Who I'd like to see run for President

You moron.

The Great Depression was world wide and affected most countries. Just about every other country got over it in a couple of years but it lingered on in the US due to the stupid Leftest policies of FDR. A complete failure.

Some of the countries not only got over it but was able to expand their economies. Not FDR's America.

You are an idiot and prove it most of the time you post your dribble.

Nobody will take you seriously.
Laissez-Faire Is As Useless As a Lazy Fairy

The New Deal unleashed the economic productivity of the common man. That wealth not only achieved victory in World War II, it also kept Great Britain from losing and forcing us to get into the war much sooner. And it kept the prosperity going until the Kennedy Administration HeirHeads once again shackled true Americans through a perversion of the New Deal.
 
Mr. Schmidt, America needs YOU to run for president.

Upon the body politic, a peculiar figure emerges, one Mr. Steve Schmidt. A gentleman of moderate persuasion, leaning ever so slightly to the right, he finds himself estranged from his former party, the GOP. The transformation of the Republican Party under the influence of Mr. Trump has left Schmidt, and many a like-minded soul, bereft of their political home.

In these trying times, Mr. Schmidt has allied himself with the Lincoln Project, an endeavor that seeks to champion the cause of those running against the Trumpian politicians of our era, oftentimes the Democrats. It is a testament to the integrity of the man that he respects greatness, regardless of political stripe.

Our esteemed Mr. Schmidt, in his commentary on President Roosevelt, extols the virtues of a leader who, alongside the revered Lincoln, stands among the paragons of the presidential office. One cannot help but appreciate the elevated tone and high-mindedness with which Schmidt approaches the subject, offering a stark contrast to the incessant petulant whining that has become synonymous with that of Donald Trump.

Alas, the landscape of American politics needs men like Mr. Schmidt, who carry with them the dignity and gravitas of bygone days. Yet, one cannot help but dream of a day when a figure such as he would grace the stage of presidential contention, restoring a sense of decorum to the office and championing the cause of greatness, irrespective of party lines.

Let Mr. Schmidt go to Washington!


Transcript from the video (below):

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States of America, died 78 years ago today on April 12, 1945. The occasion of his death is worth remembering because, alongside Lincoln, he is America's greatest president. His life was an epic one, and his legacy is a clear one. He saved free market capitalism, American democracy, and world civilization from fascism.

Franklin Roosevelt is the architect of the world that we live in today. He was the visionary who saw past the colonial era, and he was the person who saw the collective security arrangements of organizations like NATO that have helped prevent World War III. He was in favor of globalized free trade and was a champion of freedom, human rights, and human dignity. The United Nations was his idea, and the Declaration of Human Rights was his idea.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was unequal in the history of the United States as a political genius. He was 51 years old when he took office in 1933, with the country in a state of profound economic crisis. America's banking system was at the edge of failure, and there was panic in the air. And what did this man, who faced down polio from a wheelchair, say? He said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

It's worth thinking about that as we ponder the value of fear as the fuel and currency of the extremist movement that we thought was vanquished in this country a long time ago, but it wasn't, and an ember still burned. Franklin Roosevelt saw the danger building in Europe in the 1930s; he understood that America would be drawn into the war, and he understood how essential it was for the United States to be prepared.

Between his election in 1932 and his death in April 1945, the United States was transformed. By the end of his life, it had become the most powerful nation in world history. He was the architect of the world that we live in. He was the foundational visionary who saw America as the indispensable nation. The world Franklin Roosevelt envisioned has reached the end of its long life, and Franklin Roosevelt knew that day would come. We have come to the end of that long era and are at the hinge of history where a new one rises.

There are profound lessons from the life of Franklin Roosevelt and his unique political genius for our dangerous and troubled era. He was a man of conviction, politics. He was controversial. He was courageous, he was principled. He was a singular figure in the history of this country, he was simply known in those days as "the president." Winston Churchill, when he died, aptly described him as a "great champion of freedom." What a legacy to have.

