You could replaced "Bush" with "Reagan" and actually it would still make a lot of sense. Reagan helped fuel the war on drugs, he bailed out chrysler, and raised the national debt, and yet many people see Reagan as the image of small government.
@BlackWolf4830 Reagan did not "bailout" Chrysler. The government gave them a loan guarantee for $1 billion. It was repaid by Chrysler. Not a cent of taxpayer money was spent. The national debt increased because he had to compromise with the democrat congress for several years who were eager to find new ways to waste the new tax money generated from America's prosperity.
@HomoCyborgZombie There has never been a true libertarian president in the office. Show me ONCE, where by a plan of action, that a president cut his, and the governments powers. Where government got smaller. There has never has been. There probably never WILL be.
Ok on the health care thing obama has made health care much more accesible and cheaper so people can afford it all bush did was make presription drugs more expensive. Aside from that i don't really disagree with this video and at least obama did'nt start one of the longest wars in american history. Though personally i would much rather vote for ron paul
@shazbot76 The ironic thing is that you fucktards who spout the term "teabagger" are only showing that they are right and you are wrong. Hey jackass, that's how it usually works when you call someone names you disagree with.
This video is right on!! Why oh why does Obama keep blaming Bush?? It is amazing how people can say 'he can't fix things in just two years', especially when he has only two years left! Half of his presidency has gone by and there has been no prosecution of corrupt bank CEOs, no change in war strategy, and worst of all NO MENTION AT ALL OF THE CONTINUING FORECLOSURE CRISIS!!!
@goofball223 And where were you when Bush was doing everything you're blaming on Obama?
Oh yeah two years is totally enough for a whole country, that plays the biggest role in the worlds economy, can just fucking jump right up, can't it?
Man, you teabaggers are such whiney little bitches!
I found a cycle:
Right wing nutter takes house. Nation kicks him out for being retarded. Left wing nutter tries to clean it up, but because "BAW TWO YEARS IS ENOUGH" they kick him out and continue teabagging
No what Reason did was list a bunch of speculative nonsense, showed a bunch of graphs that he drew himself and then claimed that his lies were supported by "facts" that dont estend from legitimate sources.
Wrong again, moron. Less than 50% of the bailout money has been paid back, and to claim otherwise is disingenuous. Stop being like a creationist simply because it goes against your retarded political ideology.
As a gay man that served his nation in the AF and currently a firefighter knows the last 10 yrs have been a nightmare Bush and Obama are horrible but in reality there has not been one president in my life time that has done one thing for me. My Partner and I are married in Boston MA and are depending soley on the courts to give me what I want because the President , the House, the Congress and the Senete have done nothing for you or for me.
You should have also talked about his continuation of both failing wars, and state secrecy while violating our rights to the privacy and the free flow of information.
"I readily concede I chunked aside some of my free market principles when I was told by chief economic advisers that the situation we were facing could be worse than the Great Depression." -- Pres. Bush, Jan. 12, 2009
Problem is... ALL of those advisers were utter dolts and lowlifes. ADHERING to free market principles would have saved the day and averted our Great Recession. Maybe some short-term pain -- but tons of long-term gain!
Brainwashing: 1. impose beliefs on somebody: to impose a set of usually political or religious beliefs on somebody by the use of various coercive methods of indoctrination, including destruction of the victim’s prior beliefs
How so? Are you saying it's not brainwashed to like a politician and then hate another politician with almost identical policies just because he's from a different party?
Presidents are just figureheads. It doesn't matter who it is, the agenda stays the same. Look out for corporate interests, check. Look out for banking interests, check. Take away liberty, check.
Right and Left are just smoke and mirrors.
With information so easily accessed these days, it's stupefying that people are still so brainwashed.
The only way you're going to get America's "free press" to take an interest there is if you can identify a US soldier that, say, verbally "abuses" one of the Muslim savages when they catch him.
Remember, our Homeland Security chief thinks US soldiers are "the terrorist threat", not the wartime Muslim enemy.
Liberals & Muslims -- Life Partners -- Hot for Hirabah
@TylerNull "Liberals & Muslims -- Life Partners -- Hot for Hirabah"
excellent point...I hate this PC leftist crowd that no one can say "we have a muslim problem in this world" What do the leftists say? "There are only 1% of the muslims that are terrorists" Whats 1% of a billion and a half? Thats a world wide problem!
Okay, but why were there lobbyist running important regulatory agencies under Bush unlike Obama? Also, compared on how much each was spending, one spent a good chuck of the money on war while Obama is attempting to divert it but remains in a reduced conflict. Both cut taxes except Bush cut Taxes for the rich as well. Also, Obama has only been in office for 2 YEARS!! Bush? 8 MOTHERFUCKING HORRIFIC YEARS!! Overall? Its takes more time to construct a house than to destroy it.
I can finally relax. I can sit and watch the Republicans and the Tea Party "work" .... after all the NO, NO, NO and NO ..... they finally have to deliver and it will be extremely tought, because they will cut jobs (more unemployment), cut taxes for the rich people increase debt, cut funds for innovation and education ... they will play defensive ..... while we will watch China destroy the American economy while we head towards a new depression. HAVE FUN!!!
lol @ retarded talking points without any actual substance. I especially liked the whole "cut taxes for rich people" part; it's not like the 01 or 03 tax credits helped anyone from the middle or lower classes or anything...
you don't understand reason...you see as Obama pointed out,"the republicans drove this car into the ditch, and now they want the keys back."
we can't give those guys the keys!..... :P
