OOPs my math was wrong. The great depression started in 1929. FDR became president in 1933. Now how did he create it?

karidrgn 9 months ago

How could FDR's policies have created the great depression when it started 2 years before he became president?

Here are some stats for you to research, and please, use accurate ones and not something from Fixed Noise.
Unemployemnt on FDR's inauguration day in 1933: %25
Unemployment in 1937: %15
He stopped Government spending and in 1938 it rose to %17.
He tried to restart spending but was blocked by congress. Then WWII started and the government REALLY started spending on the military and military supplies.

Let's see, "A theory is a myth and that is based on speculation that has not been backed up with facts" Right there you just exposed your complete ignorance of science in general and evolution in specific.

There are so many facts backing up evolution that I could out write you any day. I suggest you go to youtube and search out "Why do people laugh and creationists". By your logic, if I walk off the edge of a cliff, I won't fall down as the theory of gravity is a myth.

The rest of your post is filled with just as much right wing neo-con talking points that it is rediculous. What idea do you have for improving this country? None.

So you would dictate to a woman who has bcome unexpectedly pregnant what the rest of her life should be like? Instead of attacking those who seek to have an abortion just like the thousands who risked their lives to have one before it became legal, how about joining me in supporting sex education and birth control and reducing the number of women seeking it.

I recently hear a anti-choice leader state that even birth control was murder and wants to eliminate even that. Interesting that most of the anti-choice leaders are men.

What impact would a sales tax have on the poor? Right now, if someone earns below the poverty line (which is rediculously low as several expenses like transportation are not calculated) they are exempt from income tax. Suddenly, they are hit with sales tax on ALL of their purchases. Rich person has ways to avoid a sales tax by buying overseas or other ways. So this is unfair.

The whole wait to see a doctor in (name that country) has been debunked. If socialized medicine is so bad, how come all the nations that have it the people live longer (80 years instead of 72 years for US) and consistantly poll that they like their health care better than Americans? As for waiting, every time I call my PCP she is unavailable and I can't get an appointment for a week or two.

I got news for you. There is no such thing as a totally free market. If there were, such things as pyramid or ponzi schemes would be legal. Regulation protects us from polluted air, land and water. Take a look at images of lakes, rivers and harbors before the those laws went into effect or take a look at images of China or Russia manufacturing towns and see how horrible they look.

Regulation also protects us from lead poisoning, contanimated food and drugs that work as they should and not kill us.

Corporations have become too powerfull and are not answerable to the average person. A senator recently stated that the banks own congress and so it will be hard to pass regulations to prevent what happened last year from happening again.

The Denver Metro area has a lot of bike paths running next to irrigation ditches and thru downtown. It also helps get people to excercise and promotes the community. One major health care expense in the US is obesity, so building public ways that encourage people to get out and walk or bike would help in other ways as well.

I've heard that solar panels can work even on a cloudy day. But consider this, if we start in one area of the country where they are most effective that frees up resources for those areas of the country that they are not as effective, so it benefits even the citizens of Vermont because there would be more coal or oil available for them as those of us in the sunny states wouldn't need as much.
Furthermore, as people make a profit off of the panels, that makes money for research into tech that would work even in Vermont.

Conservatives think only in the short term and are so selfish.

So, where do we get the money to pay for the military?
How about roads, education so that all kids have a chance to move up into the good life. The tax money of those of us who have 'made it' go to help those who are still strugling. And when I'm in trouble, my taxes return to me in the form of unemployment, welfare, health care etc. Giving me the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

in repsponse to "Liberal MSM is not going to ask any questions of Mr. Obama that would make their boy look bad. The MSM is "In the Tank" for Mr. Obama to the point they are losing any remaining credibility.
"
You obviously don't listen to shows like Rachel Madow, Ed Shultz or Keith Olberman where you will hear plenty of questions asked about his actions such as the reversal to release the torture photos and that his government talked the Supreme Court into not hearing the case regarding several gays kicked out of the military.

The true liberal media considers Obama's reinstatement of the Military Tribunals to be a mistake as well.

While they do praise actions by Obama that they agree with, they are not the 'water carriers' for him that the Fixed News is for right wingers.

If you are talking about the network news, they haven't reported serious news for 12 years, ever since Clinton and the cigar.

I saw an interview with some police that had just graduated on the same day the stim package was signed. The policeman said that if it hadn't been for $ from the stim package the department were he was going to be assigned had planned to cut the position as well as the positions of all of that graduating class.

