Obamanomics

See my tag line.
Yep. Sessions would do nicely as POTUS.
If true, this is one of the sinister acts of a corporation that I disagree with stridently.
Corporations only worry about their own existence. They don’t give a hoot about good citizenship.
They don’t care about society as a whole.
They don’t care if their actions are slightly or extremely destructive.
They don’t care if they gift away the secrets of the realm.
If the nation they stared up in goes south, even due to the actions of said corporation, they merely move off to another nation.
I support corporations because massive tasks can’t be achieved unless you have them. I still think they should have national loyalty as a price for operating withing a nation.
The last twenty years have shown how bad corporations can be.
They are headed toward destroying our nation, and replacing it with another entity.
I don’t understand why the Republicans like Sessions don’t warn Obama, bureaucrats, these CEO’s and their lobbyists that they will be subject to indictment and prosecution for conspiracy to violate immigration laws as soon as Obama is removed or leaves office.
Well if corporations can just go up to the White House and buy what they want, why do we bother paying Congress any longer?
I wonder if these are some of the people backing the Chamber of Commerce?
I should probably know, but I’m blanking on OWS.
Obamanomics
He has traction, doesn’t shoot from the hip, gets citizens involved and is getting national exposure.
We will see where he goes with it, but I agree he should be up in the mix
Corporate Socialism / US Chamber of Commerce bump for later...
I suspect that will stop when an Republican is back in the White House.
Ai-yi-yi...never the day did I think I would sound like some liberals who ragged on corporations for years... *sigh*
"The Administration has solicited 'a list of asks for the tech sector'"
Good Lord...did those losers at Politico graduate from 3rd grade? Sorry to get all grammar nerdy, but don't they know the difference between a freakin' noun and a verb?
Sheesh...I thought liberals were supposed to be all about education!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Yes I do remember them. My thought on them is that they are almost exclusively members of A.N.S.W.E.R. They are vehemently anti-Capitalist.
I say this because we can’t get the Right out in massive activist numbers. We can generally get a good showing on specific issues, but most of our people work and have families. These people don’t work. I’m not even convinced they believe in the concept we have adopted concerning families.
A.N.S.W.E.R. can get literally hundreds of thousands of people on the street. IMO< that’s the base of OWS efforts.
You may think they agree with you. In truth they detest everything you hold dear.
Where I think our government screwed up most, was creating the lending house of cards to begin with. Once that magic had been worked, I’m not sure the corporations they took to court to do what the government demanded of them, were to blame. And who takes the brunt of that corporate collapse? Some giant fat cat? No, it’s your mutual fund or stocks that take a big hit, or collapse. It’s your bank that goes under. Then what?
Barney Frank and a number of other members of Congress and the Senate should have had criminal charges brought against them. They were the real culprits.
Where criminal acts could be determined in the corporations, those players should have been prosecuted also. I would remind of one thing here.
The government forced bad loans on banks and lending institutions. Those institutions couldn’t sit on that paper and become insolvent. They had to move that paper somewhere. They got creative. The government termed that criminal. No, it was a reasoned reaction to government duress. And there’s more to this issue.
I would like to mention one thing here. The government oversees most of what takes place on Wall Street. Wall Street and lenders do not act in a vacuum. If it did, then the government would never have taken them to court to force loans to people who couldn’t pay them back. It wouldn’t have known those loans weren’t being made.
For the government to act as if it didn’t know and approve of what some of these players were doing on Wall Street, is a total lie. As long as things were going along and not collapsing, these folks were the darlings of the industry.
Then the government turned on them with a vengeance, to shift blame, make it look like they didn’t know, and look like they was cleaning up.
Are there still bad loans out there. Of course. The government basically refied many of those loans and refused to let banks declare defaults.
We’ll do it all over again in upcoming years. This time it will be even worse.
Once again Wall Street and lending institution will be blamed and once again folks will not fully understand how these institutions are constantly under review by government agencies.
It’s a big shell game IMO.
Lending institutions are still all at risk. The government knows damn well they are. They know what practice are being used to keep things afloat. And when it goes down again, they’ll act just as surprised as they did last time.
What’s more, folks will fall for it all over again. Corporations, Wall Street, fat cat Banks... it’ll be their fault, not Senators, Congressmen or Presidents in Washington, D. C.
Any GOP candidate who promises to overturn the EO is likely to win the nomination AND the general election.
Alas I fear we will not have a candidate in the GOP make such a promise.
Additionally, a PROMISE to overturn by ALL GOP candidates will destroy any and all political benefit the Dims may otherwise derive from this action.
All would then know the duration is but 2 years and their initial registration becomes a trail back to them.