reason tv needs to get it's own network on television....america needs this kind of insight. bush didn't bring a free market approach to governance....he brought a wishy washy brand of neoconservatism that was in many ways antithetical to everything the free market is.
@umrmecheman Obama is continuing the policies of Bush. So if "the republicans drove this car into the ditch, and now they want the keys back" is true, Obama and his posse democrats got the car towed from the ditch and are driving it at 80 mph; Are we heading off a cliff or into a brick wall?
Bush is a human, Obama is too. Bush is a male, Obama is too. Bush is a biped, Obama is too. Bush has two arms, Obama does too. Bush was an American President, Obama is too. Bush breathes, eats, sleeps, poops, pees...
It's almost like two people holding the same office in the same country in the same decade facing similar problems do some similar things (especially when you generalize their actions).
Oh, I forgot to mention; Bush lived in the White House, Obama does too!
Both Keynesians, both increased government dramatically, both support the drug wars, both support the war on terror, both support the war on poverty, both support our overseas empire where we fight other countries wars, both support Ben Bernanke, both support the Federal Reserve, both increased the budget deficit, both raised taxes through inflation or direct taxes, both brought favorable regulations for big corporations. Only difference is one makes better speeches.
The difference between Bush and Obama is that one's a fool, and the other one thinks it's not him.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS FREE TRADE!
All Trades costs in one way or another. These crooks, idiots, and confidence tricksters (a.k.a. politicians) outsourced/exported our jobs and manufacturing to enrich Wall St., not Main St.; and, now they can't figure out why we're unemployed? Ya can't tell Bush and Obama apart for the echos between their ears! :\
Obama will go down as the most significant President in our history. His troubles are great and started in the previous administration but he has done what he must do to bring US back to sanity....
@Pkr You are right about Obama's presidency being significant but not for the reason you think. How is he bringing sanity back to the U.S.? He is bringing bigger government, more spending, and higher deficits. Big government is the biggest problem facing this country and it has been for quite some time. It didn't start with Obama nor did it start with Bush, but it sure needs to end somewhere. When will people learn that government is NOT the answer?
@choppy777 How ccan Obama get things done when the whole(hole) right is obstructionist. No, No, No, is not an answer. Radical teabaggers like yourself should be offering solutions not complaining and crying about how awful it is that the other side is making the important decisions. Get off your complaining ass, do something constructive. Government is the answer. If it was left up to people like you and your gurus, half the people would be homlesss or dead.
@lizardgizard2002 You are part of the problem. You say that I am a "radical teabagger"? What makes you think that big government is the answer? All that people like you can do is throw around terms like "teabagger" in an effort to marginalize anyone with an opinion that is different than yours. How is believing in limited constitutional government radical? The only radical position is one that thinks big government can solve all the people's problems.
its not a question of big government...nor small gov't...but smart and democratically driven gov't...what you have now is a tyranny and ideologically fueled congress that cannot and will not get anything done, because they are either TOO corrupt or TOO ideological.
Why can't you understand that the good governance comes from logical policies? Not all regulations are bad, although many are. And you should be fighting to CHANGE policies, not ELIMINATE them. That's dumb.
@YoungSpotUBrock I never said that all regulations are bad nor that I want to eliminate all policies rather than change them. I do agree with you that most politicians are too corrupt but that is exactly where the big/small government argument comes into play. The power of the government should be limited because neither party is truly looking out for what is best for the people. I just think that people who believe giving politicians more power will solve their problems are simply misguided.
@choppy777 all people like yuo can do is throw around terms like "big government" in an effort to distort an honest discussion about what reasonable regulation can and should be implemented.
@lizardgizard2002 *Sigh* You are so fucking stupid. They are saying "no" because they'd rather not see the country die. Saying "yes" to those policies will ensure that. So "no" is not only an answer, but the best one. Furthermore, the fact that you used the term "radical teabagger"(because wanting limited government is so radical, LOL) ironically makes you the radical one because you are so far to one end of the spectrum that anyone who disagrees with anything you say is "radical." LOL. Retard.
@itachi705 I hate to inform you, little game boy, but the majority of us are not delusional, fearful and ignorant as teabaggers in training have been so easily been brainwashed into believing. We are the ones in power. Your dumb libertarian and tea party guru's are wrong about history, economics and political reality. Like any good teabagger "in training" you have used the word "retard", "sheep" and you could only comment by including profanity so I can guess what you will say next.
@itachi705 Someone is spamming your comments. Someone must know you, gameboy. Lol sucker, you are brainwashed more than I thought. Too Bad. So Sad. And so young and impressionable too. No future for you sonny.
We have the power and we will pull you teabaggers, even those in training, kicking and screaming into the 21st century. So, cry and complain all you want.
The last two parag. show your lack of maturity, sonny. Its like saying "I'm not, you are", Or "I know I am, so what are you".
@lizardgizard2002 It's ironic that someone so incredibly brainwashed and immature like you is calling someone else brainwashed and immature. I'm so intimidated.
"We have the power and we will pull..."
Again with this "we" shit. Yeah, people are so scared of you and your 6 radical friends. You and your ilk won't pull anybody anywhere. The only people kicking and screaming will be you radicals, and maybe then the illusion that you are leading the 21st century will be broken.
