Trump is not a king

This downturn has no relation to the great depression and was the result of the subprime mortgage crisis which was related to the "compassionate ones" efforts to make home ownership more easily acquired.  Thus, the unintended consequences caused by those who think they "know" more.  Take a look at the last four or five economic downturns and compare the strength of the recoveries in terms of GDP.

My parents and grandparents lived through it and there IS no comparison at all. Oh the stories they could tell, and the problem is that they were true.

The Great Depression and WWII combined to make the baby boomers the greatest generation ever, of which I am one.

My grandparents told me the best thing about the great depression was that everyone was poor. So poor that they didn't even know they were. This is where we are headed. Only difference is before it was money. Now it's all about morality. The Moral Depression of the 21st century.

I’d like to say something else about the Great Depression. Anyone who lived through that is a tough old buzzard, especially being born in the early 20s and surviving the depression only to be thrust into the biggest war ever imagined. Yep, when that was all behind them, why not reproduce and raise children in the “perfect” world. Enter me and millions of others. More advancements in technology have been made in the last 70 years than ever before in the history of mankind. You’re welcome. 
 

Anyone who would attempt to compare these historic events to anything else is very uninformed and naive.

That looks at and hears the facts (lies) of CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS...

I’m talking about what I’ve seen and heard from Trump himself. Additionally, if only one news source is correct, that is tantamount to having a “state” news organization that is the only source for official “facts”. No wonder you love our Putin supporting, lying president.

Yeah, and I guess working stiffs were responsible for the margin binge that fueled that 1929 market crash. “Greed” is the common denominator linking the “Great Depression” and the “Great Recession”.

Just wondering if, in all of your "wisdom",  you have ever heard of the economic cycle?   It's only been around since the beginning of time.  Greed will always exist and it has no political limitations (contrary to your unenlightened belief).  Please point me to a  successful and durable country(countries) that do not experience the ups and downs of the economic cycle.  I guess greed was eliminated in Venezuela by those well intentioned and "caring" government leaders.  The result is nobody has anything.

You make some of the strangest/incorrect observations.

If only one source is correct, it means just that, it is correct. .

If you watch news (by your posts, not sure you do) you will see that the outlets listed by Reagan will often use the same terms or specific wording on the same day.

It is very easy to verify this, the are plenty of montages out there that show this.  Now wouldn't you call this very close to "state" news that gets it's material from an obviously central source?  And by the way, it always agrees with the liberal point of view.

Good question, answer...nothing.

It’s like the folks that like to see the rich pay a higher tax percentage because they want to see them pay their “fair” share.

Somehow they think it makes their life better.

You don't think That the rich should pay their fair share?

They know but they "forget", such as the Biden/Ukraine quid pro quo business.

Biden was acting on behalf of the US. European countries agreed with him. What is so hard to understand about that. Trump was acting on behalf of himself. He was trying to dig up dirt.on a political rival.

    • It was no defence that hurt Rusk. Barrier’s stats were good.
    • He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack. 
    • If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.
    • You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc.
