    Well, there is their credit card spree - bloating the national debt for a brusque binge.

    Yes, such wanton behavior is antithetical to conservative Republican principles (as are free-trade impeding tariffs) but Trump did proclaim himself the "King of Debt!" and his hostile party takeover has its privileges.

    I'd say tax cuts, deregulation, protectionism.

    tax cuts that help the richest the most? deregulation that enables capitalists to pollute our water on a for-profit basis, and trade wars? Many would claim Government solves all problems for the right wing not Capitalism.

    You asked what policies were actually enacted. I thought you didn't know.

    I am actually sympathetic to many of your concerns. Rising inequality bothers me, but I don't see Democrats actually addressing the issue.

    I am, however, a big fan of protectionism and immigration restriction (as are unions) because they provide leverage for the working class.

    That would be several banking laws both parties would not change.

    Neither Feeney or Kosmas responded to this:

    "No creditor shall issue debt to any household which could exceed a 36% debt to income ratio, without the written knowledge and consent of both spouses or domestic partners in the household and each and every creditor the household already owes."

    End of slavery:

    “The Federal Reserve's rule told credit card companies that they no longer can consider household income when assessing the creditworthiness of an individual who applies for his or her own card. Under the rule, only an individual's own salary or other income -- rather than combined household income -- can be considered.”

    Slavery reinstituted:

    “U.S. Reps. Carolyn Maloney, D-NY, and Louise Slaughter, D-NY, both among the principal authors of the CARD Act, said the rule ‘goes beyond the intent’ of the law and ‘represents a serious risk for women in abusive domestic partnerships.’"

    Like say for instance you bring up banks giving loans, cards, and accounts to people who do not exist, and ask for law requiring verified identity to open accounts, like say in person, so the criminals can't scam people and write fake checks, or requiring banks to verify money actually exists before making monopoly money available in an account, as instant as a gun background check, to stop the scams, the lawmaker's mouthpiece of any party instantly has something else to do or they will not respond...because there is too much money to be made by supporting scams...

    And let's not forget the FED testified, irresponsible credit by spouses of clueless husbands helps subsidize small business loans, which is why the DEMOCRATS really reinstituted slavery.

    Oh, wait, you didn't mean that credit card?

    The problem for Democrats is that the majority of their voters increasing live in a small minority of states and their real problem is that with the electoral college you need to win more than more than a handful of states in order to govern.

    it was a Recession, not a recession that got turned around. absolute is not just a vodka brand regarding gdp. The right wing is even funnier, with that debt clock and their tax cut economics.

    I got a nice return on my income taxes and I am far, FAR from being wealthy. Of course I DO work for a living.

    turning a Recession around and implementing healthcare reform required a lot of effort.

    alleging to have a great economy now that is merely being financed and is the Best tax cut economics can do, really is worthless if it doesn't balance the budget.

    The devastating anti-trust interpretation (policy) at the DOJ implemented in 1985-86. It is one of the biggest culprits of our current economic condition.

    If you do not control spending you will never balance the budget no matter what the taxation rate is.

    Allowing people to keep what they earned is not redistribution. Taking what theye arned from them and giving it to some one else is redistribution.

    Sure it got turned around for anyone whom did NOT work for a living. For the rest of us though, living in the real world the 'recession' didn't even begin to end until Trump became president and began cutting all those Obama pen and phone anti-capitalistic executive orders. That kicked off the true economic recovery.
