The bad part is that sometimes you really don't want to support a Candidate like say Donald Trump, but your only real opturn turns out to be Joe Biden?  Why he does get out a coherent sentence I simply can't stomach it, and the other is a narcissistic bully.  Sometimes all you can do is hold on and hope for better choices later.  For all the talk of Presidents budgets, what was accomplished etc.  The main effect that a president had on the market place is confidence.  Presidents confirm and sign into law things from Congress but they don't deserve the accolades or curses they often get for signing legislation.  Congress is too much like pro wrestling, most of their difference are for public consumption and appearances.  Many like having a present that holds the public attention, so they can like a magician implement whatever their true agenda is.  I believe that primarily their agenda is to expand govt power and need and to be re-elected, which is why they are often forced into D or R for the funding and logistical support there is a price for that support.

Yep.

Nobody said a word when Obama did it because the banks made too many unsecure loans and the housing market crashed.  2008 was a long time ago.  We bailed out car manufacturers.

There was a pitch fit.

I think Donald Trump wants to kill us all.  Why else would he ignore all the warnings in his intelligence briefings books and lie to us over and over.?  He can read, correct?

I am not sure there should have been a bailout.  Our kids are going to have to deal with alot of debt that will come due some day.

Everyone needs to be financially responsible, self, business, governments.  The political ploy of bailouts should not be allowed.

Peanuts compared to what's going on now.  And it's nowhere close to the end or I'll eat my hat.  Bailouts, properly structured (i.e. loans not giveaways) are needed to keep the wheels turning.

I have not seen much about "loans".  I don't think there will be much payback.  Just like the last time.

Funny little turnback from the Supreme Court upholding the Congressional promise to fund the costs of the Obamacare debacle.  Insurance Companies will "never" lose money.

It's all phony fiat money with the government having no reason to pay off any debts. The money is like an unsecured mortgage, no collateral involved, no standard of repayment.   As long as the printer works and they can get more paper they will never run out of "money".
