The government doing what?

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:02pm

Growing anything.

adroit · December 1, 2019, 7:03pm

Are government expenditures somehow void in the economy?

Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics all thank you for your tax dollars…

Terri4Trump:

Democrats Have Always Destroyed the Economy PART ONE

The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. He did not.

Before the Democrats took Congress in 2007 unemployment was 4.1%, gas was $1.70 a gallon, and the economy was expanding.

Then the Democrats took Congress in 2007 and promptly destroyed the economy. When Obama became president in 2009 he made it twice as bad.

Let’s do a little math here:

Bush was president for 8 years, from 2001 to 2009.

As I said, in 2007 unemployment was 4.1% and the economy was expanding. That is SIX years into the Bush presidency mind you - SIX OUT OF EIGHT. (And BTW: 4.1% is almost perfect since there is no such thing as a 0% rate.)

Now, can anyone explain to me why the first six years of the eight-year Bush presidency was just fine, and then magically, when the Democrats took over Congress, the economy tanked? Simple: The Democrats took power. When they took power they pushed their social engineering policy of trying to let minorities who wants to own a house own a house whether they could afford it or not. All the bad loans the banks made, they were browbeat into that by the Left. And THAT was the first domino in line to fall.

As I said: The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. In fact, Democrats did, with policies that can find their genesis in the Clinton years

Stay tuned for Part Two…

It"s not that important.

Government couldn’t grow weed in Hawaii. Stop looking for government to save you.

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:05pm

War monger.

$37 Billion in defense spending alone in Texas last year…

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:06pm

Uncalled for. If you don’t like the thread, just ignore it.

There is also no need to quote that wall of text and make me scroll with my arthritic fingers.

Samson_Corwell · December 1, 2019, 7:08pm

What? I’m giving my opinion on the economy. I don’t not like the thread, I’m expressing my belief that it shouldn’t be a top priority.

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:08pm

That’s not the way it comes across.

adroit · December 1, 2019, 7:11pm

Non-sequitur.

Are government expenditures somehow void in the economy?

Samson_Corwell · December 1, 2019, 7:11pm

Oh.

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:12pm

It’s recycling by a clerk. The government doesn’t produce, it takes. Get away from it.

adroit · December 1, 2019, 7:14pm

Does private capital somehow have a magic quality that public capital doesn’t possess?

Jezcoe · December 1, 2019, 7:15pm

Public capital is a lot more useful.

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:18pm

“Public capital” is a shell game. Stop looking at government to save you.

WuWei · December 1, 2019, 7:18pm

It comes from labor production. Not not magic.

mobulis · December 1, 2019, 7:20pm

Why, its doing good so far.

mobulis · December 1, 2019, 7:22pm

Nope.
