Hillary Clinton Thread

[Little_Sheep]

Yawn…

I find it heartbreaking that the only thing left of the Republican Party is conspiracy theories.

We should probably all move to a country with no due process.

Isn’t that the whole point of BLM, that we are there?

CNN’s Cuomo comes right out and admits it: ‘We couldn’t help Hillary any more than we have’

The problem is that Governor Cuomo of New York is totally inept.

Cuomo has refused to allow fracking for natural gas development in New York State.

Ten feet to the south, in Pennsylvania, they actively use fracking and now provide a huge percentage of the natural gas for the region. AND that natural gas money has revitalized Pennsylvania.

[The drilling HAS slowed somewhat because SO MUCH natural gas was developed that the price dropped.]

Except for New York City and the suburbs, New York State is a disaster area.

From today’s Guardian:

theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/29/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-nate-silver-poll-prediction

Hillary is going to continue with the same economic policies as obama. Does any really think the economy is going to improve because of things she does now that she is claiming will be the “small business” President or now for some reason the middle class has somehow become important to her?

The only group has has made out well for the past 8 years has been government employees. And yes if Clinton is elected those people will still do very very well.

Mea culpa.

Chris is the brother of Andrew, the current governor and is son of the earlier governor.

So, … appears that it runs in the Cuomo family.

I wonder what would happen if we told Black Lives Matter the same thing.

Under Obama the economy improved dramatically, despite the efforts of the GOP to block his agenda. There is no reason to think that continuing those policies will end badly. And the number of government employees has declined under Obama, not increased.

Extra point question: name the last Republican president who reduced the size of government.

I think you have bought the party line. What about the 93,000,000 people out of the work force? Why does a majority of those polled say the country is going in the wrong direction?

And 13,000,000 added to welfare rolls.

I suppose to many democrats, that’s an economic achievement.

They might all be doing better if the US economy hadn’t suffered it’s worst crisis since the Great Depression during the Bush administration.

I still don’t understand why democrats don’t think the rich pay their fair share!
The rich pay the vast majority of all taxes! How is that unfair?

Hillary Helps a Bank—and Then It Funnels Millions to the Clintons

It sounds good and the ignorant lap it up and want to stick it to those who are better off than they are.

Another perspective:

Much as the Dems like to blame the Great Recession debacle on “Wall Street”, this fellow does a pretty good job of summarizing the real causes:

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has said she will put her husband, Bill Clinton, in charge of the U.S. economy. It’s an admission that something is wrong with the economy, and there is.
The Obama “recovery” is the worst in history.
The jobs being created under President Obama are low-wage jobs replacing high-wage jobs.
Thanks to Congress members like Rep. Elizabeth H. Esty, D-5th District, Americans are being replaced by cheap foreign workers. Now, Hillary Clinton wants to be Obama III and worse.
This is a good time to review something people do not understand. Bill Clinton was responsible for the financial crisis.
During his presidency in the 1990s, Bill Clinton decided he would use private funds for government priorities. He rewrote the Community Reinvestment Act and forced banks to make bad loans to low-income and no-income borrowers.
Clinton pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $2 trillion worth of those bad loans. Then-Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo shut down many class-action lawsuits by making predatory lending legal; that opened the door wide for no end to irresponsible lending.
To top it off, on the advice of Goldman Sachs alumnus Robert Rubin, then Treasury secretary, Clinton refused to regulate derivatives over the protests of Brooksley Born, chairwoman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
This allowed Wall Street banks to sell low-value securities (credit default swaps) to investors while representing them as high value. Without telling investors, Goldman Sachs even bet the mortgages would fail. All of it was legal, thanks to Bill Clinton.
As head of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines securitized the bad mortgages — i.e., he put taxpayers on the hook for them. Cuomo was pushing subprime mortgages to 50 percent of Fannie’s holdings. He went so far as to sue banks for not making enough “affordable” (bad) loans.
This house of cards lasted until the economy slowed, and it collapsed in 2007. Seventeen times, George W. Bush called for tighter regulation of Fannie and Freddie. Democrats blocked him at every turn, denying there was a problem.

That’s the way the left categorizes reductions …it’s a reduction and a great accomplishment if it’s slowed growth done by Democrats …

It’s a “your’re starving children” CUT to the budget when Republicans want to Slow the growth in the federal budget by 4% (Democrats want 12℅ growth and Republicans counter with 8%)

Neither one is a true reduction …
