Should the US Government take more control over the economy?

[minghan05]

This advisor is not answering specifically on the discrepancies, but generally. he didn't address the specific factors, other than just saying that the sentiments abt govt intevention in USA is different from the rest. Didn't show real grasps on the issues or shed meaningfulness into those figures

Stick with Fox news and do us a favor.

I don't know what all this talk about how bad things are in the economy

When every one in the U.S. has two or three televisions and five computers a six car in the drive way and two boats. What this sociaty is doing is acting like cry babies. The U.S . economy didn't need a shot in the arm in the finacial sector what it needed was a swift kich in the ass in the labor sector.

cool narrative mr.economics advisor

[TheLivingDeadOne]

becuse they do not own those 3-tvs and 6-cars and 5-computers and its all on credit with a promise to pay over time with interest,.,.Its an illusion of wealth that can go away in a second,. plus,. you are one of the 70% consumer (people who spend money they dont have in the fist place) on things they dont need in the first place,. (See above)

US Government Control = Print money and buy stocks .

Americans have no tradition of statist intervention so they would be naturally suspcious of anything that smacks of gov. intervention.

What a bullshit interview.

[ss90ss444]

Should it? No need. Rich people own the government. Warren Buffett and George Soros are big supporters of Barack Obama.

Yeah more power to Al Gore and other people who make money from Global Warming.

very true

@silversobe

History also have shown that supply-side economics is the reason for the US running large deficits. History also dictates that Demcorat Presidents have higher employment, GDP growth and the value of the US Dollar is higher than Republican presidents. But no one really cares because many people think Democrats are socialists and that liberals spend too much. Have they forgotten the conservatives love to spend money on wars, which cost way more than interest on the US debt.

I love rt news but this professor was talking out of his ass. Global warming, Give me a break. lets do the numbers 22,000 people / 2000 countries = 1200 people for country. and then you add that 1 of the countries mention is CHINA, like the chinese are that stupid to talk bad about thier communist country.

Look at what happened to Panfilo from Cuba. For saying that in cuba there was no food as he was drunk in a video. He has been arrested for 3 years. Youtube "panfilo cuba" and watch.

[jcperez0426]

I meant 20 countries.

No thanks

[samin62]

that is possible only when there is no human in the world.

[samin62]

spending more is just going to make it worse.

[wtong89]

@samin62

During a time when consumers arent spending, the government spends to offset it. It a capialist economy, you have to spend to make money. I agree the US Govt has to care about the national debt but Economy comes first. Also many Americans are blinded by the fact that Americans prior to the Reagan Administration paid way higher taxes. The US can pay off the debt if they increase taxes, but conservatives are still trying to sell bullshit supply-side economics to Americans.
