Yeah he fell for the "free market" crap you people still preach. Now that the chickens are coming home to roost for the outsourcing crowd I have no sympathy.The stock market is crashing because they are heavily invested in China, serves them right for putting their faith in a house of cards like that. Meanwhile the renewable energy sector is doing well compared to investing in cheap Chinese goods.Quit acting as if a republican would have tried to stand in the way of Fed policy. Also you should note that the green energy program you speak of has actually earned a profit in spite of some bad bets. How much money do you think a republican would have thrown down the hole to prop up Big Coal as they continue to lose market share to gas and alternatives?Trump wants to take your hard earned cash and give it to billionaires to create jobs they somehow forgot to create the last time we gifted them with tax cuts and subsidies.
That's exactly what Obama did. Obviously you never heard about the two dozen bogus "green energy" companies that got billions of dollars of taxpayer money, and then went bankrupt and kept the money. How many private-sector jobs did Obama's stimulus packages and bailouts create with your tax money? And in case you haven't noticed what's happened the last eight years, Obama's Federal Reserve and their Quantitative Easing has made a shitload of rich people richer on Wall Street. You really need to wake the fuck up and start using your head for something besides a hat rack.
Do you have a television set? Obviously you have internet so you must be aware of what the stock market is doing right now. Do you seriously think this would be happening under a Republican-appointed FED?
That being said, I'll say this too: Green energy is crap. It's a scam. You don't get out more of what you put in and nothing will ever replace oil, gas, and coal. It accounts for only a fraction of the combined energy throughout the world and some countries are even dropping it like a hot potato. You can toot around in your little fairy-mobile but I'll be the one one honking at your ass to pull that piece of crap off the road so I can pass.
Yet another unintended consequence of liberalism. Just who do you think it was that opened up business with China and gave them "preferred status"?
Bill Clinton.
