no existential threat to us.

Whereas, on the other hand, either Russia or China would gobble you up in a heartbeat, if we take-down that Shield.

The only nation to ever threaten us is YOU - Donald Trump’s 51st state bullshit.

Quite true.

But very few people here have the slightest interest in forcing the issue.

There is, indeed, some vague and distant historical friction between us; outlined above.

We told the Crown to shove it up their tailpipe.

You (collectively) are the descendants of the Royal Lickspittles who stayed loyal to the Crown for all the good it did you.

You were a conduit and sanctuary for Confederate operatives and sympathizers and draft-dodgers during our Civil War.

But that's all long, long ago... most of the population on both sides of the border aren't even AWARE of that history.

-----

Trump appears to oftentimes think-out-loud when he should be thinking quietly and to himself or his inner circle.

In truth... neither we nor you take him seriously in that context.

Time for YOU to take a history class Dumbfuck!!!

I'll put my understanding of both American and World History up against yours any time you care to press the matter.

47 will go down in U.S. the mass murderer he is. Over 500,000 Men, Women and Children died because of his inaction on COVID.

/——/ Stop lying. Trump fast tracked the vaccine when democRATs said it was impossible.

The World Health Organization and the UN fast tracked the vacccine. Trump simply wrote a cheque - like the leaders of every other western government.

Not one Democrat said it was “impossible”. That’s just total bullshit. The technology has existed for years but lacked a sufficiently large scale test for final approvals. All prior smaller group tests on humans were very successful. Covid provided that large scale test.

The vaccine was approved in multiple countries, including the UK and Germany, BEFORE it was approved in the USA.

Trump took credit but in fact did nothing but provide the funds.

Today inflation is back up over 3%, Job creation is cratering, and health care premiums are nearly tripling.

And more companies are leaving the USA than are opening plants in your country. Billions of dollars of investments are leaving the USA.

Last, but not least, nations like Japan, China, India, Great Britain, and the EU, are quietly dumping their US Treasury bonds and driving up the costs of your borrowing.

Once their buyout payments end and furloughed federal workers start being listed as “unemployed”, all of your numbers will crash.



If the US loses its status as the world’s base currency, your economy will take a huge hit economically.

Operation Warp Speed, a Trump administration initiative to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines as fast as possible, should be lauded as a successful endeavour in what has otherwise been a poor effort to deal with the coronavirus, experts say.

"No doubt, Operation Warp Speed is a huge success," said Tinglong Dai, associate professor of Operations Management and Business Analytics at Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School in Baltimore.

"You can like or hate the Trump administration, but no doubt, it's a huge success — unprecedented success."

Inflation is slowing wages are up more and tax cuts have increased spending power.
More business is coming here chased out by high cost green energy tariffs and the need to power AI. Volvo and Volkswagen are building new plants here. So are semiconductor factories. Why fossil fuels low cost reliable and can meet the demand of AI.
American equities are were all the foreign money is DOW at record highs.
The problem isnt healthcare irs the ACA which has serious flaws that need fixing. You cant just keep hiding them with more money. Illegals are now kicked off free healthcare.
A government job isnt a real job its paid for with debt based printed money. We are still stuck in many ways in Bidens economy.
Trump is transitioning it to wealth based private economy from a debt based government spending economy they caused 9% inflation and thousands of useless government workers. The more we fire the better we become

 

[Concerned American]

Volvo and Volkswagen are building new plants here.

We should keep a close eye on Volvo. While it is still headquartered in Sweden, it is a wholly owned Chinese company.
Volvo Cars is currently owned by the Chinese company Geely Holding Group, which acquired it in 2010. Despite this ownership, Volvo maintains its headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, and continues to operate as a distinct European luxury brand.

The USA doesn’t have “prosperity”. You have the highest rate of wealth and wage inequity in the free world.

Fact: The US has the #1 economy in the world

Fact: The US has the #1 healthcare in the world

Fact: The US has the #1 colleges in the world

Fact: The US has the #1 military in the world

This liberal bullshit of "when I can't deal with reality, I'll just deny reality" is done. The entire world has turned against you people because of that immature nonsense.

Stop believing the billionaire owned right wing media.

The media in the U.S. is overwhelmingly left-wing. Your track-record for being consistently wrong is shocking.

Conservatives have crashed YOUR economy 3 times on the last 45 years and you’re currently about to have your 4th economic meltdown in the last 50 years - all based onn”conservative policies” which transfer wealth from the middle and working class to the top.

Jimmy Carter was a Democrat (crashed the U.S. economy). Ronald Reagan created the most prosperous economy the world has ever seen (the 1980's are now literally known as "the era of excess").

Barack Obama was a Democrat (crashed the U.S. economy). Donald Trump created the second most prosperous economy the world has ever seen.

Again, your liberal bullshit of "when I can't deal with reality, I'll just deny reality" is done. The entire world has turned against you people because of that immature nonsense.

American “prosperity” is only for the top 10% of your citizens.

That's what Democrats desire. Which is why their failed (and ignorant) policies transfers wealth from the poorest to the wealthiest (for example: idiotic "free college" forces minimum wage workers like cashiers and waiters to spend their entire lives paying for the college education of doctors, lawyers, and CEOs - transferring wealth from the poorest to the wealthiest_

The other 90% are struggling.

In Canada? Sure. In the U.S., 75% prosper and 25% (the alcoholics, drug addicts, mentally ill liberals, lazy liberals, etc.) struggle.

70% of Americans don’t have the resources to pay for a $500 emergency.

Meanwhile, 100% of Canadians have to wait a minimum of 4 months for an emergency.

Conservatism = poverty and inequality, and death to liberals. See South America in the 1970’s and 1980’s when Milton Friedman’s “capitalism on steroids” was imposed by the IMF and the world bank as a condition of loans.

South America has NEVER recovered from the death and destruction that followed.

Venezuela was the 14th wealthiest nation in the world under capitalism. Under left-wing Hugo Chávez (and now his successor Maduro) it is in total poverty. Doctors have entered prostitution. Doctors. Educated people. The population survives off of eating stray dogs and stray cats.

You're bullshit of "deny reality when I can't deal with reality" is over. You leftists have turned the entire world against you and it's only going to get worse from here because of your pathological lying.
