Trump MAGAthread IX: Korea, The Dreamers and Trump

[Holy Tedalonia]

I hate to wave the inflation flag around, but it's starting to drop to not so good levels.

Um, do you need to be reminded about what happened in 2007-2009?

Obama started his big pay plans, but he didn't have the money so he printed them.

[Clintonburge]

Trump's 'small business' tax cut is actually for rich people like Trump

[Salandriagado]

Then you've been trolling? Good to know.

And I treat people how they act. Make of that what you will.

I haven't been trolling in the slightest.

You literally just admitted that you have been following this discussion, and therefore know where it started, but have been pretending that you don't, presumably in some facile attempt to annoy me. What the fuck else would you call that?

[The East Marches II]

Nah now you are backtracking. Thanks for playing! I'm glad you've corrected your opinion from previously.

Yeah, no, that's not what happened in the slightest. You're just doing your usual inane blathering about things you don't understand and trying to score points by intentionally (or accidentally, malice and stupidity and all that) misunderstanding people's posts.

Of course, I'm the one who believes in balanced budgets in good times. How "inane". Whatever you gotta do to cover up getting called on being wrong.

Erm, no. You're the one that refuses to read.

Obama started his big pay plans, but he didn't have the money so he printed them.

OR, this little thing call "The Great Recession" happened. It's generally accepted that it started under Bush and was due to years of terrible economic practices, like: Failures in financial regulation, reckless financial firms, Wall Street acting like assholes with excessive borrowing, etc...

OR it was because the banks knew that papa govt would bail them out if they did stupid shit.

Congratulations, literally nothing in my post has been changed due to that idea, in fact, it actually plays into the first point in that list.

Would you like to try another?

...and then were allowed to, as you say, "do stupid shit", instead of being regulated.

You're presenting one of the dumber false dichotomies I've seen on NSG lol

That actually saved Citibank

I was saying lack of regulation wasn't the problem, it was the general practice of bailing out banks that led to banks taking more risks, ergo housing bubble, ergo great recession. What did bush do, other than not reign in the banks anyways?

[Dylar]

Neither of which is actually bad, given that we were at unsustainably low levels of inflation, and the US deficit is irrelevant.

I hate to wave the inflation flag around, but it's starting to drop to not so good levels.

Wait...which direction is bad? Up or down? I need labels on these axes dammit!!!

All I told you to do was to clarify, because people were misunderstanding you. I guess you misunderstood me.

That's considered failure of regulation.

Typically center is best. This is where you say, "economies a bitch".

Says the person who literally suggested the deficit was irrelevant.

The great recession actually could have been at least temporarily prevented by bailing out lehman brothers, but the root would still be faulty.

The crash course mentions that in the video actually for the obamanation.

Somewhere around 2% is good. Anything below 0 is really bad. Anything a long way above 2% is bad, getting progressively worse the further it goes.

No I didn't. I said that the increase in the deficit due to Obama's policies from 2008 to 2016 is irrelevant compared to the benefits provided by said spending. Its almost like posts have context.

It drops more often then not even during the obama era it dipped a bit as it was recovering.

Are we making completely irrelevant statements now?

They're very good at that.

I responded to a post. That you fail to communicate properly and go in circles is not, personally, my problem.
