I don't call the middle crazy, I call them indecisive and for the most part ignorant. In your case I call you insane because you seem to subscribe to conspiracy theories claiming I don't have the "security clearance" to understand the financial crisis. The financial crisis can easily be...

What you were saying was in fact crazy. It may have been a name, but it was an accurate name.

The republican party has alienated the American people. They no longer have faith in them. Republicans winning back the senate is an impossibility at this point. It's likely winning the whitehouse is an impossibility. Republicans have pissed off an entire generation of young people who are...

I see. You're a crazy person. You're right. The economy didn't crash due to poorly written legislation influenced by lobbyists, it was a conspiracy covered up by the NWO, freemasons, aliens, and the CIA. Well done.

Sure. But a president can not stop congress from continuing to attach amendments to bills. With a republican controlled congress Clinton's only options here were to block every single piece of legislation that congress handed him or make concessions even when they were bad laws. However he...

Depends on what your income is and where you got it. The historical norm for a top tax rate is ~55%. When it was that high our economy was a lot stronger.

No. After rereading what I wrote what I said was incorrect. Congress was not responsible for that. The SEC is who voted to allow banks to become over leveraged. (Net Capital Rule 2004). That falls under the responsibility of president Bush. But these are two separate issues entirely.

Not the excuse of "he didn't know any better", more like "he could either choose to accept these republican conditions or they'd block his entire agenda." Also, no one really knew. Not the democrats, not republicans, not you, not me, not economists, not even bankers at that time. There were...

What party were Phill Gramm, Jim Leach, and Tom Bliley in? Kind of disingenuous to blame Clinton for a law written by 3 republicans.

That is true. It would not have existed if Clinton did not sign he. He does deserve blame for that. But that's different than being the root cause of the problem. That root cause was clearly Phill Gramm and his republican supporters in the senate. He's the one who wrote the legislation who...

Unless you buy into the theory of German racial superiority there has to be a cause of their high production. It's impossible that their financial system is unrelated to their levels of production. Wealth distribution in German is similar to wealth distribution in American in the 1950's-1960's...

A better question would be what was the mortgage payment your bank started you out at and what rate did they end up inflating it to?

If you're speaking specifically about credit default swaps then the name you're looking for is Texas republican senator Phill Gramm. He threatened to block Clinton's legislation (Commodities Futures Trading Act of 2000). Gramm asked for a loophole that would take the regulations and oversight of...

It is. We are all conspiring to push a moderate balanced mixed economy on the American people. Truly evil.

This is difficult to explain to a simpleton like you, but I'll try again. German has many political parties. One of the two largest parties is the Social Democratic Party who at times have dominated the government. Along with that they have some center-right capitalist parties. Because of...

Not sure what you're asking. I guess I feel good about it. No more or less so that capitalism. No. That's just how we discuss socialism in America. We have that here now. Democratic socialism gives you more choice, not less.

I fucking love The Maxx

Who said Marxism was moderate? Germany doesn't have a Marxist government. And that's the direction the right wants us to head in. So on your planet there is nothing in between free market capitalism that is bordering on anarchy and Soviet communism? Awesome. Must be an exciting planet. I...

Probably a lot of truth to that.
