Elizabeth Warren admits economy need be "rebuilt"

zimmer said:
She realizes the economy requires rebuilding... That kills the notion Obamanomics worked.

I'll be interested to see if she means it. Whether she will put Greenie regulations ahead of people.

I don't think Warren was ever really in line with Obama (or Clinton) on economics.

And I think she's right in line with them.

If anything, Pocahontas is in fact even further Left of them... if that's possible!

Watch for the economic enticement fed to blue collar workers to vote for Trump to be ignored and never see the light of day. This includes
*** a 35 percent tariff on foreign goods brought into the USA
*** measures to prevent corporations from taking American jobs elsewhere
*** protecting American workers in renegotiated trade agreements
*** slowing down globalization
*** hundreds of billions for infrastructure improvements

These things were simply one big tease to get blue collar anger on his side. Now he will simply follow the Republican agenda in things like cutting corporate taxes, cutting taxes on he wealthy, deregulating aspects of the economy, rolling back Wall Street laws, and other red meat for the right.

Meet the new Republican boss - same as the old Republican boss.

See, I dont have to rely on stale Democrat talking points to defend my ideology. I simply put forth the time and effort to inform myself. For example, I know the Subprime crisis wasn't the fault of one man, of one party and didn't start and stop in the last 2 years of Bush's Presidency.

I know its roots stretch all the way back to the Clinton administration and that the GSEs basically drug the American economy and the world economy down with them when they were declared insolvent.

I also know better than to buy into Obama's jobs numbers, or the silly narrative that he pulled us back from the brink.

Just FYI, the FED doesn't implement unprecedented monetary stimulus and zero interest rate policies when the economy is in good shape, or even when there's a strong recovery in progess. For the last 8 years they've felt the need to drive target rates down to zero and keeep them there.

I know Obama's jobs numbers are and have been essentially propaganda, put out by a dishonest administration to appease the uniformed. Trump didn't flip the rust belt states because the economy is or has ever been on the mend under Obama.

His policies had the expected result on a economy that really neeeded a competent leader that understood how Free market economies function.

It was one big wet blanket of tax increases, added regulations and mandates through ObamaCare that wound up hurting the MiddleClass the most.

Sure, Trump destroyed the Democratic party partly for who they chose to run against him, but this election was also a absolute rebuke of the last 8 years of Obama's destructive agenda and his legacy.

See the following. ...

I don't care how you want to polish the turd nor who you want to blame for the turn being a turd. But the deny that Obama inherited on hell of a massive dump is an understatement. You can continue living in la la land and create your own judgements based-on dubious facts and personal bias. Me, I choose not to. I know the crisis was years in the making and there was plenty of blame to go around. That does not negate what happened.

Would we need tariffs to bring jobs back, if we excise the difference paid in wages in less developed economies, up to our federal minimum wage. Our fixed Standard should also apply to expatriate firms, to reduce the incentive to move for merely, cheap labor.

Trump himself used foreign labour for his own businesses and investments, but that was not enough the deter the Walmart crowd.

It won't.

Now they can kill the estate tax, which will create a de facto royalty.

I used to think they wanted to go back to the antebellum era, but it looks like even that is too modern for them.

Teh estate tax is immoral on so many levels.

Oh. So Kansas has 4.4% unemployment, but it's a disaster because it has a deficit.

That's an interesting take. I can't imagine how much of a disaster you think President Obama has been. Given that the key metric, apparently, is the deficit....

Its education system and infrastructure are crumbling.
Remember when you people thought deficits were bad?

No, for-profit healthcare is immoral on so many levels. Estate taxes help slow the rise of permanent plutocracy.
 
I'd trust a lobotomized homeless person with the economy before I left it in the hands of Eliabeth "Pocahontas" Warren.

It's a good thing she's not advocating a dictatorship.
