Educating Democrats: Economics

[NYcarbineer]

All REPs or all Conservatives backed him no matter what he did??

You are SERIOUSLY rewriting history, TDM.... there was PLENTY of conservative backlash against Bush II, ESPECIALLY on the economic side of things

You fucking idiot bitch

Bush had a 73% job approval rating, among conservatives, in December 2008.

No, the backlash was because he pandered to the morals of the religious and when they saw him indiscriminately dropping bombs on Iraq and ignoring Katrina victims they started to realize that he was a inhuman fuck, common thread in Republicans.

Of brother.... the Katrina card... a staple of the moonbat left.

Continuing my series on educating liberals, today we cover their absolute weakest point - economics. Of course, part of this weakness stems from their greed. When you're crazed out of your mind with getting your hands on other people's money, you're not likely to stop and think about what that is doing to the economy. But who knows, maybe today some young liberal will actually read the facts listed below and become the first liberal in US history to actually THINK.

• In 1968, there were 51 people employed full-time for every 1 person on disability.
  
  
• In 1997, there were 24 people employed full-time for every 1 person on disability (less than HALF than 1968)
  
  
• Today (2013), there are 13 people employed full-time for every 1 person on disability.

It is simply unsustainable. It cannot be denied. It cannot be debated. It cannot be ignored. It is unsustainable - and liberal policy of expecting the few to provide for the many (just like communist countries did) does not work. It's been tried by communists nations world wide and it has a 100% failure rate. It's more than just burdening the few. It's taking away the incentive for production, innovation, etc. When it doesn't matter how hard I work, because I'll get the same as everyone else, I stop working hard and put in the same effort as everyone else (it's just a reality that the utopian-based communist ideology refuses to take into account).

WTF does this prove? Who caused tihe 2008 financial crisis and recession? 26,000 disabled iraq and afghanistan troops, Two wars, drug program, tax cuts for the rich that they took their businesses adn ran over seas for cheap labor and tax havens tax loop holes. A $11 trillion deficit passed on to Obama. Put the blame where the blame is.

On the first reply I was going to answer. On the second reply I realized the futility of it.

Education? Of Democrats? On the growth of DI recipients?

Here's a history lesson:

The authors first take up the question of why the disability rolls have grown.

The most important factor is the liberalization of the DI screening process that occurred due to a 1984 law.

This law directed the Social Security Administration to place more weight on applicants' reported pain and discomfort, relax its screening of mental illness, consider applicants with multiple non-severe ailments, and give more credence to medical evidence provided by the applicant's doctor.

...hmmmmm...1984...which Democratic President signed that law? The law most responsible for the explosive growth in DI recipients?

Class? Anyone? Now let's not always see the same hands...

lol

The Growth in the Social Security Disability Insurance Rolls

Who wrote the law to begin with?
HR 3755 - 1984
By James Jake Pickle D TX
The Dems put in these types of programs (Disability Insurance) and Repubs are always stuck with trying to fix them.

Correction is was 10.3 Trillion, in 8 years.
Yes, that was bad enough.
Obama has added 6.4 Trillion to it in four years.

And that shows they agreed with EVERYTHING he did?? That shows that they agreed with him fiscally??

George W. Bush is the most conservative president we've had since probably Warren G. Harding—and perhaps ever. He has governed, wherever possible, fully in step with the basic conservative principles that defined Ronald Reagan's presidency and have shaped the political right for the last two generations: opposition to New Deal-style social programs; a view of civil liberties as obstacles to dispensing justice; the pursuit of low taxes, especially on businesses and the wealthy; a pro-business stance on regulation; a hawkish, militaristic, nationalistic foreign policy; and a commitment to bringing religion, and specifically Christianity, back into public policy. "Mr. Bush has a philosophy. It is conservative," wrote Peggy Noonan in 2002.

If I have said this once, I have said it a hundred times; you are a fuking idiot.

I bet you think every worker in the country has a "union" job. Right? Getting paid how much did you say? $28.00 dollars a hour plus a "Cadillac" health plan.

What the fuk are you so jealous of dog? That no one ever thought enough of your work to pay you over minimum wage? I can see how that would be. I wouldn't even hire you.