@itachi705 More of the "I'm not, you are". Why is it , sonny, that you repeat my words. You must either be so impressed with them or you just don't have words of your own. I wonder who your guru is. Is it Glenn Beck or maybe Alex Jones? Many teabaggers in training are impressed with kooks like Peter Schiff or Ron Paul, the whiners and complainers of the world. Complain but do nothing. That is isn't it? Complain but no ideas and do nothing for society. Too Bad. So Sad.
@lizardgizard2002 You really are walking sack of irony. It's not "I'm not, you are", it's just the truth. Accept it. People like you just do whatever Keith Olbermann or his son Richard Maddow tell them to. Maybe your guru is special Ed Shultz? LOL. Honestly, though, keep replying, I'm having a ball with this. It's so fun playing with the mentally challenged. And keep saying "teabagger", it only further makes things even more funny, considering you're the teabagee.
"Complain but do nothing. That is isn't it? Complain but no ideas and do nothing for society. Too Bad. So Sad."
LOL I don't know if you're trolling or what, but Schiff and Paul have plainly laid out what's wrong and how to fix it. Unlike your cronies that deny what's wrong and make things worse.
@itachi705 Palin is what Atlas Puked up .. you guys represent the Cult of Stupidity and the Rise of the Little Minds.
As if YOU wont go running to govt intervention as soon as YOU need it.
The world is in a mess .. and you are that mess.. a product of decay and inefficiency and juvenile self interest....you arent the future , you are the just the end game of stupidity: Clowns behind clowns in a row like that movie The Human Centipede ( except YOU are saying thank you)
@kochista Actually, you are the reason this world is a mess. It's YOUR fault, motherfucker. You are the mess, you and your ilk are the epitome of stupidity. Stop projecting it onto others.
@itachi705 Mate - the only pulling you will be doing is pulling yourself - you are an abolute twat
Hope I meet you sometime and then Im gonna opan a can of self interest on your flabby ass. You , my friend, are just a bitch for the bankers - and a hopeless brainwashed wannabe follower
@kochista You are an absolutely insufferable dumb motherfucker. I don't give a shit what some retarded internet tough guy like you has to say. You're wrong, motherfucker, accept it. If you ever met me, you'd be fucking destroyed, bitch. Just be thankful that it probably won't happen.
@itachi705 Honestly i just looked at what you like - you are such a loser and happy joyous slave. The reason Stupid Americans like you get so frothy and on your hindlegs ...is coz you ARE stupid and get confused when the rest of the world laughs at you. The Teaparty - ? You ARE fucking kidding right - another predictable pointless unoriginal thing out of America.More recycled patsy deadhead redneck puppet shit...and YOU think its fuckin amaaazing. A nation of angry proud centipede derbrains!!
@kochista People like you belong in death camps for being so stupid. Ironically, whenever some self righteous cultural narcissist prick says something so overused like "stupid Americans", they are usually the stupid ones. You are a fucking idiot. I'm just stating facts, bitch. The fact that you would say something so prejudiced and stereotypical like "redneck puppet shit" proves your stupidity. You need to get an education, dumbass.
LOL I just noticed that the highest rated comment is a reply against your stupidity.
"Like any good teabagger "in training" you have used the word "retard", "sheep" and you could only comment by including profanity so I can guess what you will say next."
I'm just calling a spade a spade. LOL it's funny how you teabaggees keep setting yourself up to be teabagged.
LOL you fucking statist. Every shred of evidence says that government caused the problems. Fucking sheep like you that continue their blind faith in the establishment are the problem.
SHHHHH! the two party system is a sham. who runs this turd now? CRF, Tri-lat, IMF, banks in Fed Res and giant corps... basically - money and greed. soldiers are sent to clean up Fed govt and CIA blowback... and do the bidding of banksters - put in harms way for our own f-ups. think about it - when is the last time Congress declared war? A: WWII.
Considering that now politics in the US are only headlines without going into details treating people like stupids, ... this video is again another smoke in the eyes.
SPENDING - AMERICANS DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WASTING MONEY AND INVESTING MONEY. TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH IS WASTING MONEY THAT CREATE DEBT BECAUSE THEY ARE 1% OF THE POPULATION THEY DON'T SPEND MONEY AND THEY PUT IT THE CAYMAN ISLANDS (THE ECONOMY DOESN'T MOVE).
TAX CUTS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS IS INVESTING MONEY. WHEN 95% OF THE PEOPLE HAVE MONEY THEY IMMEDIATELY SPEND IT IN FOOD, CLOTHES, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND ANY SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY MOVES. THE JOBS WE LOSTS ARE OBSOLETE JOBS THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK. WITHOUT COMPETITION IN NEW SECTORS, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND NEW IDEAS INVESTING MONEY (CAPITALISM) WE GO NOWHERE. BTW IN THE LAST 10 YEARS 65% OF JOB GROWTH CAME FROM THE SMALL BUSINESS NOT FROM THE CORPORATIONS
Considering that now politics in the US are only headlines without going into details treating people like stupids, ... this video is again another smoke in the eyes.
FINANCIAL REGULATION BILL: BUSH DIDN'T REGULATE THE BANKS EVER!!!!! IF YOU DON'T REGULATE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THEY GAMBLE ON YOU AND CRETID CARD COMPANIES SQUEEZE YOU AND FORCE YOU TO STAY IN DEBT SPENDING MORE THAN YOU EARN. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT CREDIT CARD DEBT IS THE #1 BUSINESS IN THE US???? VERY FEW.
Consideing that now politics in the US are only headlines without going into details treating people like stupids, ... this video is again another smoke in the eyes.
BAILOUT - BUSH BAILOUT GAVE MONEY TO BANKS WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE AND DISAPPEARED IN A SNAP OF A FINGER AT THE POINT THAT A SECOND BAILOUT WAS NECESSARY AT THE CONDITION THE MONEY CAME BACK WITH INTERESTS AND WITH A FINANCIAL REFORM .... THE BANKS NOT ONLY GAVE ALL THE MONEY BACK BUT THEY ALSO PAID THE INTERESTS.
The Bush Bailouts were approved by your democratic congress. The Demmies in congress could have done something about it but they didn't. Now they are being voted OUT!!!!!!!!
