FFS. Rate of increase goes down as the amounts become larger when talking about the deficit and spending.I guess it's time to once again point out that...............
The rate of increase in deficit spending is ALWAYS less under Democratic administrations.
Trump not only continues that trend but solidifies it. That was true even before Covid-19.
Tl;dr
Capitalism let's things, people, ideas, fail. There is no "too big to fail" or "no child left behind" or "social blankets".
Under capitalism you can expect people, ideas, things to fall thru the cracks. You can expect the whole system to go thru highs and lows. Its mimicking the natural cycle of life. And over the long term that allows things to naturally evolve into a better thing. And it's all driven by things internal to the system going thru natural processes, highs and lows. In a perfect capitalistic system your place in the world is driven almost entirely by what you do. Corporation gets greedy and just pays dividends to shareholders then faces economic calamity, it falls. Down with the greedy. If someone applies themselves and creates something nice they get to profit, no matter their skin color or upbringing. Capitalism doesnt care, it's a process.
Our government (socialism) has inserted any number of corruptions into the system. Red tapes that favor corporations vs small guys, keeping the small small, and the big big. Bailouts, handouts, subsidies, again favor the big vs the small. Taxes again favor the big vs the small just like individual taxes do. Because the government, socialism, tied itself to these big guys it has become inter-dependent on each other. To the point it's hard to say who is buying who. And that means we now have corporations, and government entities " too big to fail". That's all because of socialism. Under capitalism the government wouldnt care one iota if Delta failed because they refuse to reinvest money in its company.
And thus Deltas hypothetical misdoings wouldnt be tied to the public support and those who.made bad decisions would be punished with failure. That begins to create a pattern of bad behavior being punished, and good behavior rewarded, all without trying public interests into it.
Instead, what we have because of the government performing socialistic interventions is that the bad behavior never gets punished. The natural cycle never completes, and we are stuck on the edge of collapse. Technically socialism should be able to fix the issues, but we have seen time and again it's easier for the government to literally just make up money than deal with reality and allow the bad behaviors to be punished. Why? Because they are getting kick backs, donations, cushy jobs for them and their family.
So instead of small corrections under capitalism we get apocalyptic socialist responses like shutting down the economy then trying to pretend we didnt with trillion dollar stimulus checks. That again dont actually fix the underlying problem, so once one batch of made up money is gone, the problem comes back. And the government and idiots who dont understand the situation act shocked and say well we have to do "something, for the greater good". Ignoring that it was similar measures that got us here.
I would much prefer the small pain of capitalism vs economy ending disasters of socialism.
Depends how you calculate it.Obama added between 7-9 trillion dollars to the debt.... do you honestly consider that moving in the right direction?
My bad. I thought she said that in late January.
IIRC the Senate attempt to further fund this was blocked.
One economist called him George Bush III because he and W were so similar. It's almost comical how people are so convinced their party is right when there's so little difference between them. The two parties have done a magnificent job of stamping out creative thinking and keeping everyone in an endless argument on various social issues they they couldn't truly care less about. They will always agree that more debt is great and keep the masses distracted with debating where people can piss and who can or cannot marry each other.Obama added between 7-9 trillion dollars to the debt.... do you honestly consider that moving in the right direction?
Nice. Post more often.One economist called him George Bush III because he and W were so similar.

What name do you give it?
Then name education, parks and rec., courts and prisons, and roads and bridges.
I'm always willing to learn some new vocabulary.
Your refusal to see it for what it is makes you look like an even bigger ****ing idiot.
Louder getting hype for Justin Amash's announcement.Tl;dr

Ours is pretty good. I just feel there are a couple of things that need to move a little more in the socialistic direction. Health care being the primary one. Also some further adjustments to the tax code are needed.
The biggest flaw in our economy is with wealth distribution. Just as with the debt, we are heading in the wrong direction and it is not sustainable.
I don’t care what these news reports say..... I view most news as being half truths...... just like the news saying that Elon musk didn’t donate the ventilators that he said he would buy.... he came out today and provided the email confirmations, receipts, and everything else to make the journalists look like idiots once again.Apparently that one didn’t.
Then there is this discrepancy... Conflicts between some local coroners and Pennsylvania's health department over COVID-19 deaths
And this one... Coronavirus: 700 residents in Ohio long-term care facilities have COVID-19, deaths not disclosed
Oh, and what did you say about adequate tracking?...Thousands have died in nursing homes around the U.S. But the federal gov't isn’t tracking them.
It doesn’t matter the amount.... is even the lowest amount good?Depends how you calculate it.
How Much Did Obama Add to the Nation's Debt?
I just think it's significant enough to occasional point out.Such a ridiculous place to plant a flag of moral superiority. Deficits are bad.
My daughter's rate of sexual assault is Always less when she is attending GT instead of UGA. See??? Ridiculous.
