When the next Great Recession hits, how will republicans respond?

Obama has been president for almost 6 years, hasn't he made our economy recession proof?

How could any president do that?

When 8 million people lost their jobs to the recession of 2008, the republican response was "find another job!" Now of course that is the ultimate goal, but what republicans were too stupid to realize is that those 8 million jobs were GONE. They didn't exist anymore. That means the large majority of those people were hopelessly unemployed for the immediate future. An immediate solution to that problem was needed. Luckily, adults were in power at the time and federal unemployment insurance was extended for those who desperately needed it. See the extension of the unemployment insurance was an emergency measure. The rightwing in their simple, childish minds thought that meant dems wanted everyone to live off the government. How could they be this stupid? Obviously it didn't turn out this way. The extension of those benefits was part of Obama's stimulus package. The stimulus of consumer spending given to these individuals created jobs in the process. From there, the massive job loss ceased and private sector job growth began and never ceased. Whew.

My point is when it comes to a national crisis like a Great Recession, a government solution is needed. Now let's pretend republicans were in control and another crisis hit. How would they respond? They would probably cut taxes for the wealthy which A) has proven to be a poor economic stimulator for the lower classes and B) would do nothing to help the growing unemployed in such an emergency.

The bottom line is you better hope and pray repubs don't control the gov in 2016.

Hey, pssst...democrats were in charge when Fannie Mae collapsed bringing the entire world economy down with it. Democrat Barney Frank was the chair(person) of the powerful "house banking committee" which had oversight responsibility for Fannie Mae and Frank told Americans that Fannie was solvent when it was in desperate trouble. The question is whether democrats nudged Fannie over the edge as the biggest October surprise in history or it was typical democrat negligence.

Yup, Dems took over in 2006 & it's been all downhill since.

If republicans were in control, how would they assist the thousands, potentially millions of people who lost their jobs against their will? What policies would they put in place?

This is a simple question gramps. Answer it.

I'd hire them to clean up the trash in our National Forests.

There'd be no unemployment, thus no need for welfare.

He's the smartest President ever, at least that's what libs were saying in 2008.

They'll rush to Fox News and blame Obama.

I'd say we Nationalize all of the Indian Casinos and put the money they make right into the general fund.

Hell, why not just kill them and steal the rest of their lands?

No we'll just wean you off of the Gov tit and make you folks work for a living.

No fuck it. We'll send them to Mexico in exchange for hard working family oriented freedom loving immigrants

Progressive don't appreciate and even hate what they have here so its time to send them packing

I think for every hard working Mexican we catch working here, we should send Mexico one chronically unemployed/unemployable American.

Mexico would then seal the border for us.

FDR had no problem sending the unemployed into the Forest Service lands to live in camps and work for a check.

Why should today be different?

Exactly! Send them a whiny You didn't build that! Manmade global warming progressive ObamaCare they'd seal the border in a second!

Um no my solution is to give them temporary relief until they can find a new job. You do realize of course one of the conditions of UI is sending in documented proof that you are actively looking for a job right?

Bullshit.
Utter bullshit.

Now answer my question, which I will put to you again.

If work and education camps were good enough for the unemployed during the Great Depression, why aren't they good enough for the unemployed today?

How could the government possibly afford to house and feed millions of people? Not only that but how could millions of people have a job to do? What you're saying is complete non sense.

Just exactly what does anyone here think either party could do if another great recession hits and millions of people lose their jobs? Despite what some like to believe there are limits to what the government can do you cant extend unemployment benefits or keep people on government assistance without end is that sad yes is it fair no but as my parents told me many times life is not always easy or fair.

We lost 8 million jobs from the previous recession.

How are you not getting this? We know what works. We got out of the last recession. We do the same thing as last time. Of course with repubs in power that won't happen.

I'm getting it very well your a blind partisan who sees everything one way and one way only if your claim was even remotely accurate we would not have seen the election results we saw Tuesday. Of course you will now blame the results on voter suppression, racism, sexism, George Bush UFO's, the lost city of Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle and any other silly excuse you can come up with.

I don't know why you are ranting about irrelevant bullshit. I don't care what dems did or didn't do years ago. That's not the point at all.

Let me simplify this: if the next Great Recession hits, how would republicans respond? How would they help the thousands that would be losing their jobs in the economic free fall?

They would hopefully do nothing and wait for the market to correct itself.
We see that what the Dems did was an abject total and complete failure.

Good answer. Market fluctuations are not government creations, and so are not government responsibilities.
