Bernie Sanders does not understand economics

[Arianrhod]

For a candidate who "doesn't have a chance," he sure is striking fear in the hearts of those who are fixated on the word "socialist" without understanding what it means...

Commenting on how ridiculous his statements and proposals are isn't "fear"; it's just being observant.

But when asked to observe what it is in his 30-year tenure in Congress that indicates an ignorance of economics, y'all scream "SOCIALISM!!!11" and run away.

Yeah, THAT'S what's happening when people comment on his statements and policies right now, and you ignore them and say, "What did he do years ago that proves you right?": we're running away from your frightening brilliance and incisiveness, because we just CANNOT defeat you!

Or we're just dismissing you as a pusbag, like everyone else in your life ever has. Contemplate that very real possibility.

Bernie Boy is running for President NOW. He is making statements and proposing policies NOW. Thus, we are talking about NOW. Join us in the glorious present that is NOW.

And y'all are obsessing about a tweet.

At least you have the excuse of thinking that after 30+ years of defining himself as a socialist he's suddenly going to effect a radical shift of policy into...what, exactly? You don't know, so you can't say.

But at least there's about 10 seconds' more thought involved in your case than in the rest of your crowd:

Well, I thank you for verifying that you haven't read a word anyone has said about Bernie Boy, if you really think all anyone is talking about is one tweet.

Y'all have started from a false premise and spun a whole lot of confirmation bias. There's no rule that says I need to take that seriously.

When one of you can say "Here's a piece of legislation he voted on that proves he doesn't understand economics for the following reasons," you'll have the attention you feel you deserve.

So promoting massive spending growths without a way to pay for it doesn't matter? Without some natural resource funding it, socialism doesn't work. Bernie lives in a dream world.

Why do you think his voting record is indicative of his understanding of economics, rather than opinion pieces he's written? iow you're trying to set standards you know can't be met.

You made the claim that Bush was to blame for the recession in 2001.
It started in March. So what did he do between Jan 20, 2001 and March 2001 to cause a recession?

Ignored warnings from the CIA that terrorist attack

And that caused a recession starting in March 2001?

abandoned fiscal responsibility to give tax cuts to his rich buddies

When did he get the tax cuts passed? How did his tax cuts cause a recession?

Are you fucking retarded and don't understand that recessions are ongoing events? Take out 9/11 and ballooning the deficit to 400 BILLION, and the recession of 2001 wouldn't have been a blip on the screen

But you are fucking retarded, so there's really no point explaining this to you, Chippy.

recessions are ongoing events

You claimed that Bush caused it. Your continued failure to prove it is very clear.

Take out 9/11 and

Bush caused the March 2001 recession because 9/11?

ballooning the deficit to 400 BILLION, and the recession of 2001 wouldn't have been a blip on the screen

Increasing the deficit caused the recession? How does that work?

See what happens when you corner Joe is he becomes increasingly irrational.
So Bush's deficit increase, which of course didnt happen until 2002, caused the recession in 2001. Obama's massive deficit increase, otoh, saved the country from another Depression.
When called on this he will respond that recessions were caused by Reagan's economic policies and "trickle down" economics. Even though he doesnt know what trickle down economics is or that virtually all of Reagan's polciies were reversed by successors.

I was going to wait until his next nonsensical response to point out that contradiction.

Explain it to us.

How did Bush cause the 2001 recession? What exactly did Bush do in the 40 days after he was sworn in that caused the recession? Tell us what you know that economists don't.

I guess Bernie is wrong and we should go back to W.Bush economics right? Lol repubs are HUGE spenders no thanks.

Why do you think his voting record is indicative of his understanding of economics, rather than opinion pieces he's written? iow you're trying to set standards you know can't be met.

Exactly. Because y'all can't point to a single piece of legislation that shows "socialist" intention, action, or impact. You believe certain words are magic, and that because you repeat the word "socialism" it will become the pejorative you want it to be.

You probably believe that the Berlin Wall fell just because the Great God Ronnie ordered it to.

Actions speak louder than words.

Are you suggesting he never voted for Democrat policies?

 

[WheelieAddict]

Lets look at the last republican in office and compare him to the last democrats in office. That repub spent like its going out of style. Do not fall for their "fiscally responsible" bs.

And the worst is republicans have the congress and senate. They will rubber stamp as much money as they want like with W. Lets keep some fiscal sanity here.
