Democratic National Convention

[Woodruff]

Bootlicker

...says the alleged libertarian that supports Romney after he thoroughly shut out Ron Paul's delegates from the Republican National Convention.

You will notice Romney was considerate enough to lay down a comfortable Persian silk matt...and Obama would have me licking his boots off the cold floor! I HATE COLD FLOORS!

Even humor can't hide your transparency.

They look cool? Why did McCain want to talk about the great advances in medical care at Walter Reed Middle School?

[Phatscotty]

The United States posted too early. They should have posted in 1940 or 1941. But then we wouldn't have this nice misleading fake discussion where FDR's policies were the only item that contributed to pulling out of the Depression. And not, you know, World War II.

[GreecePwns]

Yeah, even the leftiest of left economists would say the New Deal only prevented further losses in employment, but it did not constitute a recovery.

Unless rave means throwing a party with plenty of fireworks and smoke machines (read: poisonous gas) in Europe

[BigBallinStalin]

Ah, FDR.
Gave birth to the military industrial complex.
Partially imposed a fascist organization of the US by forcing manufacturers to join cartels as the federal government set prices and controlled imports and exports;
Crowded out private investment with significant fiscal policy (e.g. broken window fallacy).
Threatened to additionally stuff his hand-picked Supreme Court Justices into the SCJ if they didn't play ball.
And the list goes on.


Ah, FDR, the most highly praised Progressive Megalomaniac of American History. Let ignorance ring!

Saxi would also add that the Fascist-Democrat Party (it's too bad "party" doesn't start with an "r") also directly led to the mass killing of Germans and Japanese through the use of weapons of mass destruction (FDR and firebombing Germany; Hoover and nuking Japan).

Well, they had to make the world safe for democracy, and the only way to do that is to antagonize the enemy for years before being attacked, and then proceed in killing their military and their civilians.

Confiscated American's gold

[BigBallinStalin]

Well, not quite. He prohibited the release of US Mint gold coins, which were on sale for a very short time.
What he did exactly was prevent average Americans from redeeming their cash for gold, which allegedly was backing every US dollar that was printed.

Roughly until after the mid 1940s, foreign countries could redeem their USD for gold from the US government; however, that was largely clamped down on, but on the margin it meagerly continued until Nixon closed the "gold windows" in the 1960s.

Since then, we see the rapid expansion of the supply of USD from the federal reserve. Why? Because they're no longer face the incentives which previously bound them (US dollars backed by gold).

So, if you're a mega-millionaire, you can always invest your money to earn a return above the real rate of inflation. If you're like everyone else, lol haha, sorry, but the US government and the federal reserve have been screwing you over and will continue to do so--in the patriotic call to "save capitalism from itself." It's like requiring you to be sacrificed for the mistakes of the government while people toss Patriotic Confetti madly into the air.

That img doesn't say anything about the Depression or anything.

The hindsight FB guy came into the discussion in 2008 because the tax rate on the rich had fallen to a similar margin to where it was directly before the Great Depression.

Jesus Christ people.

All collectivists would gladly sacrifice individuals for "The Greater Good".

Of course, in reality, it is individuals sacrificed for "The Greater Good of Some Other Individuals".

And the government doesn't make mistakes, don't you know anything, BBS? Group Supremecy FTW and there is no greater Group than The State.......

Jesus Christ people.

How did those levels fall in 2008 when the cuts were passed in 2001 and 2003? What happened in the 7 and 5 years prior to the 2008 levels? If the rates were the same that whole time, why did they only become bad in 2008?

Every time I hear the words "Great Depression", I think about how FDR is inseparable from it
