So, how many leftists will admit socialism failed Venezuela?

Boo hoo boo hoo Now we have the greatest threat to the American way ever seen in our WH Good work Laugh while your king says he can do anything he wants
You don't understand, nothing could hurt the country more than what this animal named Trump is doing. Anything, yes, ANYTHING is better.
And he's doing a great job of threatening "the American way," Comrades. It's just fucking awful ... for bitter commie BITCHES like you:

Job Growth Underscores Economy’s Vigor; Unemployment at Half-Century Low

A nicely and sustainably expanding economy (which has raised all ships) with low inflation.

Historically low unemployment (especially amongst our minorities) with rising wages and disposable income.

A strong dollar and investment markets.

A righting of what had been a listing (left) USSC.

Repeated exposure of our self-serving swamp and the nefarious players within it, including but not limited to our MSM/DNC and high-ranking mutts at both our DOJ & FBI.

No wonder you bitter, bitter leftards are so hysterical. Anything good for America and Americans you consider to be bad.


Thank you Mr Prez and MAGA, baby!! :D
As your ilk was want to do under Obama No mater how high employment and our markets rose ,no matter how low our unemployment sunk you bashed the hell out of him And you still can't give him a little credit for handing over a good economy to the AH in our WH now
Up until Obamacare I thought he was a pretty good POTUS and am still proud that so many Americans could look beyond his skin tone and vote for him. That said, there was indeed far too much racism in the criticism he and his fam took.

The point you assiduously avoided is that you bitter leftards would much rather the US crash & burn than succeed & prosper with Trump as POTUS.

In my book that makes you traitors … every one of you.
I am willing to enjoy our continued economic strength
But am unwilling to accept the claim that the economy sucked under Obama and was rescued by Trump. The numbers look the same to me

I am concerned about the long term affects of the Trump trade wars
 
Socialism fails when it dominates over Capitalism. Socialism necessarily kills off the Middle Class. Socialism locks in a true 1 percent elite while the rest are simply , “ the masses.”
where do you guys get your propaganda and rhetoric? socialism fails because it requires social morals for free not a capital profit motive.

raising the minimum wage and health care reform can help the least wealthy afford our first world economy.

Market-driven high wages and healthcare reform help the least wealthy. Arbitrary and artificial mandates by way of Socialism causes failure. My propaganda is rooted in Econ 101 and historical analysis. And your propaganda is “social morality”? Who or what is the authority on that?

Being Least wealthy currently in the US means rent, food, healthcare, cell phones, big screen TVs, premium tv service? Where else - what socialist country - would the Least wealthy rather be?

Capitalism works better than Socialism.

As am I. Obama was handed an economic shit-sandwich and was smart enough to get out of our way and allow Americans to do what we do best … succeed & prosper. That this historically long economic expansion has continued under Trump is nothing short of remarkable and it has broadened to include as wide a swath of Americans as I've seen in my lifetime. As advertised, the rising tide surely has raised all ships.

Say what you will about his persona, his hair, his skin tone, his whatever … we have done well in Trump's 2.5 years as POTUS and from what I've heard from the Democrat Socialist Party Clown Car, they would undo it because - like you - they hate him far more than they love this country.

Yeah, he was given an economic shit sandwich, but let us make a few things clear about why.

First of all clinton rewrote the Community Reinvestment Act which put significant pressure on banks to lend to low income neighborhoods. Look that up. Mac, the moron thinks that had very little effect.

Clinton also passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act which exempted default swaps from regulation. He did that btw in December of 2000, which was one of his last actions as president. Wonder why he did that on his way out?

Also, who headed up the Fannie and Freddie debacle? That was pole smoking moron Barney Frank and Dodd. Both democrats.

The economy was actually fairly strong until the end of 2006. Unemployment was down and the dow was pretty high and considering 5 years after the 911 attack and total destruction of the economic heart of America qnd and the world, rather interesting.

Then.....the democrats took over after the media propaganda convinced all of us that things were horrific with the economy and as the left cried that Boooosh enforced the Iraq Liberation Act for wmds that clinton signed before he got into office, the country was conned into voting in the party of big tax and socialism. What did the economy do from 2007 to 2010, when the party of big tax had control?

Then, the republicans took back the House in 2010, the Senate in 2014 and presidency in 2016.

Yet, they credit the skinny gay marxist and the democrats for an economic recovery?

Huh
 
left wing minimum wage raises must increase market participation.
we have a Commerce Clause; failure at diplomacy should not be an option under federal policy.
we have no provision for excuses in our federal doctrine...
socializing costs is what socialism is Good for.
Politicians understand the diversity of diversification.
A commune of Heaven on Earth may merely require Pareto Optimalities.
I could have added even more but I think the point is clear enough ... DanielP is the tragic result of the human mind that wallows in leftardism.

Not when it really really matters. Besides, Government seems to solve all problems for the right wing, not market economics.

Our Space Race and moon landing was socialism commanding capitalism to do it. The private sector is still looking for a profit motive.

Nothing but repeal has never been a solution nor have mere tax cuts for the wealthiest.

the Community Reinvestment Act which put significant pressure on banks to lend to low income neighborhoods.

The banks were not forced to make bad loans. The problem was created by non bank lenders, zero down, no income checks, bad credit okay, and adjustable rates. Combined with unscrupulous salesmen who worked on commission who sold overpriced houses to people who couldn't afford them. Along with speculators who all expected the values to keep rising. Then these mortgages were bundled into securities and passed off with an A+ rating and sold to an unsuspecting world who expected the values to just continue to rise.