As we think about the smallness of American politics today, it makes us nostalgic for figures like Franklin Roosevelt. But Franklin Roosevelt was unique because he was an American who suffered, who persevered, and overcame. All around us are examples of goodness, decency, and genius. We need them to find their way to American politics again. We need leaders of the caliber of Franklin Roosevelt. We need leaders who have the courage to say in a world filled with fear, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."








Yeah, it figures you would like a douchebag, pedophile, authoritarian asshat.
 
Incompetent rebuttal; ad homs, weasel words, lack sufficient coherence to merit a proper response.



Since your link is a scholarly treatise, that warrants an educated response:

The text presents a detailed argument that attributes the prolonged recovery from the Great Depression to the policies implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, specifically the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA). While the research conducted by Cole and Ohanian offers an alternative perspective on the impact of the New Deal, it is important to consider some potential limitations and counterarguments.

  1. Focusing solely on NIRA might overlook the broader context of the New Deal and its numerous other policies. This research seems to emphasize the negative consequences of one specific policy, while neglecting the positive impact of other programs, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Social Security Act, and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the New Deal's impact on the Great Depression, it is crucial to consider the collective effect of these policies.
  2. The counterfactual scenario, in which the Depression would have ended in 1936 without the policies, is a hypothetical construct. While it is valuable to consider alternative scenarios, the conclusions drawn from these hypotheticals should be treated with caution. Economic conditions and events during the 1930s were complex, and it is difficult to accurately predict the trajectory of the Depression without the New Deal policies.
  3. The role of external factors, such as global economic conditions, should also be considered. The Great Depression was not an isolated American phenomenon but a worldwide economic crisis. Factors such as the gold standard, international trade policies, and the economic situation in Europe all played a role in prolonging the Depression. Focusing solely on domestic policies might not provide a complete picture of the forces at play during the 1930s.
  4. The argument that wages and prices remained artificially high due to NIRA and its labor provisions may be oversimplified. While it is true that higher wages and prices can contribute to reduced demand and slower economic growth, other factors might have also played a role in keeping these figures elevated. For example, the impact of deflation during the early years of the Depression could have influenced the behavior of both consumers and businesses.
In conclusion, while Cole and Ohanian's research offers an interesting perspective on the impact of the New Deal policies on the Great Depression, it is crucial to consider the broader context and limitations of their argument. A comprehensive evaluation of the period would take into account the complexity of the economic conditions, the variety of policies implemented under the New Deal, and the influence of external factors on the recovery process.

The singular point is that their views are a work product which are worthy of installing on the shelves in libraries of the world, their study is a treatise will accompany the many books on the subject, and, it is, by no means, conclusive and the final word on the subject.

Thank you for your contribution, and if you an manage avoiding ad homs, weasel/rant words, we can continue to forward the debate in a constructive fashion. If not, let me know and I will put you on ignore.


Cheers,

If figures you would love FDR, the only president to actually place Americans in concentration camps.

Fuck off, fascist.
 
Laissez-Faire Is As Useless As a Lazy Fairy

The New Deal unleashed the economic productivity of the common man. That wealth not only achieved victory in World War II, it also kept Great Britain from losing and forcing us to get into the war much sooner. And it kept the prosperity going until the Kennedy Administration HeirHeads once again shackled true Americans through a perversion of the New Deal.
It also extended the Great Depression in the US seven years longer than it should have been. Go read the link I provided earlier.

The Euopeans got out of the Depression long before the US and had their military buildup a decade earlier than the US.

FDR was a piece of shit, which is typical for Democrat Presidents.

His economic policies were a disaster for the US.

He sent hundreds of thousands Americans to concentration camps.

He sent the bulk of the American military to fight for his Eurotrash buddies when it was the Japs that attacked us.

He sold out his country to the Russians, which eventually led to the Cold War.
 