@Bellita1 THE BANKS REPAID THE BAILOUT WITH INETERESTS ... CHECK THE FACTS AND STOP TALKING ABOUT THE BAILOUT. THE AMERICAN CAR INDUSTRY IN 2010 HAD THE BEST YEAR EVER SINCE MANY YEARS .... COMPARED TO THE JAPANESE INDUSTRY AND NOW THE GOVERNMENT IS SELLING BACK TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHAT THEY BOUGHT. FYI THIS ALREADY HAPPENED IN GERMANY AND FRANCE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT SOLD IT BACK TO PRIVATES. AMERICANS REALLY ARE PROFESSIONAL WHINERS !!!!!
Has AIG paid back the Money? Also, Rich people invest their money in business that create something called JOBS. NOBAMA HAS FORGOT ABOUT CREATING JOBS.
Not really, rich people had a tax cut with Bush and we exponentially lost jobs. as I said, check the facts, 65% of the jobs created in the last years and growing cames from the small business and new competitive corporations (Google, Apple, ....) which create new businesses ... not the old monopolistic corporate mammoths
Where do you think the money came from to start these companyies? The Government, Thin Air? No it came from Rich Investors who funded these companies through private equity.
If the Demmies had of stole all of the rich people's money and gave it Shaniqua to get her nails done, then google wouldn't exist.
@Bellita1 I'm sorry to say your example doesn't help you at all in your argument. Google was indeed started by a donation from a rich investor. Except it was 1998, Clinton was president, and taxes were at the levels that democrats want to revert back to. Google is a useful tool, isn't it?
And we had a REPULICAN CONGRESS. Then in 2006 the country voted in a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS and the country experienced a horrible Recession. Thankfully, the Demmies will be voted out of power today.
@Bellita1 Whether repubs or dems were in control doesn't matter. Taxes were higher then what they are right now. And still Google was founded, and lots of other tech companies too during that time. Problems like those that created the recession don't arise in two years. There is no way democrats created the entire mess after the 2006 election. Certainly, they could have done better taking action before the recession, but the fact remains that it was republican policies that led us to the crapper
@Bellita1 You said it, dude. "A country should raise taxes during prospours times," Bush cut taxes, especially for the rich where he eliminated estate taxes, when the economy was in relatively good shape, leading to budget deficits and job stagnation. Then there was the Iraq War, which we didn't need. Then there was Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which deregulated the very markets that caused the housing crisis. Then there was the sitting back while Wall Street banks fucked with our money.
And Bush cut taxes because of the recession the country went in when the Dot Com bubble and Tech Bubble burst. He did the right thing. Reducing the estate tax didn't lead to job stagnation. The Iraq War increased spending but did add significanly to the deficit. As far as the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, that was signed into law in 2000 and Bush wasn't President. Clinton signed that legislation. When did Bush sit back while wall street banks screwed the money?
Really, I didn't know Google, Amazon, Ebay etc... were foreign companies. Also, as a Democrat you should want jobs created overseas to help spread the wealth around. You should be happy that the poor people overseas are being given an opporuntiy to get ahead.
@Bellita1 Im surprised you havent sprained something from jumping to such conclusions so quickly. When did I say companies were -based- over sees. I said they were investing in -jobs- oversees.
I'm obviously not your yes man, I must be "the big bad" other. Nice propaganda-y jab there. belongs on a chalkboard.
As a democrat, Id want wealth for my people cheifly, but still like to have good standing in foreign policy, rather than war, b/c I'd want to be a good person, not a war-hawk. :3
Again with putting words in my mouth, though Im sure these listed companies that invest in outsourcing jobs have plenty of repubies:
AIG
Amazon
AOL
Apple
AT&T (I should know, I work for west, contract corp for AT&T)
BofA
Google "exporting America"
Enjoy eating your words. Every company you listed exports jobs overseas, leaving literally mill's of ppl unemployed & leading to massive layoffs thanks to bush tax cuts for said companies. But thats what repubs want, right?
The founders of Google are Democrats. Many of the countires richest people are Democrats. Look at George Soros, he is a huge liberal. Do you think any of his companies have outsourced jobs? I bet they have. I bet his company has laidoff workers too. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are both Democrats. So how do you say Republicans are investing in overseas jobs? Quit Lying
@Bellita1.If u believed in ur point it would make sense u wouldn't want tax cuts for them. Google founders havnt admitted theyre dems. Prove it. Google gives to dems, not the founders, their employees/ceos. Ur problem is u take bets against ppl u dont understand, thus dont agree w/, rather than settling on facts/actions. Sounds like u should work for a bank.
You havent contested NEthing I've said, but irrationally lashed out at dems w/ little evidence so I really have nothing further to say.
Your sentance is so incoherent I can't understand what you are tying to say. I do believe my point and I am not trying to punish the other side because they are Rich. The problem with you and the Demmies / Progressives, is you Hate Rich people more than anything on Earth. Their number 1 agenda is to stick it to rich people no matter what it does to the economy.
@Bellita1 I dont expect you to comprehend shorthand seeing as plain english & logic is too much. The misconception you adopt is garbage thats been crammed into you since birth via sensationalist yellow journalism untill it's the only thing you respond to.Why would I want to hate myself? I didnt go to college for science for nothing. I dont subscribe to the abuse of the middle & lower class the elite are so fond of doing. If that makes me a bad-guy, sure. Im still the lesser of two evils then.
@Bellita1 Lol, nice one, for totally back tracking. First I say rupubs invest in overseas jobs, then you tell me google and amazon are repub funded companies, untill I tell you they do indeed fund jobs overseas, then all of a sudden their filthy dems?
How about sticking to your damned story. It's stupid to make such a glaring flip flop on a service that doesn't allow you to go back and edit your older posts.
Enjoy being pointed out and openly mocked for your glaring hypocritical mistakes.
