Republican Tax Cuts For The Rich And The Debt Crisis

Trump has had the lowest budget deficit since 2001; then the Dems took Congress and crap hit the fan.

 

this fits

 

I assume you meant Dubya, but please highlight ANY bill the Dems passed and Dubya signed that caused the deficit to go up?

Like Obama, only had the stimulus that increased the debt, therest were policies inherited from Dubya/GOP policies like UNFUNDED TAX CUTS, UNFUNDED WARS, UNFUNDED MEDICARE EXPANSION AND THE LACK OF REGULATORS ON THE BEAT TO STOP THE "FREE MARKETS" HOSING THE WORLDS ECONOMY!!!


Once more I'll note you didn't present ANYTHING on Barney Frank and his super powers in the GOP controlled House!

 

Governments have cut top tax rates. Tax policy is one of the most important factors in determining inequality levels in advanced economies

Most of the research below comes from the Peterson Institute 2019 conference on “Combating Inequality,” later work from attending experts, and other PIIE publications. Read also “We Have the Tools to Reverse the Rise in Inequality,” by conference organizers Olivier Blanchard (PIIE) and Dani Rodrik (Harvard University), and their book of essays by conference participants, Combating Inequality: Rethinking Government's Role, published by MIT Press.

NOT EXACTLY A LEFT WING GROUP!!!

 

Barney Frank was in the minority until January 2007, after home prices peaked in 2006.

 

talent and effort is the major reason for inequality in advanced economies. and I don't have issues with inequality. winners should win, those who make bad decisions and don't work hard, should not

 

Once more according to right wing Peterson Institute, and most credible economists I've read
Tax policy is one of the most important factors in determining inequality levels in advanced economies

 

Tell that to Republicans.

 

Budgets? Appropriation bills?

Nonsense

I probably did that a decade or more ago.

 

I said senate which the Dems controlled since jumping Jim Jeffords switched sides.

 

so what?

 

There were a lot of Afghans Trump would have left behind. I guess Trump didn't care.

 

So NOTHING outside of what Dubya asked for. Got it

 

So what about Gov't policy being one of the largest factors in inequality?

 

Yes what bill, the one Dubya opposed to reform F/F? Of course it didn't matter since Dubya's cheerleading of the Banksters subprime loans was driven by PRIVATE MARKETS NOT GSE's

 

ME:

"Once more I'll note you didn't present ANYTHING on Barney Frank and his super powers in the GOP controlled House!"

COOL WANT TO TRY AGAIN? You know since the minority party in the House is so powerful? lol

 

you seem to think that we should want everyone to be exactly equal

I don't

 

The Russian weren't doing anything while Trump was in charge they didn't have the money with oil at forty dollars a barrel. Trump sent them weapons Obama sent them socks...

 

Equal? Exactly? LMAOROG

 

Interesting.

 

You made it about me. You need to stop the personal attacks.

 

John Bolton said Putin put off invading Ukraine while Trump ‘did a lot of his work for him’
‘To Putin’s mind...a weaker Nato is a stronger Russia’


As the United States pressed Saudi Arabia to end its oil price war with Russia, President Donald Trump gave Saudi leaders an ultimatum.

In an April 2 phone call, Trump told Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that unless the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) started cutting oil production, he would be powerless to stop lawmakers from passing legislation to withdraw U.S. troops from the kingdom, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The threat to upend a 75-year strategic alliance, which has not been previously reported, was central to the U.S. pressure campaign that led to a landmark global deal to slash oil supply as demand collapsed in the coronavirus pandemic - scoring a diplomatic victory for the White House.

Trump delivered the message to the crown prince 10 days before the announcement of production cuts. The kingdom’s de facto leader was so taken aback by the threat that he ordered his aides out of the room so he could continue the discussion in private, according to a U.S. source who was briefed on the discussion by senior administration officials.

The effort illustrated Trump’s strong desire to protect the U.S. oil industry from a historic price meltdown as governments shut down economies worldwide to fight the virus. It also reflected a telling reversal of Trump’s longstanding criticism of the oil cartel, which he has blasted for raising energy costs for Americans with supply cuts that usually lead to higher gasoline prices.

Most of the subprimes were written during the Bush Presidency.

 

You know big bad Gov't forced those wall streeters to loan to poor people without credit checks, down payments or even jobs, that's why banksters paid fines so large

Since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2007, financial institutions have paid more than Qatar's GDP in fines for their wrongdoings. As investigations and lawsuits continue, that number is expected to grow.

$150 billion (127.6 billion euros) - that's how much US authorities have collected in fines from financial institutions for shady dealings with subprime mortgages since the beginning of the credit crisis in 2007, according to research by the British business daily Financial Times (FT).
