That’s why they needed to be bailed out I guess. Too big to fail means they have too much juice to fail. Too many people in their pockets. View Quote There were other elements of the various bailouts that were full on hand outs to businesses that shouldn't have got one, but the healthy big banks bailouts actually worked out just fine for the government...it's one of the very few things gov has done in recent decades that actually had a positive return. |

Actually, they didn't need a bailout at all. If you go back and read up on the subject you'll find that at the time the government was so concerned that there would be a domino effect of bank failures that when they designed their bailout plan they forced even healthy banks to take the money with the idea that if all banks took it then the bailouts wouldn't be a signal to investors/account holders that a specific bank was "in trouble", thus artificially creating a panic. Wells, and several other heathy banks, begrudgingly took the $ and promptly sat on it, and then they paid it back, with interest, when the gov plan allowed for it. Wells didn't need a bailout at all, in fact they were in "buying mode" looking for good deals amongst failing banks...which is where the Wachovia acquisition came from. There were other elements of the various bailouts that were full on hand outs to businesses that shouldn't have got one, but the healthy big banks bailouts actually worked out just fine for the government...it's one of the very few things gov has done in recent decades that actually had a positive return.

Do the Vegas bookmakers have an over/under on AOC being Arkancided yet? Because that's something that depends entirely on the forbearance of her Democrat overseers. Nearly impossible to predict. I'll give it a shot, though. If the old guard were still in charge, the new commies would’ve already been made to sit down and shut up. |

They should cancel all her credit cards, call in her student loans, ruin her credit, no loans for her.

This is all by design.
Her handlers (justice Democrats) are looking to overthrow establishment Democrats or the moderate Democrats. They don't give one shit whether she pisses off Pelosi or Feinstein. They want those seats in congress. She's there to get the far left ideals out in the open. She was found in a casting call if that tells you anything. |

I don't know why people bother to answer her questions. She's a petulant child whose ignorance seems to know no limits yet she proudly wears that ignorance on her sleeve. I swear I'd have called her out and asked if there was an adult in the house. The fact that her constituents are dumber than her says tons, all of it bad.

Doesn't matter how often she's corrected with facts and logic, she won't pay any attention at all. She's focused on her bullshit and ignores everything else. That's why occasionally she'll delete a tweet but won't admit how stupid she is. No facts matter, only her agenda. You aren't going to embarrass her or change her mind. And shes barely smarter than her "constituents".
And personally I hope the dems really push for the wealth tax on billionaires, we should join them on this one for laughs. It isn't like the billionaires are defenseless or can't afford to buy enough congress critters, lawyers, accountants etc to get past the noise from the dems on the tax. But what it would hopefully do is slow down their attacks on conservatives for a bit. It would be nice to see bloomturd have to spend a ton of time fighting against the wealth tax instead of funding gun control. And if the dems pissed the billionaires off enough maybe they'd fund a third party to contend against the dems. That would be a hoot to watch the money siphon off away from the dems to go somewhere useless. |

I heard another little gem from the YouTube: She listed WF as holding Puerto Rico’s bonds as the reason they can’t extricate themselves from constraining debt.
I know she’s stupid and that this is mostly a rhetorical question, but what is a bank SUPPOSED to do with worthless bonds? Except not have held them in the first place. |

You know what, I just got it. She is literally too stupid to insult. This is going to be the next wave in the leftist assault on us - complete and utter morons. View Quote The larger plot was and remains to recruit attractive people to run for Congress. The longer-term strategy seems to be to gain control of the Democrat Party, Congress and ultimately the United States government itself. Their stated goal “was to run hundreds of Democratic candidates” who do "not take corporate money and serve the voters rather than the donors," as well as "capture a significant amount of Congress with strong progressives" and "overpower the corporate Democrats." In the 2018 elections, 26 of the 79 candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats won their respective primary elections. Along with AOC, six other of these progressive minority candidates won in the general election: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal. The districts where they won were all solidly Democrat. This suggests why the far left wing newbies were not only given key committee assignments and but quickly found senior Democrats fawning over them. When Rep. Ilhan Omar was accused of anti-Semitic remarks, Democrats could not find the will to directly condemn her. Instead they passed a watered down meaningless resolution against hate. Pelosi and other establishment Democrats are understandably afraid of who will be targeted by the Justice Democrats in 2020 and they don’t want to antagonize them. In her primary, Ocasio-Cortez received 57.13% of the vote (15,897) to Joe Crowley's 42.5% (11,761) to defeat the 10-term incumbent. Ocasio-Cortez won the general election with 78% of the vote (110,318) to Pappas's 14% (17,762). The Democrats all got the message. |

Some of you people are schizophrenic with what you choose to believe or not believe from the government. One minute they’re lying their ass off and fucking us over, the next they’re acting in your best interests, because they’re that magnanimous. Here’s a newsflash, they’re always lying their asses off and fucking you over. You just find some excuses more palatable than others. |

My dad is a full-on FRB conspiracy theorist, so I've heard it all before. The fact remains, you do NOT want politicians in charge of the money supply and almost everything the FRB does that people don't like is the direct result of the elected officials in DC doing stupid crap (primarily spending more than they take in with taxes). Without that deficit/debt spending, what is the FRB doing that is objectionable? Serious question. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Right, and the purpose of the federal reserve is to stabilize the economy and not to siphon off as much of Americas wealth as possible to the people who control it. The politicians like this arrangement because they can plead ignorance or powerlessness while pointing to the Fed but at the same time the Fed is entirely unaccountable and shielded behind layers of obfuscation which makes it all but impossible to pin blame for economic negligence on any one person or group of persons. The way the Fed is structured is essential to allowing unaccountable massive deficit spending to occur in the first place. I don’t pretend to understand all of the inner workings, the entire system is deliberately designed to be a confusing morass of regulations and practices. I do understand that giving control of such an essential function of government to such a tiny sliver of the population is a bad idea. Many of the stockholders of the various banks who make up the Fed system aren’t even American, so how can they be trusted to act in America’s interest? |