I asked you to name Republican companies that invest in overseas jobs and you couldn't. You named Demmie controlled companies that invest in overseas jobs which shows your hypocracy. NObama is on an out sourcing mission with India as we speak.
@Bellita1 thanks for making your goal apparent once again. Youll sling mud whether its factual or not and when caught in a fault, you attack to to deflect your mistakes. Your goal is to appear right irregardless of honesty.
Prove one of those companies you listed as being 'demmie' controlled.
My overwhelming point you have proven to not be able to grasp is that every company you listed as being 100% american are in fact shipping out jobs. Regardless of their funding, you were pointedly wrong.
You said the Republicans are outsourcing jobs and I said to prove it. NObama is on an outsourcing mission with India this week. Many companies are multinational so they have a right to hire in other countries. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it one bit. But for you to say Republicans are outsourcing jobs is completely false.
@Bellita1 No. That's a lie. I said the businesses you listed BENEFITED from bush tax credits that allow them to invest in jobs overseas, further suppressing the economy. If strawman arguments are all you can use, i'm dont playing with you. I play fair. I dont play dirty. Obama isnt doing anything any other president hasnt done. Your only whining bc he's a dem. For you to say rupubs arent outsourceing jobs is completely false. You cant possibly know over several thousand companies are solely dem.
You are a complete Idiot. The free market is what dictates jobs and where they are. How do you figure Republicans are outsourcing jobs and Demmies aren't? Where's your proof. It is your assumption.
@Bellita1 You are a complete idiot for thinking Im actually against and/or have said those things.Hence your only argument as a strawman. Im not saying /demmies/ aren't, I'm saying /both/ own corporations, and /both/ are outsourcing jobs and that its quite irrational to place blame on one party when its apparent that the problem is a system that allows both sides to take advantage of the amarican ppl. Only the most mentally disabled believe repubs are free from any guilt or participation.
ALso, the free market bit. If at the most terrible times in our country mega corps are investing in jobs overseas, it just goes to show why regulation is required. Repub policy cutting back regulation isnt fiscally responsible, its massively irresponsible in the long run considering the amount of job loss there is here. It perpetuates the problem. Companies can and do take advantage of lenient regulation or there would have never been enron or the bank bailout.
So you are going to have regulations and that is going to keep jobs in the US? How is regulation going to keep jobs here. Why didn't Clinton regulate Enron? Most of the fraud was on his watch.
@MrFreedomdemocracy Well the auto industry got a huge bump from the cash for clunkers and 0% interest,,,,now what,,,,people are not going to get a second new car this year,,,,,auto industry is going to get a major slam this year or next
@TheRetiredtrucker based on what ??? Can you show me figures? I don't see any sign of decrease especially now that they are launching full electric cars.
Considering that now politics in the US are only headlines without going into details treating people like stupids, ... this video is again another smoke in the eyes.
STIMULUS PACKAGE - BUSH DIDN'T GIVE ANY STIMULUS PACKAGE AND NO TAX CUTS TO 95% OF THE PEOPLE. NO INVESTMENTS IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION DURING THE LAME DUCK SESSIONS. IF IT WAS TRUE WE WOULD HAVE HAD JOB LOSSES REDUCTION, WHILE IN JAN-FEB-MARCH 2009 BEFORE THE STIMULUS PASSED WE LOST 2M JOBS (UNEMPLOYMENT FROM 7.8% TO 9.5%)
@MrFreedomdemocracy And I'm sure you can verify this via the mainstream media telling you so. Good luck with those politiks. They'll be the very end of you and your way of life. Neither side is good for anything but lying.
@chop98 I verified this through the 95% of the liberal, independent and moderate conservative media ..... I didn't verify this with Fox News ... I don't need to. Glenn Beck said in the VIEW he and Fox News never check the source of their information, so .....
@MrFreedomdemocracy I verify with every day living. So do millions of other people in this country. Both sides of this politkal ass party are killing us. Keep using your mainstream media. Keep believing the lies.
@MrFreedomdemocracy Btw...good job giving yourself a thumbs up on your comments. I checked your latest comments page. Stop using the fake accounts and running up the thumbs up numbers. It's unbecoming.
How does this video do anything for either party or stance? You could make videos like this comparing any president to one another. Its uncreative and boring.
Return to Constitutionally limited Gov't, Restore the Bill of Rights, Individual Liberty & Responsibility, Sound Money, FREE competition between FREE States & FREE people.
I have said the same thing to liberals just about every day for the last couple of months as they continue to blame bush....I guess they don't see the irony, all they see id the big 'd' where 'd'=good *rolls eyes*
There are a million things different. Federal funding for stem cells, completely different stances on immigration, completely different stances on education reform, completely different stances on Social Security, on Guantanamo, on Supreme Court appointees, on science research funding, on torture. Even for the examples cited, the Bush stimulus was a Democratic bill that 3/4 of Republicans voted against. This video oversimplifies by far!
Right...so you're 'huge difference' is that one is a Statist Conservative while the other is a Statist Liberal. Good job...it's like the 'huge difference' between Coke and Pepsi.
I love it America is screaming that your Government is broken well of course it is that is what happens when you let corporations buy their way into government hell Democrat and Republican all of them are corrupted by greed and the only way to fix it is to get the corporations out.
god these people that think its the same shit are stupid as fuck, name one president that didnt try and sign some sort of health care bill, gov spending.
all stupid as fuck, plus its the Bilderbergs that control the world.
just about every damn president is another version of itself.
Maybe God will send America a true patriot in 2012 that has the balls to cut the puppet strings,side with the people,support our constitutional rights,protect the nation and put our country first. Am I praying for too much or is this really the job as president?
Nail on the Head!

