The Democrat war on work, what's their end game?

[Toro]

To be blunt and straight to the point, Democrats are economically inept to the point of insanity. They wish they understood it, so they parade around as though they do. The results are that they essentially turn the discipline on its head in order to justify their feelings of a society where no one has to work, ownership is best when it's by everyone instead of an individual and that money is the result of the state spending, not private industry.

So they flail around, change definitions, make shit up and general run afoul what otherwise works just fine without intervention.

Last FOUR recessions happened on Republican watches...

I think it's hard for you guys to make the argument you know what you are doing.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.

However, the one under Reagan didn't have anything to do with Reagan, and the first recession under W had nothing to do with him.

Also, recessions used to happen every 4-5 years prior to the 80s. Afterwards, they happened every 8-10 years. So if we use that line of thinking, Republicans can argue that recessions happened less under them than in the past.

Where the hell did I say that? Newsflash. I didn't.



And which pre-existing conditions prevent someone from getting a health insurance policy under the ACA? Be specific.

Preexisting conditions didnt prevent you from getting insurance. They were just excluded in the policy.

You knuckleheads confuse healthcare and insurance. You're under the illusion that insurance is a right.

Well, it's either insurance or the emergency room at up to hundreds the times the cost of preemptive health care. The tax payers pay for the emergency room. Not very fiscal.

No dumb ass, it's not insurance or the emergency room. It's insurance and the emergency room.

Some of these shitty jobs should be done by robots....Food production should also be done this way and people making less then 100k per year should get food stamps.

We're not in the 19th century anymore....We don't have to rely on that model of doing things.

Ok, now I know you're fucking nuts. 100k & food stamps?

Many many Americans are strugling to make ends meet and in fact millions still can't find sustainable employment. Yet here come the democrats celebrating the fact that work isn't that important.
I refuse to believe that most Americans would rather live a subsidized life than to persue their own dreams.
I believe the sudden belief by democrats that work is a ball and chain is their irrational defense of obamacare and the fact that they now realize it is killing jobs. So rather than rectify the problem they rationalize that work isn't really that important.

Are dems digging themselves a hole that will take decades to recover from or has American become so complacent that this will be excused?

the end game is total dependency on the government handouts for the masses and the elite, which they consider themselves, ruling the masses. No dissent allowed.

the typical leftard socialist bonanza.

Proof that the economy works in cycles.

Actually, it had everything to do with Reagan. Reagan decided that continuing Carter's policy of using unemployment to bring inflation down was a nifty idea.

And Dubya completely owns the 2001 recession.

That's not a serious comment. The recession under Reagan's first term happened when Paul Volcker was head of the FOMC in 81-82. Volcker was appointed by Carter in 1979 with a mandate to break the back of inflation, which he did through high interest rates, not through targeting high unemployment as you imply. Reagan couldn't do anything about Volcker as his term was up in 1983. He re-appointed Volcker because of Volcker's high regard in the financial community for beating inflation and the economy was performing much better, but effectively fired him in 1987 by not reappointing him because he was viewed as obstinate since Volcker was vocal in his opposition to some of Reagan's policies. Partisans on the right like to give all the credit to Reagan for the economy of the 80s, but much of the credit goes to Volcker.

And Dubya completely owns the 2001 recession.

Again, not a serious comment, and not one made by people who have an inkling how the economy works. Political people with little understanding of how economies work like to look at timelines and ascribe economic performance primarily to who was President at that time. Bush doesn't own the recession any more than Obama owns the recession of 2008-09. The seeds of the recessions were planted well before both men took office. They had to deal with the aftermath. Bush owns the second recession that happened under his watch but not the first. That's on Clinton.

One more time.

You fuckups on Wall Street don't get to lecture us on how the economy works after you fucked it up so badly.

It's like getting recipes from Jeff Dahmner.

It's like getting relationship advice from Nat Turner. You just have ZERO credibility on the subject.

 

[driveby]

LOL. "Absolute defense of Obamacare" he says. So you literally are making this all up. And if that's your "proof" of Democrats "celebrating not working" then this is very much a raging troll thread. No surprise since you started it.

This is no more a troll thread that the HUNDREDS of GOP war on women threads.

So you admit this is a troll thread. Thanks.

So you admit the GOP war on women is a huge lie, thanks.....

So, once again, your ignorance is exposed and you resort to angry ad hominems, for what, the 1000th time?

The end game? The U.S. Treasury spent to the point where full power takeover is inevitable.

Democrats only talk of jobs when Democrats are backed against the wall. Even then, it is all talk.