So now it's the fault of real estate agents? ROFL! The fact is that government did force banks to give mortgages to people who couldn't pay them. And to make that possible, the government got into the business of buying these bad loans. By doing that the the government was implying that it would guarantee the loans that it didn't buy.

The collapse of the mortgage market could not have happened without government meddling in the mortgage market.

That was the effect on the sub prime market. Not the entire cause of the bubble but defiantly part of it. The non traditional lenders were not subject to the same ratio of debt to equity limits traditional lenders were. That's how they became so over extended and collapsed, starting the whole chain reaction.

You ignorant fuck.


FACT: The toothless 1977 regulations fully expired in July 1997, when President Clinton rewrote them to toughen CRA enforcement as part of a crusade to close the "mortgage gap" between blacks and whites.

For the first time, banks were required to show results. One of the five performance criteria in the "lending test" — the most heavily weighted component of the CRA exam — was adopting "flexible lending practices" to address the credit needs of poor borrowers in "predominantly minority neighborhoods." Banks that didn't bend their underwriting rules risked flunking the exam.

Ex-Federal Reserve Board Gov. Lawrence Lindsey, a staunch CRA defender, acknowledges that the changes "did contribute to a downgrading of credit standards."


Under Clinton's CRA "investment test," moreover, banks for the first time earned CRA credit for purchasing subprime securities. A wave of these securitizations in the secondary mortgage market and on Wall Street began in 1997, which also happened to mark the start of the housing bubble.


Other changes transformed the once-dormant act into a weapon in the hands of Acorn, Greenlining and other shakedown groups who were quick to brand banks with prudent lending requirements as "racist."

FACT: Studies show that CRA loans have higher delinquencies and defaults and act as a major drag on bank earnings. In 2008, CRA loans accounted for just 7% of Bank of America's total mortgage lending, but 29% of its losses on home loans. Also, banks with the highest CRA ratings tend to have the lowest safety and soundness ratings.

FACT: Among other things, the figure does not count the trillions of dollars in CRA "commitments" that WaMu, BofA, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Wells Fargo and other large banks pledged to radical inner-city groups like Acorn, Greenlining and Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America (NACA) after they used the public comment process to protest bank merger applications on CRA grounds.

Even your beloved nbc had to acknowledge what that did.

Kudlow: Are the Clintons the real housing crash villains?
 
I ask about Venezuela and these fuckers predictably bring up the wonderful successes of the Nordic countries. The only countries with a higher density of whites than here. What fucking racists.

That is number one. Not to mention the myth that those countries are actually the type of socialism they espouse.



You fucking ignorant leftist cocksuckers. Try changing the subject just a little more you fucking idiots.

Also, how many countries under a free market enterprise have been taken over by a tyrant? When?

This is where they will now attempt to convince us that the National Socialist Workers Party (NAZI) really was not socialism. Ever wonder why they get so insecure about that? Fucking losers.

Which country with a free market have been taken over by a dictator?

Why did staunch democrats like sean penn, oliver stone among others fully support chavez in Venezuela all to loud cheers of left wing American losers?

Why did that fat disgusting fuck michael moore, who is worth about 50 million with a giant fucking mansion thanks to this country, shit all over it while he praised cuba's style of government?

Yet you fuckers deny Venezuela socialists led to a fucking tyranny?

YOU FUCKING LOSERS. I have more joy wiping my ass than listening to or reading your funky fucking ignorant blather.

Fuck you all. My thread proves us right again. You are all fucking losers.


We don’t deny that Venezuela socialists led to the current mess. We deny that “socialism”, as a form of government, is responsible for

Another highly biased and inherently extreme right wing take on economics.

Institute of Economic Affairs - SourceWatch

You people cannot find anyone from a moderate or even a centre right group to support your biased and totally unsupported economic theories.


Socialism has never worked in all of history. Fact

Capitalism "died in 1929" and socialism has been bailing us our ever since.

the Proof is, Government solves all problems for the right wing. i agree that the US practices "gunboat" diplomacy with our larger economy and causes smaller economies to fail.


Oh so that's why Cuba and Venezuela each have economies larger than the USA
 
Do you think the che guevera worshipers are able to admit that?
It didn’t fail, they just practiced it wrong. Every state that tries it just practices it wrong, obviously. Once our socialists get into power, they will of course be the ones who do it right. If it fails it’ll just prove that they weren’t ever socialists, but actually just right wing extremists. Duh.

If it fails it must be tried again to get it right.

The real problem is that you right wingers go bat shit crazy over every country like Venezuela or Greece, where there is enough incompetence and corruption on both sides to easily explain why their economyies failed, and seize on them as examples of what happens in every socialist country, which is an out and out lie. You ignore every other economically successfuly socially democratic country in the world, including the United States. Since the 1980's when Republicans started cutting taxes for the wealthy on the backs of the working class and the middle class, and living on borrowed funds, your standing in the world in research, education, infrastructure, and medicine have fallen. Once a world leader in all of these fields, your fixation on military spending, wars, and putting it all on the credit card, are destroying your nation from within.

The United States used to have the best educated workforce in the world, the best infrastructure, the latest technology, and the best laws to protect patents and innovation in the world. It didn't hurt that after WWII, the USA had the only manufacturing capability left in the first world, with Europe in ruins. It only has the best patent protections, and most powerful and best equipped army in the world. Education, infrastructure, and guaranteed medical treatment for all have been sacrified on the alter of the Military Industrial Complex, 18 years of endless, expensive, and mostly unnecessary and unwise, wars.

You can't afford maternity leave for pregnant women, but you can afford to go to war with Iran. The war will cost more, and at the end of the day, achieve less for your people, than maternity leave will, but you'll cheer the war, and call maternity leave a communist threat.