You could replaced "Bush" with "Reagan" and actually it would still make a lot of sense. Reagan helped fuel the war on drugs, he bailed out chrysler, and raised the national debt, and yet many people see Reagan as the image of small government.
BlackWolf4830 1 year ago
@BlackWolf4830 Reagan did not "bailout" Chrysler. The government gave them a loan guarantee for $1 billion. It was repaid by Chrysler. Not a cent of taxpayer money was spent. The national debt increased because he had to compromise with the democrat congress for several years who were eager to find new ways to waste the new tax money generated from America's prosperity.

Ok on the health care thing obama has made health care much more accesible and cheaper so people can afford it all bush did was make presription drugs more expensive. Aside from that i don't really disagree with this video and at least obama did'nt start one of the longest wars in american history. Though personally i would much rather vote for ron paul

This video is right on!! Why oh why does Obama keep blaming Bush?? It is amazing how people can say 'he can't fix things in just two years', especially when he has only two years left! Half of his presidency has gone by and there has been no prosecution of corrupt bank CEOs, no change in war strategy, and worst of all NO MENTION AT ALL OF THE CONTINUING FORECLOSURE CRISIS!!!

@Bellita1 You said it, dude. "A country should raise taxes during prospours times," Bush cut taxes, especially for the rich where he eliminated estate taxes, when the economy was in relatively good shape, leading to budget deficits and job stagnation. Then there was the Iraq War, which we didn't need. Then there was Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which deregulated the very markets that caused the housing crisis. Then there was the sitting back while Wall Street banks fucked with our money.

