    Even if we ignore the nonsense of taxing the poor and take your assertions at face value - the results shows that the way the Democrats do it benefits the economy more than the way the Republicans do it.

    Have you ever complained about Obama's "spending"?

    I'd love to see someone dig up those posts...

    Yes. I once posted that Obama spent more money bailing out GM than the previous 10 Presidents spent building ships for the US Navy.
    I was correct too.

    But but trickle down economics is one of the most fantastic policies to boost the economy. Oh wait, that didn't work the first time so it must be going to work this time.

    Maybe you were.

    But most of the bailout was repaid, so the net cost was less than the cost of just one recent boat (the Gerald Ford).

    Not maybe. Funny, the first production they close since then is in the US.

    I believe the US made money on the banks bailout, but not on the automotive one. It does not matter, it was done for a very good reason - we would likely still be in a recession or worse if it was not done at the time.

    The US proved it believes in it's economy and restored confidence in the market - and the recession was over in about 18 months. When the Japanese did not do the same - they had lost a couple of decades to bad economy - so the decision was right in it's entirety even if some elements of it lost money.

    We made money by still having those jobs in the economy.

    This is exactly what I said. This line item actually lost money (So Marzy is correct there) - but it was still the right decision (lost the battle, win the war)

    I've seen some of his videos. Some of it's good, but most of it's just some blow hard who does a lot of jump edits (which are so fucking annoying).