Specious logic. We're a much bigger economy, and bore the brunt of the price of the depression because it started here. The fact that you cannot grasp this is testament to your parochial point of view.

Your statement is a historically inaccurate and a simplistic (as in a simpleton's) view of the Great Depression and the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR).

Firstly, it is true that the Great Depression was a global economic crisis that affected many countries around the world. However, the idea that "just about every other country got over it in a couple of years" is not entirely accurate. While some countries did experience a faster recovery than others, the Great Depression lasted for many years and had a profound and lasting impact on the world economy.

Secondly, the assertion that FDR's policies were "stupid Leftist policies" is a subjective and politically charged view that is not supported by historical evidence. FDR's New Deal policies, which included measures such as the establishment of social security, the creation of jobs through public works programs, and the regulation of financial markets, helped to stabilize the US economy and provided relief for millions of Americans during a time of great hardship. While there is debate among historians about the effectiveness of certain aspects of the New Deal, the idea that it was a complete failure is not supported by the facts.

In summary, the Great Depression was a complex global crisis that had long-lasting effects on the world economy. While some countries did experience a faster recovery than others, it is inaccurate to suggest that the US was the only country to struggle with the effects of the Great Depression. Similarly, while there is debate about the effectiveness of FDR's policies, it is not accurate to characterize them as "stupid Leftist policies" or a complete failure.

No one will take you seriously, your puerile prose and lack of a scholarly approach to a subject that requires it is incontrovertible, inescapable, immutable, irrefutable evidence of your mental midgetry.

I have no choice, therefore, to put you on ignore. Now pester someone else
Go read the link I proved earlier Moon Bat. Economist from UCLA did a very extensive analysis of the damage done by FDR's big government policies.

Stop being a dumbass and educate yourself for a change.


“President Roosevelt believed that excessive competition was responsible for the Depression by reducing prices and wages, and by extension reducing employment and demand for goods and services,” said Cole, also a UCLA professor of economics. “So he came up with a recovery package that would be unimaginable today, allowing businesses in every industry to collude without the threat of antitrust prosecution and workers to demand salaries about 25 percent above where they ought to have been, given market forces. The economy was poised for a beautiful recovery, but that recovery was stalled by these misguided policies.”

Yet another deflection from the atrocities of the Biden administration. I have finally realized you must work on Biden's spin team in charge of political discussion boards, changing the subject from what Americans face every day.

Well, I"ve seen a ton of falsehoods regarding Biden, but of course, you must work for Trump's spin team, etc., etc., etc.,

I could post a list of the many reasons Trump is a threat to national security, but you, like so many like you and your ilk, will just ignore them. It has been said that ignorance is bliss, and you are one helluva happy fella.

Steve Schmidt is a made-for-tv talking head on MSNBC

Which is perhaps THE most partisan leftwing channel outside of Democracy Now
 
Is this the same Putin funded, pedophile run Lincoln Project we heard so much about during the Trump years?

Weaver was cast out, upon learning of his sexually tainted inappropriate texts to young males. As long as one does the right thing, there is no shame.

"The Lincoln Project believes the members of our movement and the victims of John Weaver's despicable and deceptive behavior are owed the facts, and you will have them," the Lincoln Project said in a statement. "John Weaver betrayed all of us and you deserve the facts presented independently through a transparent process."

As for "Putin funded' now you have lost credibility. Rick Wilson is an admitted attack dog when it comes to fighting
his enemies, he's a take no prisoners kind of guy, like Trump is (and you have no problem when Trump does it) and he has a lot of them in Trumplandia, so I don't take their attacks with more than a grain of salt.

"I hate him passionately" ---Tucker Carlson wrote of Trump, but kissed his butt on TV.

You seem be protecting yourself onto me

I didnt mention Fox, but you immidiately jumped to the conclusion that I not only watch it constantly but form all my opinions based on Fox

Is that the situation with you and MSNBC?
 
Take your med, Biden Loon