I'm obviously not your yes man, I must be "the big bad" other. Nice propaganda-y jab there. belongs on a chalkboard.
As a democrat, Id want wealth for my people cheifly, but still like to have good standing in foreign policy, rather than war, b/c I'd want to be a good person, not a war-hawk. :3

The companies I named were investments in jobs in the USA. Please show me where Republicans invested in overseas jobs.
When has a demmie ever wanted wealth for the USA? NEVER

@Bellita1 Prove it lol.
Again with putting words in my mouth, though Im sure these listed companies that invest in outsourcing jobs have plenty of repubies:
AIG
Amazon
AOL
Apple
AT&T (I should know, I work for west, contract corp for AT&T)
BofA
Google "exporting America"
Enjoy eating your words. Every company you listed exports jobs overseas, leaving literally mill's of ppl unemployed & leading to massive layoffs thanks to bush tax cuts for said companies. But thats what repubs want, right?

The founders of Google are Democrats. Many of the countires richest people are Democrats. Look at George Soros, he is a huge liberal. Do you think any of his companies have outsourced jobs? I bet they have. I bet his company has laidoff workers too. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are both Democrats. So how do you say Republicans are investing in overseas jobs? Quit Lying

@Bellita1.If u believed in ur point it would make sense u wouldn't want tax cuts for them. Google founders havnt admitted theyre dems. Prove it. Google gives to dems, not the founders, their employees/ceos. Ur problem is u take bets against ppl u dont understand, thus dont agree w/, rather than settling on facts/actions. Sounds like u should work for a bank.
You havent contested NEthing I've said, but irrationally lashed out at dems w/ little evidence so I really have nothing further to say.

Your sentance is so incoherent I can't understand what you are tying to say. I do believe my point and I am not trying to punish the other side because they are Rich. The problem with you and the Demmies / Progressives, is you Hate Rich people more than anything on Earth. Their number 1 agenda is to stick it to rich people no matter what it does to the economy.

