How the Republican Government shutdown works

It is true

republicans no longer know how to legislate. They are so bullied by the rightwing media and extreme right that they are afraid to do anything

Doing nothing is preferred to having to deal with the Democrats to reach an agreement

Republicans only know how to Bitch, Whine, Moan and Complain.

The last original idea the Republicans had died from lonelyness.

What the Republicans lack in intellectual honesty they more than make up for with their distinct lack original thought.

Fiscal responsibility isn't exactly an "original" thought!

When have Republicans ever shown fiscal responsibility?

When they started two wars and cut taxes to pay for it?

So tell what's worse...spending a whole bunch of money to destroy the Taliban in Afghanistan and rid Iraq of a sadistic sociopath like Saddam Hussein?

Or spending a whole bunch of money while handing over control of much of the Middle East to ISIS and failing to get rid of a sadistic sociopath like Assad?

What's worse...successfully spending a whole bunch of money on stimulus and TARP programs that kept the banks from going under and our economy from cratering?

Or spending a whole bunch of money on a stimulus program that was supposed to create "shovel ready" jobs but didn't?

Trust me, I wasn't happy with the way George W. Bush spent taxpayers money...but at least we got something back from all that money he was spending! With Barry we spend far more money and get far less in return. The Barack Obama Administration is the perfect storm of ineptitude, sheer ignorance and total naivete.

At a cost of 7000 American lives and $3 trillion in tax dollars, it was not a better idea to topple the existing dictatorships, create civil wars and create a power vacuum that allowed Iran and ISIS to emerge as regional powers

And yes, I would rather spend money to stimulate the American economy and create jobs for Americans than nation build half way around the world

I hate to point out the inconvenient but ISIS didn't "emerge" as a regional power until Obama failed to act in Syria (red line anyone?) and then prematurely pulled our troops out of Iraq. Sorry that that cluster fuck is on Barry and nobody else!

Too bad the Obama stimulus didn't create jobs...just saying...
 
Civil servants rescued nothing. They were responsible for the crisis and then stole taxpayer money to bailout private industry.

The companies iin trouble should have been allowed to fail, consolidate and recover through normal business operations, not sustained because of abysmal and in certain cases criminal activity.
But hey, civil servants need to seem to be doing something important.

We saw what happens when you let the Conservative ideal of an unrestricted free market to take hold. Speculation, shoddy financing, insider trading
Created a nice bubble that brought down the worlds economy when it burst

It was the civil servants who put together a rescue package

Dude, it was the "civil servants" that forced the banks to make loans that never would have been made years ago and for good reason! It wasn't an unrestricted free market that created the real estate bubble. It was government interference.
 
Top for clueless govt "regulators"....

No mortgages without 20% down, verifiable income, good credit , and stable employment.

Got that dept of housing and urban developement, naacp, cra apologists, rating agencies and other mindless bureaucrats ?

No actually the unions broke the auto industry. You can't pay people pensions for life, on the back of others for life. The welfare system is also proving that. Neither one of them are conservative ideas.

Actually, bad management broke the auto industry.
Poor investment in new technology, poor designs, not understanding the global market

The unions fought to maintain the same wages and benefit structure
 
Bubba, I care YOU made a posit you've been unable to back up when the GOP shutdown Gov't!

Exactly, you want to bicker over something you don't give a shit about. You admit it makes no difference to you, so why do I want to debate it? For what purpose? You don't even care, you agree you don't care. Homey don't play that game. But for a debate that does matter to you, as long as it matters to me too, you know where to go. Peace out, Holmes


Got it, No you can't back up your posit, again. Thanks anyways Bubba,

:dance:

No, as always, you don't got it. You confirmed you don't give a shit, it makes no difference to you. You like to bicker. I get tired of bickering with you idiots. If you decide you care let me know. Otherwise stay at the kiddie table and bicker with the other kiddies to your heart's content


Your projection noted Bubs
 
Being Republicans they do not know how.

Worse? You mean you can't just pay for the wars versus GUTTING tax revenues ass you go to them, like Dubya/GOP?

Dubya's tax curs $3 trillion 2001-2011 NET ZERO PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS UNDER DUBYA

Dubya's WAR OF CHOICE. $2 TRILLION

What did we get for $5 trillion?

Name the law REQUIRING THE FIVE INVESTMENT BANKS TO JUMP INTO DUBYA'S SUBPRIME BUBBLE? Oops

ALL no longer investment banks, 3 are gone, lol
 
We only needed more "regulators"....

Lol



Every credible study says the regulators there, DUBYA'S EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND AYN RAND GREENSPAN, say YES WE NEEDED BETTER REGULATORS!


A long-time cheerleader for deregulation, Greenspan admitted to a congressional committee yesterday that he had been "partially wrong" in his hands-off approach towards the banking industry and that the credit crunch had left him in a state of shocked disbelief. "I have found a flaw," said Greenspan, referring to his economic philosophy. "I don't know how significant or permanent it is. But I have been very distressed by that fact."


"I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organisations, specifically banks and others, were such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms,
" said Greenspan.

Greenspan - I was wrong about the economy. Sort of
 
First, congressional conservatives, mostly in the House but sometimes with the assistance of a senator or two (especially Ted Cruz), find something they're really mad about and threaten to do something drastic.

The conservatives say unless they get what they want, they'll withhold their support for the next CR that will keep the government operating.

