I think one thing that is pretty clear, at least to me, is that during Clinton's time in office the economy did very well because a little thing called The Internet suddenly appeared and created many jobs out of nowhere and it gave many others ways to make extra money in their spare time.Yes Crockett, and that reason's name is Newt Gingrich. What's the debt at right now? If you believe Bill Clinton was in any way responsible, sorry but you're mistaken. Bill sure likes to try to take the credit for that. Get real dude. It's hilarious that you believe that you are 100% right, and that Paul Markham doesn't understand what's going on.
I'm curious Crockett, what are your sources of news? The ClintonNewsNetwork? Or maybe MSNBC which is owned by Comcast, a major donor to the Clintons? Do you even read wikileaks? Or is that just fake Russian propaganda? I'll say this as nicely as I can: Crockett, you are 90% clueless about world politics.
Bill, Newt, fucking Bilbo Baggins, it didn't really matter who was in charge so long as they sat by and let we nerds do our thing.Comment

Right and wrong. You only have two parties because Americans only vote for two parties. Allowing big money to buy 1 out of 2 politicians in every seat. Because no one has the balls to not vote for those who aren't backed. Then when they don't do as told to by the voters, they drop them out of power.You don't seem to understand how politics work in the US Paul. You keep saying vote for only 2 parties. Money is the issue in American politics Paul. We have other parties but if they were in power, they would do the exact same things the current ones do.
Money buys politicians. It doesn't matter what team they play for. Money is what causes things to happen at both state and federal level. It wasn't always so bad at the state level, but it is now..
Money only buys politicians it can only buy stupid voters. Vote Green, Socialists, communist and send a message to the billionaires that the USA isn't for sale.Comment

The problem with US Healthcare is. It's in the hands of shareholders.So..... uhmm... for what has been spent on heathcare to set up Obama Care, you could have had $3,000,000.00 USD in a personal bank account along with every single other US Citizen, but your Dear Leader chose to waste it all instead on a multi-billion dollar fiasco called Obama Care that is failing miserably. But yeah "you have no money for healthcare"... you just need government to step in an "fix it" again for you with a few billion more dollars! Not to put $3,000,000.00 more dollars into a personal account for you and every citizen... but to give it to insiders who get no bid contracts if you're friends with Michelle Obama and charge tax payers 100X the going rates for programming and development since it's just tax payer money anyway.
The greatest liberal lie of all with respect to healthcare is that insurance companies are the problem. The most heavily regulated industry in this nation... is the problem. Now there democrats have created a market where they can't even compete in and remain profitable and were forced to withdraw their participation... Ugh. Simpletons.
The rest of the Modern World provides better healthcare for far far less. The problem Obama had was getting Healthcare into the 21st Century. We've had 100% Free at the Point of use State Owned Healthcare in Europe since the mid-1900s.Comment

Imagine the jobless total without that extra borrowing.he may have meant that Obama administration increased national debt by close to 10 TRILLLION, which comes out to about 100k per household... (a bit less than he stated, but the point remains them same)
do you feel that that money was spent wisely? that you got more than $100k benefit out of it? or if given the choice, would you rather take a $100k check to spend as you wish, or would you spend it same way that Obama administration did?
If the money is spent in the US, it provides jobs, taxes and more jobs and taxes. Of course, you could always pay enough taxes to cover the costs to run a modern country. Let's face it you're willing to buy cheap Thrid World goods, constant migration from Third World Countries, that put Americans out of work. So why not pay the lower costs of Unemployment Benefits.
Again the real problem. Blinkered short sighted view of the political system. I'm sure Trump got a lot of votes by promising to cut taxes.Comment

The present World Trade/Migration/PoliticalModel is unsustainable.
The present World Trade/Migration/PoliticalModel is unsustainable.
In 20-30 years the jobs that are left in the First World will either be done by machines, low skilled/paid workers or a few high skilled/high paid workers. The taxes raised from wages will shrink to a level that'as unable to pay the costs of running a country. Especially one with very high unemployment.
Encouraging businesses to be in the First World will be pointless unless those companies are prepared to pay very high levels of taxes. They will be constantly minimising the workforce.
50% of the Wests population are of working age. Forget about whether they are in or out of work. They have to provide the tax revenues to pay for all the things we take for granted and 100,000s of jobs.
The big problem is can we afford to pay for all these people?


There will be one class that will be far better off, that's the one's who buy our politicians.
Until we stop voting for people who will fuck us over. They will continue to fuck us over.

