The Supreme Court of the United States Thread

What? The Great Depression started in '29. Sort of hard to blame that on FDR.

True, FDR didn’t create the depression. He took advantage of it.

And lasted until 41 because of his bad policies. Would you have given any Republican president a pass on a 12 year depression?

 

[luthervol]

It was working, it was weeding out those that couldn’t survive the dip.

Maybe so. Most presidents err on the side of the American farmer.

I noticed you ignored the first part of that. So burning food and paying farmers to not produce food, that doesn’t create a need for food?

It decreases the surplus.

No they don’t, holy **** you couldn’t be more wrong.

You’re getting warmer. When you don’t have a surplus of food, you now have a “need” for food?

Should they err on the side of the American farmer? You guys seem to be unappreciative of FDR's attempts.

Why would anyone be appreciative of the expansion of government? I'm sure he had the FFs spinning in their graves.

No, they should let the market work. FDR started the farm subsidy programs and they have been an unparalleled disaster. Farmers become slaves and the taxpayers get artificially low food.

Do you understand what surplus means? If you decrease the surplus, you still have a surplus - just less of one.

 

[luthervol]

Because that expansion benefits them and others in a much needed way?
Hamilton would have been cheering him on.

Odd....so why 6 years after "decreasing the surplus of food" did FDR need to implement food stamps?

Given he only created "less of a surplus", why was there now a greater need?

Because people were out of work and could not afford food.
Which is completely different than there being no food available.

 

[hog88]

Even the NYTs calls FDRs policy a disaster and when the NYTs criticizes a Dem icon like FDR you know his policy was bad.

An expanded federal government doesn't help the people, it just creates a new king to be beholden to, and robs citizens of basic freedoms. It also steps on the ability of states to self govern as was originally intended, but Lincoln had already done that.

Because of FDRs idiotic policy.

 

[Vol8188]

Because people were out of work and could not afford food.

Yet the depression started in 1929? So why was it only a decade later that people could not afford food?

Maybe....just maybe, was it because someone was paying farmers to not produce food?

I have a higher regard for government than you guys and less regard for free market capitalism than you guys.

 

[hog88]

I have a higher regard for government than you guys and less regard for free market capitalism than you guys.

I’m completely shocked at this revelation. Tell us more about you we don’t already know….

 

[Weezer]

I have a higher regard for government than you guys and less regard for free market capitalism than you guys.

Mostly because you're a sheep looking to be led.

 

[Vol8188]

Why would you have less regard for free markets?

 

[luthervol]

Maybe....just maybe, was it because someone was paying farmers to not produce food?

Nope. There was no shortage of food. How would a food stamp program create more food? It only creates more demand.
If there is already a shortage, why create more demand?

 

[luthervol]

Why would you have less regard for free markets?

Because you guys have way to much.