Their leaders, understanding the history of government shutdowns, tell them that it really won't accomplish anything and will only hurt Republican goals.

The insurgent conservatives get lots of support from right-wing talk radio, telling them to stand up for principle and stick it to all those Washington insiders.

Eventually, the CR passes, usually with the support of Democrats. The conservatives say that their leaders have betrayed them.


How the upcoming government shutdown fight will help Donald Trump

Rinse, repeat

Liberals believe it is never okay to oppose funding for anything...unless it's something conservative

Liberals believe it is never okay to defund any liberal program or action...not even the barbaric murder, dismemberment, and selling off of part of babies capable of surviving outside the womb.

Liberals make it a policy of 'blaming' and villainizing the GOP for standing up against bad spending bills/programs, even the ones the majority of Americans want defunded. They have realized that the GOP are gutless cowards only concerned with maintaining their status quo - keeping their jobs, money, power, and status....who will cast show votes' in opposition to liberal programs, like the ACA, but who -when the time comes when it really matters - will vote to fund the programs anyway.


Hi, pot.

WORLD WIDE CREDIT BUBBLE AND BUST?

DOZENS OF NATIONS?

Jun 16th 2005

The worldwide rise in house prices is the biggest bubble in history. Prepare for the economic pain when it pops

NEVER before have real house prices risen so fast, for so long, in so many countries. Property markets have been frothing from America, Britain and Australia to France, Spain and China. Rising property prices helped to prop up the world economy after the stockmarket bubble burst in 2000. What if the housing boom now turns to bust?

According to estimates by The Economist, the total value of residential property in developed economies rose by more than $30 trillion over the past five years, to over $70 trillion, an increase equivalent to 100% of those countries' combined GDPs. Not only does this dwarf any previous house-price boom, it is larger than the global stockmarket bubble in the late 1990s (an increase over five years of 80% of GDP) or America's stockmarket bubble in the late 1920s (55% of GDP). In other words, it looks like the biggest bubble in history.

Examining the big lie: How the facts of the economic crisis stack up



Here are key things we know based on data. Together, they present a series of tough hurdles for the big lie proponents.

•The boom and bust was global. Proponents of the Big Lie ignore the worldwide nature of the housing boom and bust.

>

The housing boom and bust was global — Source: McKinsey Quarterly
>

A McKinsey Global Institute report noted “from 2000 through 2007, a remarkable run-up in global home prices occurred.”


•Nonbank mortgage underwriting exploded from 2001 to 2007, along with the private label securitization market, which eclipsed Fannie and Freddie during the boom.


•Private lenders not subject to congressional regulations collapsed lending standards.
Taking up that extra share were nonbanks selling mortgages elsewhere, not to the GSEs. Conforming mortgages had rules that were less profitable than the newfangled loans. Private securitizers — competitors of Fannie and Freddie — grew from 10 percent of the market in 2002 to nearly 40 percent in 2006. As a percentage of all mortgage-backed securities, private securitization grew from 23 percent in 2003 to 56 percent in 2006


These firms had business models that could be called “Lend-in-order-to-sell-to-Wall-Street-securitizers.” They offered all manner of nontraditional mortgages — the 2/28 adjustable rate mortgages, piggy-back loans, negative amortization loans. These defaulted in huge numbers, far more than the regulated mortgage writers did.

NOT LIKE THE TRUTH WILL STOP THE RIGHT WING LIES!


 
Its strange....the Republicans control Congress now and the only tool they have in their toolbox is the threat of shutting down government

Then they are outraged when services are not available.
"What do you mean the park is closed?"
The president gets to choose what park gets closed. Kinda like Obama choose to close a ww2 memorial to veterans and choose to reopen it for an illegal immigrant rally.

No he doesn't

Each agency must provide a list of those jobs and functions deemed essential and those deemed non-essential
Surprisingly....Parks have been identified as a "non-essential" government function
Why didn't Clinton close it when the government shut down during his presidency?

That was a good one....Gingrich shut down government because he had to ride in the back of Airforce One

Why, out of all government functions, are Republicans only concerned about parks?
Obama went out of his way to make the average american suffer, because he is an immature little brat. That's why.


Yeah, you nutbags have your priorities straight, alright....
 
Top for clueless govt "regulators"....

No mortgages without 20% down, verifiable income, good credit , and stable employment.

Got that dept of housing and urban developement, naacp, cra apologists, rating agencies and other mindless bureaucrats ?

Rating agencies were PRIVATE MARKETS DUMBASS. The problem was they were paid by the Banksters to rate their junk, AFTER THE BANKSTERS IGNORED UNDERWRITING STANDARDS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLE BUNDLED AND SOLD OFF THE LOANS!!

VA loans (zero down) CONSISTENTLY outperform most segments. Gov't BACKED loans (regardless of % down) performed 450% to 600% better than those "private markets", lol

Closing parks is suffering?
How about delaying medical claims, retiree benefits or closing counselling centers?
All unnecessary government jobs are cut. Guess who picks what's unnecessary? Obama thought it was necessary to put guards up at the ww2 war memorial to keep veterans away from it.

Security is identified as an essential function. Opening the parks is not
There is no need for security at the ww2 monument. Obama hates our veterans and this proved how much.


Ah yes, the "Obama is curb-stomping veterans" bit.

That went over really well, didn't it?

:D
 
0 percent down, getting evicted, but you "own" the home....
How could foreclosures be soooooo
MEAN !!!!!!!!