Yes it fucking matters.. what happened as soon as Bush came into office. He took what was going to be used to finish balancing the national debt and handed out $500 checks then started two wars (1 was 100% avoidable) and bankrupted the economy. Then borrowed massive amounts of money for bail outs half of which he pushed into Obama's First year Budget.I think one thing that is pretty clear, at least to me, is that during Clinton's time in office the economy did very well because a little thing called The Internet suddenly appeared and created many jobs out of nowhere and it gave many others ways to make extra money in their spare time.

What do you have? ABC told me blah blah blah? Borrowers that can't afford to pay? I use to co-own a mortgage brokerage so I do know a few things about that. If someone was getting a "no doc or stated income" loan it means they had a really high credit score otherwise they wouldn't even be offered it. And even then the term "no doc or stated income" is silly. These would generally be self-employed people who had to provide more documents than a W-2'ed person such as bank statements for 2-3 years, income tax returns etc, etc. Truth be told they were always the better borrower because they had flexibility in their income over a fixed income.PLEASE WAIT WHILE BIDEN ADMIN UNINSTALLS ITSELF.....

Even Soros's money would have been unable to service the CDO's. They were over priced. If he had left all his money in. The debt would have been lower. He would have been broke along with a few others. If there had been no run on the banks. The entire collapse would have come later and cost us far more.
I think you should study how these markets work.
A $ is only worth a $ if someone is willing to give you a $'s worth of value for it. So when people start selling a $ for $1.50 and the $ is only a piece of paper saying "I promise to pay the bearer a $". someone will eventually catch on that they're paying $1.50 for a piece of paper.
Soros's money wouldn't have stopped it.

Just as a point of clarity. Bill Clinton had nothing to do with creating the law that gave mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. That program had been around since the 70's and it had worked great for 20+ years. The law said that companies who gave out mortgages had to give a small number of mortgages to underqualified buyers. These were the subprime mortgages etc. It worked because the banks were careful with who they picked to give these mortgages to because if the person defaulted on it that bank (and likely that specific branch of the bank) would have to deal with it and it is a pain in the ass. So, they picked candidates carefully and had a very low default rate.Bill is guilty of creating a scheme where people who couldn't afford a mortgage got one. Those mortgages were then changing hands on the Markets for more than their face value.
He's also guilty of signing a trade deal that fucked America.
Bush is guilty of two unwinnable wars and allowing the markets to sell debt at more than the debt.
Obama is guilty of allowing the shareholders to keep over charging for healthcare. Guilty of going to more unwinnable wars. How much of those decisions rested on the two houses?
Clinton signed into a law a bill that deregulated the banks and allowed savings and loan style banks to sell investment products just like investment banks. Before this was not allowed to happen. Suddenly, the savings and loan banks realized they had something of real value, these mortgages, and investors wanted them so they started selling them like crazy. When they ran out, they wanted more so they used the law that allowed them to hand out subprime mortgages to hand out tons of them then turn around and resell them to others often within 48 hours of the papers being signed.Comment

When they ran out, they wanted more so they used the law that allowed them to hand out subprime mortgages to hand out tons of them then turn around and resell them to others often within 48 hours of the papers being signed.
Under Clinton's Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary, Andrew Cuomo, Community Reinvestment Act regulators gave banks higher ratings for home loans made in "credit-deprived" areas. Banks were effectively rewarded for throwing out sound underwriting standards and writing loans to those who were at high risk of defaulting. If banks didn't comply with these rules, regulators reined in their ability to expand lending and deposits.
These new HUD rules lowered down payments from the traditional 20 percent to 3 percent by 1995 and zero down-payments by 2000. What's more, in the Clinton push to issue home loans to lower income borrowers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made a common practice to virtually end credit documentation, low credit scores were disregarded, and income and job history was also thrown aside. The phrase "subprime" became commonplace. What an understatement.
Next, the Clinton administration's rules ordered the taxpayer-backed Fannie and Freddie to expand their quotas of risky loans from 30 percent of portfolio to 50 percent as part of a big push to expand home ownership.
Fannie and Freddie were securitizing these home loans and offering 100 percent taxpayer guarantees of repayment. So now taxpayers were on the hook for these risky, low down-payment loans.
Tragically, when prices fell, lower-income folks who really could not afford these mortgages under normal credit standards, suffered massive foreclosures and personal bankruptcies. So many will never get credit again. It's a perfect example of liberals using government allegedly to help the poor, but the ultimate consequences were disastrous for them.
Additionally, ultra-easy money from the Fed also played a key role. Rates were held too low for too long in 2002-2005, which created asset price bubbles in housing, commodities, gold, oil, and elsewhere. When the Fed finally tightened, prices collapsed. So did mortgage collateral (homes) and mortgage bonds that depended on the collateral.
Many bond packages were written to please Fannie and Freddie, based on the fantastical idea that home prices would never fall. Fannie and Freddie, by the way, cost the taxpayers $187 billion.
Just to make this story worse, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama voted to filibuster a Republican effort to roll back Fannie and Freddie. But on top of all this, while Hillary was propping up Fannie and Freddie, she was taking contributions from their foundations..
Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

