My post had correct spelling and grammar. That's fine. It had not occurred to me that responding in lower-case letters was a symbol of disrespect. But then, what do I know? Just curious... what is trumpalumpa? It's an unusual term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagans de-regulation of banks was a first step, Clinton signing the repeal of Glass-Steagall act forced by the veto proof republican majority in congress aided it, then Shrubs tax breaks for billionaires and starting a trillion dollar unfunded war in Iraq based on LIES made it happen.

LazySlipper Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Wow... I used to like Bruce but now I put him in the same category as most actors and singers. IMHO he is a poser just like the rest of them. Whether Trump or Clinton won matters little to me... but when I see people attacking each other as I have seen on "RT News..." Yeah I watch RT news... I can't believe that American democracy is under siege as it is. The guy won according to the rules of the states... I have now witnessed that there is no such thing as democracy. I can rest in peace. As far as I am concerned I will never stand in queue to meet a "star". I am too busy living my life rather than listen to, or be brainwashed by actors and singers who need scripts just to breathe air. I like Trump only for one reason. He was pegged a loser from the start but he won. I can't even recall how many times the f@#%$@#@#$ pc's (politically correct) jerks in my life did a Trump on me... and in the end most of them ended up being phonies and fakes. This song reminds me of "The Man who Couldn't Cry" by the late great Johnny Cash... cards are stacked against Trump. I am really curious to see what will happen next... whether he is great or not I don't care... I just hope he screws up all the PC'sa out there once and for all... screw 'em all sort 'em out later!!!

Wow! You were actually an adult in 2008? You must have some facinating stories. I wasn't even born then. But then, my ma and pa are only eleven. I wish you well. I really do.

The Clinton supporters are shocked because they know that they never got out there and did the leg work, just relied on good old progressive CA and NY being enough. It will take them a long time to get over it, but if these knuckleheads think that destroying property and hurting people is the way to go, it demonstrates where the progressives brains are, they are complete morons, scumbags. I think name calling is the hallmark of the kind of people you allege progressives to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with all this 'resistance' and carrying on like they're speaking for everyone is, they ain't. Millions of people voted the other way, remember Bruce, and (despite the Ruski hacking claims) he got in legitimately. Overlooking this and trashing the choice of others is just bad form. Millions more voted the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr0Yallow Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 2 hours ago, thequietman said: If memory serves, Bill Clinton deregulated Wall Street. Is that correct/ I could be wrong. Not entirely, Reagan eased bank regulations. In 1982, the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act was passed, which removed restrictions on loan-to-value ratios for Savings and Loan banks. Reagan's budget cut also reduced regulatory staff at the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. As a result, banks invested in risky real estate ventures (sound familiar?). Reagan's deregulation and budget cutting contributed to the Savings and Loan Crisis of 1989. Bush I single term did not do much. Clinton signed the repeal of the 1933 Glass-Steagall act which further gave banks a long free leash, as a result the banks continued to make even riskier real estate investments. Clinton gets the blame for the repeal of Glass-Steagall however we must remember he was faced with a veto proof republican congress. Then there was Bush II (shrub) who in his first year spent the huge surplus the Clinton administration left and put us in a negative spiral giving billions of dollars of revenue to billionaires via tax cuts then to top it off, he started a trillion dollar unfunded war essentially on a credit card against Iraq that was totally based on lies. This sir is how 3 presidents and congresses caused the 2008 collapse, looking into the future I fear we may see a greater depression on the horizon. as I understand the Great Depression was preceded by a great Recession, and this link shows the causes of both. http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/connections_n2/great_depression.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