So let me get this straight - I'm advocating that liberals and their unions have created an unsustainable system, you advocate for redistribution of wealth (ie communism), but you're the big shot and I'm just "minimum wage" guy?

You know why you "wouldn't hire me"? Because you'll never be in a position that requires hiring. You're a fucking lazy parasite who wants to live off of the rest of us. And since you can't dispute one damn thing I said, all you were left with were personal insults that didn't even make sense because you don't know me and have no idea what I do or how much money I make.

Most commies hate unions.

actually unions are a basic part of communism. Commies love unions and hate freedom.

Totally false. Worker's rights and social programs is a characteristic of advanced capitalist economies. When Bismarck’s Prussia instituted compulsory health insurance in 1883, the socialist leader August Bebel consulted his friend Friedrich Engels, who insisted that socialists should vote against it, as they did. The first welfare state on earth was created against socialist opposition.

When the two Germanies united after 1990, the social provision of the capitalist West was more than twice that of the socialist East, and the cost of unification to West Germany proved vast.

 

[P@triot]

Well I guess Bush II was a Democrat then?

Man, you are making a good economic point but clouding it with senseless noise blaming it on Democrats or ghosts or Jews or whoever and making yourself look like a 1938 dumb German.

Still though it is a valid point that more folks are declared disabled....

To debate....

Folks linger on longer in old age

The young and disabled live longer now

Life just sucked back in the good ol days of A Christmas Story if you were disabled or had a disabled family member. Still though we may have gone too far

Do ya have any information on what gets you declared disabled now vs 30 years ago? Something to indicate maybe an xx% loss of this or that was required in the past but only an x% is required now?

Bush II was certainly a liberal. He expanded government (Homeland Security), pissed all over the Constitution (the Patriot Act), and spent like a drunk'n sailor (added over $4 trillion to the national debt). If only he had "Democrat" after his name, the idiot liberals on USMB would be worshipping and fellating him 24x7 instead of demonizing him.

He Is and forever will be all yours buddy.

Its your party who backed him no matter what he did.


When YOUR party makes a mess of the world YOUR party gets the blame.


You dont get to call your failures someone elses failure.


YOU OWN BUSH

Sorry, liberal policy IS liberal policy - no matter how much you want to deny it. And for the record, for all of his faults (and God knows there were plenty of them), one thing he did NOT do is make a "mess" of the world. Liberal policy did that as well. You're just pissed off that people are starting to acknowledge that FACT.

It's YOUR liberal ideology that likes to expand government (like Bush did). It's YOUR liberal ideology that likes to spend uncontrollably (like Bush did). And it's YOUR liberal ideology that likes to piss all over the Constitution (like Bush did).

Sorry, Bush was just another Republican liberal. The problem is, the Dumbocrat party has been hijacked by such radicals, liberal is now "evil" and only communism/socialism/marxism is accepted (hence their love for Obama).

LMAO! George Bush was more conservative than Ronald Reagan? Really?

Sweetie, if you need someone to explain this to you, then you really need to leave the room and allow the adults to talk.

By the way, when Obama took office, he inherited a $9+ trillion deficit - not $11 you moron. Now, he has ballooned that up to $16+ trillion. Yep, 230 + years to accumulate $9 trillion in debt and it only took radical marxist Obama 4 years to nearly match that with $7 trillion.

You are completely and totally lying through your ass (the fundamental characteristic of the radical idiot liberal). To call "social programs" a "characteristic" of capitalist economies is so absurd, it defies belief that someone would actually try to make that case.

Social anything is the cornerstone of communism. It's what communism is built on you you dumb fuck. That everyone will put into that same pot and that the pot will then be distributed "evenly" (which we know never happens as the ruling elite lives like kings while the rest live in poverty).

The entire concept of a union is nothing more than privatized communism you fuck'n moron.

What!?!? You think the deficit was ZERO when GWB took over? He did NOT add $10 trillion to the debt. When he took over, it stood at $5 trillion. When he left, it was over 9$ trillion. Obama has added $7+ trillion in only 4 years.
