I actually disagree. Was listening to a Podcast on this yesterday by physicist J. Doyne Farmer. He is the Baillie Gifford Professor of Complex Systems Science at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University so he's not just some bum off the street. He also beat the casino in Roulette back in the early 80's so there's that.

He agrees that the crap you mention didn't help, but the true cause through his models were the complex mortgage instruments that rushed a gazillion dollars into the system.
I don’t think we have to disagree. What you stated was a factor .

But ask yourself, why was a gazillion dollars rushed into the mortgage lending market? Why the relatively quick need for it…..to fund what goal or program?


Then refer back to my post and you just might have the answer.
 
Catching up on the thread on my lunch break..... If Trump's plan was so catastrophic, why did the Biden administration (especially including the military and diplomatic personnel under his direction) not make corrections to the plan?

Biden wanted to appease the anti-war, pro-Taliban leftists, so he ordered a rushed withdrawal that left behind billions in materiel that massively aided the Taliban in quickly regaining control of the country. Don't try to spin this shit that what happened at Abbey Gate was Trump's fault. Only gullible sheep believe that.


Thank you. +1.
Trump also told Milley he was full of shit and lost respect for him after Milley told him it would be easier to leave that Equipment behind.

Pretty sure Trump also told the Taliban leader in a meeting, that if he touched one hair on any of our soldiers during the withdraw that he would blow him up and dropped a picture of the Taliban leaders home on the table before walking out of the room. Like a Boss.
 
Trump's got zero to do with this smoking hot economy and stock market.
He left it in shambles. Only President in 80 years to leave office with less jobs created than when he came into office. 🤡

Kamalanomics baby!!!!
Please state what Kamala has done to improve the economy. Thanks
 
Well, they probably weren't threatening other students, smashing in windows, pooping in the common areas, and throwing their trash everywhere, so...

(Other than West Lafayette, IN (Purdue), Columbus is the worst place/scene/campus in the Big 10. And that is saying a LOT, because Big10 towns are, by and large, horrible. And it goes w/o saying, Big10 fans are bottom tier.
Dude, Seriously...Bloomington, Indiana is better? Newark, NJ Even?

But wasn't it the risky mortgages that led to the ridiculous default numbers, which exposed the false ratings on those MBS packages. Had the mortgages been properly vetted, and legit, then it wouldn't have gone down the crapper like it did.
 
It really gives you a warm feeling, doesn't it? Knowing that your tax dollars are going to help those in need.
It just warms my heart that Biden/Harris are helping out these desperate souls.

You go Kamala! Keep America safe from our enemies by giving them more money.

And I'm also looking right at you Barrack O...you worthless piece of Iranian loving S***!
 
“President Biden’s choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor,” the White House summary states, noting that when Biden entered office, “the Taliban were in the strongest military position that they had been in since 2001, controlling or contesting nearly half of the country.”
False.
 
It’s killing me you shit for brains asshole. My income has declined by 85% under this shit administration. The last two years I have done nothing but live off the money I saved up while Trump was president.
Do you sell Trump merch for a living?? All kidding aside, what the hell do you do for a living that has declined that much? 😬
I have buddies involved in insurance, factory sprinkler installation, Import/Export and big business HVAC.
They are ALL KILLING it right now. No BS. RECORD sales and profits.

Sounds like you need to reevaluate the direction of whatever you do for a living and hop on one of these growth sectors.
Hope it gets better for you.

"In 2023, almost 5.5 million new applications were filed, which was higher than the 2021 record of 5.41 million. The rate of new business applications has more than doubled since 2012."

These are some businesses/jobs you might wanna look at if you want a job in a red hot market or high needs area with pretty good pay. Might need some training to get in.






 

Look at what all shuttered at San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf. Place is almost a ghost town now. Iconic decades old restaurants shuttered.

As for Buffet. I assume he's cashing out partly because of what's coming, but the dude is also 93 years old. Maybe the other half is him taking his prize money and going home. Maybe he wants to distribute it to his heirs in the form of cash as opposed to a large complex stock portfolio. I don't pretend to know, that's just my perceptions based on his age.

Of course you cant see the difference between a voluntary exchange of money for goods vs an involuntary hidden tax on the American people.
So these Bibles are going for 5 bucks.... But Trump is charging his cult 60 bucks.
Tell me again about this exchange. 😂😂

Now why would Democrats want to do this?
🫤
Would it be illegal to buy a GMC Sierra 1500 with a 8'2" bed and meander over to, say, Pennsylvania, on or shortly before election day and put ballot drop boxes in the back of it? How many boxes could I get in a 89 cubic feet bed? Would you need to buy more than one and take a friend or two?

Asking for a friend.

100%... but it wasn't just the government forcing banks to do that. There were institutions willing to buy those mortgages with no issues because even if a default occurs, you'd take over an appreciating asset. So they didn't necessarily need the government to push that. Then the bottom fell out and everybody was screwed.
 










Awesome. Now, tell us what Harris - Biden did to help the economy. TIA.

But the government assured the banks that they would guarantee those mortgage originations. So, it seems to me, the problem DID start with the government. IOW, they pushed the first domino over.

Its a willing bargained for exchange even if its a bad one. Much different than a government shadow taxing generations of Americans because they are incompetent and criminal.
 
Biden followed Trump's withdrawal plan. Trump had been warned that his plan was catastrophic. Everyone at State and in the military warned him what would happen, but there's only Trump's Way with him. That's what he does with everything. He pretends to genius when things go well and betrayal by others when they go bad.
So... Biden ACTUALLY withdrew the troops. Thanks, that's what I thought. You're dismissed.
 
You can't have a bandwagon fallacy when talking about democracy lol. That's literally what it is, formalized gauging of public opinion. You spit out these cliches without having any idea what they mean. It's hilarious.
That's your response? Pathetic. You concede everything I said including the logical fallacy. Brilliant, Einstein!