@Bellita1 I dont expect you to comprehend shorthand seeing as plain english & logic is too much. The misconception you adopt is garbage thats been crammed into you since birth via sensationalist yellow journalism untill it's the only thing you respond to.Why would I want to hate myself? I didnt go to college for science for nothing. I dont subscribe to the abuse of the middle & lower class the elite are so fond of doing. If that makes me a bad-guy, sure. Im still the lesser of two evils then.

@Bellita1 Lol, nice one, for totally back tracking. First I say rupubs invest in overseas jobs, then you tell me google and amazon are repub funded companies, untill I tell you they do indeed fund jobs overseas, then all of a sudden their filthy dems?
How about sticking to your damned story. It's stupid to make such a glaring flip flop on a service that doesn't allow you to go back and edit your older posts.
Enjoy being pointed out and openly mocked for your glaring hypocritical mistakes.

I asked you to name Republican companies that invest in overseas jobs and you couldn't. You named Demmie controlled companies that invest in overseas jobs which shows your hypocracy. NObama is on an out sourcing mission with India as we speak.

@Bellita1 thanks for making your goal apparent once again. Youll sling mud whether its factual or not and when caught in a fault, you attack to to deflect your mistakes. Your goal is to appear right irregardless of honesty.
Prove one of those companies you listed as being 'demmie' controlled.
My overwhelming point you have proven to not be able to grasp is that every company you listed as being 100% american are in fact shipping out jobs. Regardless of their funding, you were pointedly wrong.

@Yashendwirh
You said the Republicans are outsourcing jobs and I said to prove it. NObama is on an outsourcing mission with India this week. Many companies are multinational so they have a right to hire in other countries. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it one bit. But for you to say Republicans are outsourcing jobs is completely false.
Bellita1 1 year ago
@Bellita1 No. That's a lie. I said the businesses you listed BENEFITED from bush tax credits that allow them to invest in jobs overseas, further suppressing the economy. If strawman arguments are all you can use, i'm dont playing with you. I play fair. I dont play dirty. Obama isnt doing anything any other president hasnt done. Your only whining bc he's a dem. For you to say rupubs arent outsourceing jobs is completely false. You cant possibly know over several thousand companies are solely dem.

You are a complete Idiot. The free market is what dictates jobs and where they are. How do you figure Republicans are outsourcing jobs and Demmies aren't? Where's your proof. It is your assumption.
Bellita1 1 year ago
@Bellita1 You are a complete idiot for thinking Im actually against and/or have said those things.Hence your only argument as a strawman. Im not saying /demmies/ aren't, I'm saying /both/ own corporations, and /both/ are outsourcing jobs and that its quite irrational to place blame on one party when its apparent that the problem is a system that allows both sides to take advantage of the amarican ppl. Only the most mentally disabled believe repubs are free from any guilt or participation.
Yashendwirh 1 year ago
ALso, the free market bit. If at the most terrible times in our country mega corps are investing in jobs overseas, it just goes to show why regulation is required. Repub policy cutting back regulation isnt fiscally responsible, its massively irresponsible in the long run considering the amount of job loss there is here. It perpetuates the problem. Companies can and do take advantage of lenient regulation or there would have never been enron or the bank bailout.
Yashendwirh 1 year ago
@Yashendwirh
So you are going to have regulations and that is going to keep jobs in the US? How is regulation going to keep jobs here. Why didn't Clinton regulate Enron? Most of the fraud was on his watch.

Considering that now politics in the US are only headlines without going into details treating people like stupids, ... this video is again another smoke in the eyes.
STIMULUS PACKAGE - BUSH DIDN'T GIVE ANY STIMULUS PACKAGE AND NO TAX CUTS TO 95% OF THE PEOPLE. NO INVESTMENTS IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION DURING THE LAME DUCK SESSIONS. IF IT WAS TRUE WE WOULD HAVE HAD JOB LOSSES REDUCTION, WHILE IN JAN-FEB-MARCH 2009 BEFORE THE STIMULUS PASSED WE LOST 2M JOBS (UNEMPLOYMENT FROM 7.8% TO 9.5%)

This is an extremely shallow comparison.
There are a million things different. Federal funding for stem cells, completely different stances on immigration, completely different stances on education reform, completely different stances on Social Security, on Guantanamo, on Supreme Court appointees, on science research funding, on torture. Even for the examples cited, the Bush stimulus was a Democratic bill that 3/4 of Republicans voted against. This video oversimplifies by far!
