Fox fires Tucker Carlson

[TallTom]

You're giving Biden more credit than he's due. He's not raising the rates, the Fed is. An independent body, one of the few left.

Just listen to his clown of a press secretary then.

It all boils down to political parties. They both care more about the party than the country. The only time they get together is when someone challenges they’re system. Big business is no better, they don’t care about the country, the party’s, or the people, only the bottom line. I’m not smart enough to have many answers, but I do know what we are doing isn’t working.

[michael parris heuberger]

Anyone who took the defense budget and moved that to the deficit, could do the same. We didn't have more money as a nation. He just emptied out the huge account, thereby taking money away from things like defense spending. And paid down debt. It looks really good fiscally to have less debt. I never denied that. Meanwhile our GDP tanked and our military and security budgets left us vulnerable as a nation. Then the war on terror began after 9/11. So yeah we had to borrow our way back into strength.

It's sort of like the shell game Biden is playing now. We have to slow down the economy, by raising interest rates. Sounds great. Sucks to have to be on the receiving end of that policy. Each month they tell us how its working. Yeah, we are slowing spending, because we are freaking broke. If we can't afford something, you bet the economy slows.

But he will taut this an accomplishment. They will make him out to be a fiscal achiever too.

Its a pretty simple concept. America needs to produce more. Employ more people. And cut spending as a government.

Hi. Hold on there. Yes we have to cut spending on things that we do not need like the military, BUT we have to spend more on what the USA need like electric cars, trans gender identity and to pay people that do not want to work. So we do need to raised taxes on the rich. Then we could become perfect.

I agree with most of what you say here. I hope someone reasonable will challenge Biden but I'll vote for whoever the dem candidate is, for one reason only : they're not Trump.

That's what happened in the last election as well but the republicans had so much influence by Trump and his bellowing threats that they have handcuffed themselves for the next election.

Exactly. There are millions of people who feel just like I do. We won't vote for Biden, we'll vote against Trump.

Hi. I will vote for Biden. I think that he is the best President the USA has ever had. He has made more jobs than any one. I realy like his speaches he is so clear when he speaks.

[TallTom]

Yes, slick willie signed that Bill into law at the very end of his presidency? Where did the bill come from, presidents don't make bills, have we forgotten our Seasme street lessons already? What did the Congress and the next president do about it for 8 years? Not a damn thing!! Blaming the crash of 2008 on Bill Clinton is just as dumb as blaming it on Obama. We had 8 years to do something about it and let's not pretend that the Bush tax cuts and increased spending (2 wars, Home land defense, etc..) didn't help at all? I mean it's not rocket science. Increase spending, decrease income?? WTF did people think was gonna happen after 8 years of that crap?

Have you forgotten the VETO part of Sesame St? Have you forgotten that Clinton had a majority of both House and Senate being Democrat during his administration that introduced any Bills he signed or Vetoed.

And yes it totally set the stage for the crash. They let people with no business getting a mortgage, get a mortgage. Millions of them. Clintons words were something like "We want the disadvantaged to have access to the American dream of home ownership". Something like that. I don't have time to find that speech.

Bush Sr wasn't too bright a president. But he was bright enough to kick the can to dump it on Obama. Who promptly bailed them all out, and rewarded the bank execs with bonuses.

And yes our Sesame St lessons tell us if we cut spending we have more money in our pocket to use.

We all know how you'll vote. Your right of course (not you're right).

[TallTom]

But what if it's someone besides Trump?

[wreckwriter]

But what if it's someone besides Trump?

Then I'll listen to what they have to say. Hopefully not DeSantis but I would listen to Hutchinson or Haley, maybe Tim Scott.

[TallTom]

We have similar feelings. Anyone would be better than Biden.

[wreckwriter]

Anyone except Trump.

Bottom line is Clinton did a good job. Left us in good shape. War on terror? That’s a different kind of war that doesn’t require billions of dollars in military equipment.
He had his priorities in order.

Yeah it kind of does cost billions. How much have we spent on fighting terrorism? Start with a T number? How many lives has it cost?

And millions not only lost houses they couldn't afford in the first place. Got set back 10 years ever having a chance again.

But yeah we had paid down our deficit. Can't deny that.

You and I have a different value system we gauge with. And that's why America is so divided.

[MonkeyButtRides]

Have you forgotten the VETO part of Sesame St? Have you forgotten that Clinton had a majority of both House and Senate being Democrat during his administration that introduced any Bills he signed or Vetoed.

Vetos can be overridden, and I believe Newt Gingrich was speaker of the house at that time. Like many presidents, they walk with a majority, then mid terms come and they loose their party majority in congress. So, veto's aren't a guarantee and most likely the signing was part of a blood deal made with the other party. Probably part of the assault weapon band.

And yes it totally set the stage for the crash. They let people with no business getting a mortgage, get a mortgage. Millions of them. Clintons words were something like "We want the disadvantaged to have access to the American dream of home ownership". Something like that. I don't have time to find that speech.

I understand the bill but again I ask what did the incoming president do about for 8 years? NOTHING!!! What did congress do about it for 8 years??? NOTHING. There is no excuse sitting on something for 8 years and then blaming people that were in charge almost a decade ago. The left tends to overregulate the right tends to underregulate. Rarely do we strike a balance that actually helps the people. We need to stop picking sides and placing blame. Both parties are responsible for 2008 and the great recession. Period. There was plenty of time to avoid it.

Bush Sr wasn't too bright a president.

No he was not but I bet he would have been fun to party with. He made me laugh while he was dodging shoes and destroying the country for 8 years.

A VETO override has happened once. In 1792. And it took then, as it does now a 2/3 majority to do. And a VETO sends a clear message the feelings of the president.

And I'd venture a guess why it was not overturned is the crapload of $$ the banks were making in loan origination fees. The government backed the loans.

What could go wrong?!!?

So one thing I'm not clear on, which I'm sure I could google but I know a guy.... does the VETO go back to the House or the Senate or both? My guess is the Senate, but I might have missed that episode of Sesame Street. LOL

Both. Even then, it's pretty unheard of. The presidential VETO isn't meant to go back to be refereed again.

I won't get into if it would have gotten 2/3 in the house and senate but it doesn't change the facts. A republican led house birthed the bill and Democratic President signed it into law. It is what it is. I don't blame the right or left, I blame them both because they are both responsible and both sides played a role in some horrible legislation that led to the worse recession in the history of country.

BTW, the Trent Lott was a Republican Majority leader in the Senate and Newt Gingrich was the speaker of the house. Republicans ran congress the last 3 years of Clinton's presidency. But it's all Clintons fault eh...