Then there was the report of several road projects that were able to start up now rather than later due to the stim money.

No money has been given to Acorn. That is a right wing lie. The stim package included money for food stamps, unemployment extensions etc. Items which the governor of Louisiana has stated that he'll reject because it is pork spending.

The money allocated for rebuilding New Orleans has been held up. According to one report I saw, the prople in the FEMA department responsible for releasing the money have deliberately held it up in order to keep their jobs. People hired during the Bush admin. The report included people currently working at that department who were whistle blowers.

what about the people who don't live in places that UPS or FedEx serve? One of the requirements of a public or semi-public institution like the Post Office is that it serve ALL the people in ALL locations not just the ones who will make you money. Those who cannot afford or have easy access to the locations you describe will be disenfranchized. I'm sure that there are people who only know snail mail as a way of communicating because they don't know computers or have easy access to one.

What about Haliburton and all the other companies owned by Repubs that made BILLIONS off of military contracts. Before the Bush administration and the Iraq war, Haliburton was on the verge of bankruptcy. Then low and behold! The company in whom Cheney once was CEO managed to get billions of no bid contracts. They and their subsidary charged us for serving meals to marines that didn't exist, built showers that had such bad wiring that over 100 soldiers were electrocuted, and I believe a couple died. They gave poisened water to the troops and their men raped a few women and then laws were pushed thru to prevent prosecution under either US or Iraqi law.

Then last year to avoid investigation Haliburton moved its corporate headquaters to Dubai.

right, so you're going to help push the company under and lose more American jobs. You do realize this is a loan right? That if / when the company returns that they'll pay the government back - with interest. Just like Lee Iacocoa did 30 years ago.

reply to: emiliy " understand your thinking on this but I'm not big on the backup vote. I think Canada has an interesting way to do it that encourages voting outside the main parties: When a candidate admits defeat in the election, he or she then gives over all votes to the candidate of his/her choice and most in keeping with his/her ideals. So you can feel safe in voting for a "minor" candidate that you aren't "throwing your vote away."

The negative part in this is that it opens the door to behind the scenes manipulations and vote buying. Look at what happened regarding Obama's senate seat. Here in Colorado, we're stuck with Michael Bennet cause he was picked to fill Salazar's empty seat. I prefer a voter having a direct say in who they want with a backup vote. Better for small d democracy.

That's what part of the stim package had in it. And it's the part that was attacked by the repubs. They derided the $ for trains and other public transportation and so it was reduced. They also derided $ for unemployement insurance and food stamps, both programs which a good stimulators of the economy as every dollar spent returns $1.40 or more in economy stimulation.

Right now due to our laws people don't vote for folks outside of Dems or Repubs cause if they do the person they REALLY don't like will be elected.

Which is it? Fascism is where corporations rule government which is what we had under the Bush admin, and still do. Example is a senator who recently stated that any desire to re-regulate the banks is doomed to fail as they own congress. There's the insurance companies who've forced Obama to take single payer off the table and drug companies who wrote that Medicare can't negotiate for lower drug costs.

The Europeans, Canadians, Japanese and ALL the other 1st world nations are pretty happy with their various forms of nationalized health care. Each has a downside but if we objectively review them and take the best of each, we can make one that is better than all of them and certainly better than what we have now. With the tanking of the stock market and my 401k's I'm really happy that Social Security wasn't privatized like Bush wanted. I like our roads, education, police, firemen, and the protection of the FDA, FAA, EPA etc.

I don't want one party rule which is what Karl Rove stated he wanted. I don't want China type govt which means you can't disagree or critizie the govt. It seems with the GOP you can't disagree with Cheney, Limbaugh or O'Reilly. If you do you are a traitor.

Marriage used to be more a business arrangement of merging the assets of two families more than the joining of two people, especially for the rich. Nowadays there is the religious part of it and the legal union that grants the each partner certain legal rights and responsibilities.

Well, it would require a change to the Constitution which would be difficult, however, I understand that each state can determine HOW they choose their members to the college. So, we can change how they are chosen via some form of popular vote, or some other method. I've heard of several different ways to do this. Finally, I'm sorry but even with the change I think that Alaska and Hiwaii will probably always be screwed that they know who the president is before their polls close due to location and population size regardless of whether their is an electoral college or no.
The only way would be to prevent all the states posting their results until Alaska and Hiwaii have voted.
