Let's see. I provide stats and data. You provide insults and name calling.
Seems, all you contribute is the junior high school mentality to any discussion on this forum.
How about you try providing something other than a name call and try to contribute something tangible to the topic. Try some facts and stats to back your argument. I don't think I've ever seen you do that. But as soon as someone else does you do your best to have them decide this forum is not worth their time nor the dumbing down of their mentality you make it for them.
You sir are a perfect example of what is wrong in this country today. Someone had a different viewpoint and instead of discussing it an trying to educate them on your side you hurl insults and call names.
^^ wow, except for calling out buttwipe for his usual drive you mentality I didn't call anyone names. And yes, I did state facts, the recession of 08 was caused by policies put into place by Nazis like Barney(I didn't know my roommate was a pimp) Frank, you remember, the housing act where everyone gets a mortgage wether they're qualified or not. Further compounded by the auto makers who through years of bending over for the unions put themselves in financial insolvency this causing a market correction. If you want to call it a "Great recession", which it was'nt then blame it on who was at fault, the Nazis. The only reason folks thought it was so bad was because a bunch of sad sacks lost their homes because they either didn't qualify for a mortgage in the first place or the used their home's equity and spent it like drunken sailors.
^^^ a graduate of Trump University no doubt.. Deregulating the Wall Street Banksters will only hasten the next debacle. Face the facts, Capitalism has failed, at least the one-sided Capitalism that's killed the Unions and deregulated workers rights back to the 1900's..
You have 47 million people who qualify for government assistance, many of these people hold jobs with substandard wages and no benefits. 63% of American households don't have the money to cover a thousand dollar emergency.
US Government Accountability Office (GAO) – Says that as many as half of all households with Americans 55 and older have no retirement savings at all. Nothing...
Predatory Capitalism is failing before your eyes and you come up with some statistics about a Stock Market high that means little to the average American.
You seem to take real joy in Venezuela miseries, we're not far behind them, Trump policies are going to take US right back to the good old days..

-------------- History is no more than the lies agreed upon by the victors.
47 million on government assistance, yes, this number grew substantially during Buster's reign of terror. When you drive jobs away and make it easier to get welfare it's bound to happen.
Half of all households have no retirement savings sucks to be them but maybe if they'd forgone a few of the luxuries like cable, internet, thousand dollars phones etc they'd have something.
Predatory capitalism? Maybe if you hadn't spent your entire working life in the public sector or publicly regulated sector you'd think (sorry, I laugh a bit when I envision you trying that) a bit differently. I guess their are the ones that live life safely, no chances taken, no imagination. For them I guess that's alright but it's gotten to a point where through nothing more than pure jealousy that folks like you think you're owed. No one owes you a damned thing in this life.
Taking joy in Venezuela's plight? Damned right, these people are finally getting educated to the fact that socialism leads to dictatorships. Maduro couldn't even cheat right without getting caught, a million extra votes? The people of Venezuela need to storm the castles and take all the politicians that exposed this socialist ideology and hang them in a public square. My hopes they will.
As for unions, they have never done a damned thing for me, absolutely nothing. I take to the caucuses in the future to find and nominate candidates that will make Minnesota a right to work state
^^obviously home-schooled by Betsy DeVos—Trump policy is geared toward the wealthy, for the wealthy, by the wealthy, this trickle-down has never worked, it will never work...a debt based economy collapses under it's own weight. Money in the pockets of those who do the work is what drives a healthy Capitalist economy! Right to work laws are only a race to the bottom for wages and benefits for the workers as well as a healthy economy.
^^ I imagine a McJob is at the upper limits of skills for a union member of your caliber. My numbers are up, way up. I hope the President continues on with his agenda.
Here's something else for you to chew on, seems like the Nazis are a little like Madura, can't even cheat right
Cheney was the true President under Bush Jr., Pence is the true President under Trumpdickulous of which only wanted to pull a Palin and make millions selling a reality show, books and speeches to the zombies on the radical right, the 35% that still support him..
35% of 120 million that voted in 2016 is 42 million and those 42 million will buy his crap and place it all next to their bible..
Remember boys and girls,
