The GOP doesn't understand why their policies cause so much damage.

[rdean]

Take government, Republicans want to pretty much render our government useless. They want to end regulations. We saw what happened when you do that at the end of 2008. Of course, they try to blame the economic meltdown on Barney Frank but economists knew the truth.

We need government to regulate big business, corporations and banks.

We need big business, corporations and banks. They are just as American as the rest of us. But the economy and the country need to be protected from big business excesses. So we also need a strong government. The entire reason Republicans have demonized government is so big business could rip off the country. Republicans are the best politicians money can buy.

The GOP's hatred of government is misplaced. That's why they are so bad at it.

Bernie Sanders hatred of big business will be just as destructive and the GOP's policies against government.

Not government. The current government. Be specific.

The problem is corporatism. You didn't mention this once. That's what causes these things. Also...You blaming the GOP as if...I'm trying to remain civil...as if they are the sole reason for all you, personally, deem to be so awful. That disqualifies you from being taken seriously. Key examples: Detroit. The disintegration of the black family due to a dependence on the welfare state.
Please...If you want to be taken seriously then do not pick on one side or the other exclusively. That's what indoctrinated people do.

our government has passed useless, to become dangerous. i have never seen so many threads on this board before, so many even go unanswered.

according to that movie the short, one guy went to jail. wall street"s not the problem. if there are anti trust violations, do something about it. and don't make any more ninja loans, wall street didn't do that.

 

[easyt65]

....don't understand how policies effect middle class / Americans?

You mean like 'Economic Slavery' started by LBJ to control blacks?

Or like Obamacare, the minority-supported plan rammed down the throats of the majority of Americans who opposed it?

You mean like the policy of refusing to enforce existing law, engaging in human trafficking, releasing violent illegals into the population, protecting federal law-breaking Sanctuary Cities that provide safe haven to those illegals who prey on US citizens, and putting illegals as a higher priority than US citizens?!

Exactly. The corporatism is at an absurd level. One that penetrates every facet of establishment politics. This is exactly why so many are happily supporting Trump. Anything but the establishment. And boy is the establishment fighting back. Good God. Like a cat trying to escape a bath.

GREAT! Useless would be an improvement over what we have now, namely government that exploits citizenry for it's own ends.

They want to end regulations. We saw what happened when you do that at the end of 2008. Of course, they try to blame the economic meltdown on Barney Frank but economists knew the truth.

Really regulations ended in 2008? How come nobody told the rest of us that the 80,000+ pages in the national register had been done away with? Oh wait it's because it wasn't , you're just another digenious hyper-partisan liar spewing the typical partisan fairy tales you tell yourself to justify your own warped ideology.

We need government to regulate big business, corporations and banks.

We already have one of the most regulated economies in the history of the world, how's that been working out so far skippy?

Bernie Sanders hatred of big business will be just as destructive and the GOP's policies against government.

Bernie Sanders is just another big gub'mint loving career politician that doesn't give a flying fuck about the welfare of the common citizenry or the health of the Republic but of course he's got you fooled along with the rest of the mindless, pom-pom waiving lemmings that act like teenage girls at a boy band concert whenever he opens his mouth, when will you politician worshipers ever learn?

If GOP policies are damaging, then it goes without saying to some of us, that D policies are just as damaging...since the two parties are very much alike.

That's ridiculous. One party is 90% white. The other party is everyone else. Of course their policies will be wildly different. I find that mostly Republicans repeat that nonsense. Somehow they think it shields them from GOP failure. It doesn't.

It's been working out pretty good. Safety is high. The DOW is sky high. Corporations are making record profits. The economy is on an upswing. Unemployment is low.

Now, we need to get some of that regulation to get some of that money to "trickle down". Don't you agree?

Choice #1: Elderly white woman

Yep, that's some diversity there.

The Republicans do not want to render the government "useless" by which I am certain you mean depriving you and your parasitic ilk of FDR ' Rights: . The "right" to

be fed
to be insured
to be clothed
to enslave the taxpayers and producers
to invade the country du jour


Not one single candidate has pledged to abolish the gargantuan, bankrupt welfare/warfare police state.

I know you can't be reasoned with, so I don't know why I am trying...let's try to think logically today OKAY???

You think that since the R party is composed of more white voters than the D party, that makes the two parties different. Do you fail to see how ignorant that is?

The FACT that the two parties are very much alike in the way they rule, has NOTHING to do with the racial make up of their voters.

I suppose in your small PC leftist infected brain, racial composition means something. That merely proves how wrong you are.
