Gingrich at Republican Fundraiser Says Obama’s ‘Already Failed’

He has increased spending on infrastructure, which you said was good, right?

Tell me how a bailout damages the economy?
Also, is it your contention that if AIG, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs failed, that would have been good for our economy?

 

yes, but the amount of spending required is less than he is spending. plus i think what qualifies as "infrastructure" might differ.

absolutely it would have been good for the economy. the market evolves when businesses that are run poorly are allowed to fail and be replaced by better ones. yuno, the market "evolves" because the strong survive.

if these banks are run by incompetent morons, and they cant stay afloat, so be it. dont reward incompetence with bailouts. there are other companies out there desperate to take their place, but they cannot because the government bails out failure.

 

you dont know that. I am going to assume that you have no idea how much was required on infrastructure spending. Just another claim you cant back up.


intellectual response, not a Martin response. Since you know how the economy works so well. Tell me how that would have been good for the economy for those companies to fail. Deregulation allowed those companies to become so big and poorly run.

 

How is it Obama cannot reward these banks when it was he himself pushing for the same policies that got the banks into the jam they are in now?

I believe there is reality and then there is opinion. We all are unfortunately stuck with both.

 

education is infrastructure, but thanks for the link.

i do know that. we do not require massive spending and debt to maintain our infrastructure.

keep talking to me this way and you will never talk to me again. your choice.

i just told you. better companies would replace them. do you think the market for the services they provide would simply disappear? if these companies are so poorly run then wouldnt you be ok with them being replaced by companies that are run properly?

if you are a competitor to these companies, and you have been responsible and need no bailout, and are happy to take on the clients of the failing comapnies, why is it fair that you get nothing while the government bails out your competition? do you not see how this rewards failure and punishes responsibility?

Dont be a hypocrite, you can call people stupid and ignorant, but you get your thongs in a wad when it comes back at you.

Id still sleep just as well as I did last night, if you talked to me or not. Dont flatter yourself, Tonto!

I'll talk to you the way you talk to me.

You dont know how much it would cost to upgrade our current infrastructure. Alot of our infrastructure (in my opinion) is out dated and needs alot of work. Just asked the people who fell off that bridge in Minnesota.

 

i am not opposed to hypocrisy. i like to call people stupid and ignorant sometimes. but i also know it is a pleasure to talk to me so i will require you to do what i ask or deny you the pleasure. show some respect to your superiors.

so did you understand my explanation of the bailouts or not?