Are you really this dumb? Democrat's "can't get elected". Umm Hello.. Bill Clinton won by a landslide. Obama won by a landslide.. Why? Because they were popular with the voters..Still doesn't get it.
Democrats can't get elected because Americans are unwilling to pay what it costs to run their own country and ensure the economic future of America.
Trump has shown you what you can do by voting out both parties. He promised to cut migration and bring jobs back.
Look at Barry's comment to show you the problem. Will he pay a lot more taxes to improve education, pay benefits and employ all those street cleaners?
No, he won't even buy a phone made in the US by an American because it costs too much.
If we want politicians to do what's best for us. They have to fear us. And guns won't do that. Votes will. Hillary has no fear of us what so ever.
Al Gore won the popular vote. Hillary won the popular vote the only Democrat since the fucking 80's not to win the popular vote was Kerry. You literally have no fucking idea what dumb shit you are spewing.
Popular vote = the number of people voting meaning since the 80's Democrats have only lost the people's vote 1 fucking time. That means since the 80's Democrats have won the majority vote every damn election except 1. That's nearly 30 fucking years of win..


Now lets look at what all 3 of these had in common. Gore, Kerry & Clinton. None of them were break always or really energized the people. They were just average compared to candidates like Bill Clinton or Obama. That is the reason they lost.
The DNC handed the election to Trump when they decided to fuck over Sanders who you guessed it "energized" the people. Sanders would have fucking curb stomped Trump. He was neck and neck with Hillary even with the DNC fucking him at every turn..
The only reason Trump is now the POTUS is because the DNC tried to push a unwanted candidate, not because they "couldn't win". They could've won but failed to realize how bad of a choice Hillary was. Trump didn't win because he was good, he won because Hillary was that bad..
You seriously have no clue about US politics.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

I never said Clinton shared no blame in this. I was simply clarifying that Clinton didn't create the program that forced mortgage lenders to give mortgages to underqualified buyers. The actual program that put these subprime mortgages in play and got lower income people buying houses started in the 70's then increased some in the 80's. Clinton then made it even easier to give these loans out. Add in a little deregulation that can turn those mortgages into a product that can be bought and sold on the open market and you have a recipe for disaster.The seeds of the mortgage meltdown were planted during Bill Clinton's presidency.
Under Clinton's Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary, Andrew Cuomo, Community Reinvestment Act regulators gave banks higher ratings for home loans made in "credit-deprived" areas. Banks were effectively rewarded for throwing out sound underwriting standards and writing loans to those who were at high risk of defaulting. If banks didn't comply with these rules, regulators reined in their ability to expand lending and deposits.
These new HUD rules lowered down payments from the traditional 20 percent to 3 percent by 1995 and zero down-payments by 2000. What's more, in the Clinton push to issue home loans to lower income borrowers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made a common practice to virtually end credit documentation, low credit scores were disregarded, and income and job history was also thrown aside. The phrase "subprime" became commonplace. What an understatement.
Next, the Clinton administration's rules ordered the taxpayer-backed Fannie and Freddie to expand their quotas of risky loans from 30 percent of portfolio to 50 percent as part of a big push to expand home ownership.
Fannie and Freddie were securitizing these home loans and offering 100 percent taxpayer guarantees of repayment. So now taxpayers were on the hook for these risky, low down-payment loans.
Tragically, when prices fell, lower-income folks who really could not afford these mortgages under normal credit standards, suffered massive foreclosures and personal bankruptcies. So many will never get credit again. It's a perfect example of liberals using government allegedly to help the poor, but the ultimate consequences were disastrous for them.
Additionally, ultra-easy money from the Fed also played a key role. Rates were held too low for too long in 2002-2005, which created asset price bubbles in housing, commodities, gold, oil, and elsewhere. When the Fed finally tightened, prices collapsed. So did mortgage collateral (homes) and mortgage bonds that depended on the collateral.
Many bond packages were written to please Fannie and Freddie, based on the fantastical idea that home prices would never fall. Fannie and Freddie, by the way, cost the taxpayers $187 billion.
Just to make this story worse, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama voted to filibuster a Republican effort to roll back Fannie and Freddie. But on top of all this, while Hillary was propping up Fannie and Freddie, she was taking contributions from their foundations.Comment

