full stop. the Tea Party is not the same as the birthers. many birthers are probably tea partiers, but many of the 9/11 truthers were also democrats. that doesn't make Barack Obama a gibbering conspiracy theorist.
what wall street ponzi scheme?
yup. and he screwed up the recession, too. lots of people forget that Bush
started the bailouts and
started the "stimulus". don't get me wrong, i'm in favor of his first term foriegn policy; but his second term economic policy was atrocious. then Obama got into office and did all the same dumb things he had done; but on
crack.
that's what he gets for trusting the Fed. who also told us that the subprime market was "contained" right before Bear Stearns went up in flames.
the banks were. UAW was. wall street in general? not so much; which is why it tanked.
wall street gives you a 99% chance of being just fine at retirement. for anyone below the age of 50, as it currently exists, social security has roughly a 2% chance of being fine at retirement. but i'll amend the proposition; at age 65, if you like, you can turn your private account back over to the government and go right back on the old system. how about that?
:roll: the average American already invests in the market; that's what a 401(k), an IRA, the government's TSP, and pension plans
are. Money that is invested in the market to allow people to retire.
again, if you have any evidence of this, i would like to see it. I would especially like to know who's running this scheme; you always gotta have an entity on top; who has us all fooled by making us think that there are actually things like "companies" and "factories" and "commodities" in America?
oh; those things actually exist? and your claim here is ludicrous - the kind of crap a particularly facetious marxist says after a particularly hard toke?
gotit.
and you found free market advocates in opposition to every one of those. it was part of the political middle and the left of the day that supported those bailouts, not the political right. they
objectively made "wall street" worse in the long run.