All your bright young things will compete with Chinese workers and companies.Right, I wish you well too -- unemployable one.
Just don't get it, do you ... Talented people with today's skills have todays good jobs. In twenty years there will be new job titles and only the able will have those jobs. And many people will still be whining ...
Lots of people are making money in the Western World and will be making money in the future -- because they know how to.
Assuming billionaires will create well-paying jobs in the West. Displays a level of naivety that beggars belief. Especially from a man who creates jobs overseas for lower paid workers than girls in the US.
If the Internet was restricted to only the country the consumer was in. You would be hiring Americans for American consumers. British for British consumers. Your French girls must do best in French-speaking countries.
The skills level is irrelevant. Chinese Nuclear Scientists compete with US/British Nuclear Scientists. And that goes right down to importing toilet cleaners from the Third World to work cheaper the Western ones.Comment

So it was Clinton.Just as a point of clarity. Bill Clinton had nothing to do with creating the law that gave mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. That program had been around since the 70's and it had worked great for 20+ years. The law said that companies who gave out mortgages had to give a small number of mortgages to underqualified buyers. These were the subprime mortgages etc. It worked because the banks were careful with who they picked to give these mortgages to because if the person defaulted on it that bank (and likely that specific branch of the bank) would have to deal with it and it is a pain in the ass. So, they picked candidates carefully and had a very low default rate.
Clinton signed into a law a bill that deregulated the banks and allowed savings and loan style banks to sell investment products just like investment banks. Before this was not allowed to happen. Suddenly, the savings and loan banks realized they had something of real value, these mortgages, and investors wanted them so they started selling them like crazy. When they ran out, they wanted more so they used the law that allowed them to hand out subprime mortgages to hand out tons of them then turn around and resell them to others often within 48 hours of the papers being signed.Comment

Clinton basically put a few things into motion that allowed several bad things to finally get together. Then Bush got into the White House and found the economy lagging to he dropped interest rates to the floor which spurred the housing industry and allowed banks to basically hand out subprime mortgages that had introductory rates that were very low. Of course, five years later, when the rates had gone back up some and the rates of those mortgages changed a lot of people found their house payments doubling and even tripling and everything crashed and burned.
So Clinton got the ball rolling then Bush kicked it into the goal.Comment

Then why don't they dominate the two houses? Who were able to block Obama and would have blocked Clinton. How many Reps vs Dems politicians are there in the two houses? One minute you tell me the Republicans kept blocking Obama, now you imply they aren't getting elected because Democrats win by a landslide. Make up your mind.Are you really this dumb? Democrat's "can't get elected". Umm Hello.. Bill Clinton won by a landslide. Obama won by a landslide.. Why? Because they were popular with the voters..
Al Gore won the popular vote. Hillary won the popular vote the only Democrat since the fucking 80's not to win the popular vote was Kerry. You literally have no fucking idea what dumb shit you are spewing
I understand the thing about Hillary being the worse candidate possible. She barely beat Trump in the popular vote and if that was what decided the result. Both would have campaigned differently.
You seriously have no clue about US politics.

It's the Governments job to regulate these gamblers. Not hand them the tools to bankrupt us. The problem is the money they donate and the need for some sort of industry to keep GDP and the economy from tanking.I never said Clinton shared no blame in this. I was simply clarifying that Clinton didn't create the program that forced mortgage lenders to give mortgages to underqualified buyers. The actual program that put these subprime mortgages in play and got lower income people buying houses started in the 70's then increased some in the 80's.

Add in a little deregulation that can turn those mortgages into a product that can be bought and sold on the open market and you have a recipe for disaster.
Nice to see you agree with me that it was Clinton's fault.
Now let's discuss his other big fuck up. The Trade Deals that signed away the jobs of those workers who he gave mortgages to.Comment
