For wealthy people . And they increase spending when they are in charge and will get credit for it.
Democrats raise spending
To help working families

The election results will of course be fraught with voting discrepancies
That’s nonsense. Trump will lie about so called voting discrepancies.

Biden isn’t the one who cut taxes for wealthy people. Trump did that. The first three quarters of 2021 belong to the 2020 FY signed by Trump.

I thought he stripped away red tape created by democrats to make the FDA approve vaccines faster and saved millions of lives.
Well as usual you don’t have your facts straight
Trump offered to buy all the vaccines produced some of the drug companies (Pfizer didn’t participate) even if they turned out to be ineffective. That way they could begin producing the vaccines while they were being tested, thus speeding up the process. It had nothing to do with the Democrats and the FDA gave the plan emergency authorization.

You are not married and you don’t have children. So Republicans think you are only a partial citizen.

What happens to reckless banks without economic interventionism?
You don’t have to wonder. It’s recorded history. The bank fails. The depositors lose all their money and the country goes into a depression.
But the CATO Institute and the Heritage Foundation were created by rich people to convince stupid poor people that regulation is the problem.
Rich people don’t want regulation. They want to exploit the masses and the system for profit.

FDIC for billionaire banks.
The FDIC insures depositors, not the bankers you jackass. And the banks have to pay the FDIC for the insurance.
“The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation supplying deposit insurance to depositors in American commercial banks and savings banks.[7]: 15 The FDIC was created by the Banking Act of 1933, enacted during the Great Depression to restore trust in the American banking system”

The housing crisis of 2008 was exacerbated by the moral hazard created by the expectation that major financial institutions would be bailed out by the government,
Ya, that’s what they were thinking when they were overcome with greed.
Banks engaged in risky lending practices and investments…
The banks acted recklessly because the government allowed them to, thanks to deregulation and a lack of transparency in the derivatives markets.
This insurance reduced the incentive for depositors to monitor banks' behavior,
lol, ya, depositors are going to monitor what the banks are doing with the deposits. So before FDIC Insurance existed, how did so many people end up losing their life savings? Weren’t they monitoring the banks behavior? What a jackass.
I certainly hope you are not a substitute teacher for an economics class

This is so funny. These two idiots put out this paper 1 month after Lehman Bros failed and the country entered the Great Bush Recession.
The people in charge of the economy at the time, Tim Geitner, Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke obviously told these guys to pack sand. The largest bailout in government history followed until we got Trump’s Covid bailout.
So much for those two losers. No wonder nobody has ever heard of them.
The FDIC's role in the housing crisis was primarily linked to the sense of security it provided to both banks and their customers. By insuring deposits, the FDIC reassured depositors that their money was safe, even if the bank engaged in risky financial activities.
The commercial banks wouldn’t have been able to act so recklessly if Glass Steagall hadn’t been repealed by Republicans (yes Clinton signed their stupid bill)

The Ludwig von Mises Institute for Austrian Economics, or Mises Institute, is a nonprofit think tank headquartered in Auburn, Alabama, that is a center for Austrian economics, radical right-wing libertarian thought and the paleolibertarian and anarcho-capitalist movements in the United States.[3][4][5][2][6] It is named after the economist Ludwig von Mises (1881–1973) and promotes the Misesianversion of heterodox Austrian economics.[7][8][9]

A key component to the housing crisis as banks KNEW the feds were obligated to bail them out for bad investment decisions.
Wrong, your thinking of the guarantee offered by Fannie Mae to investors that bought their mortgage backed securities.

Did you know that prior to Roosevelt 80% of banking was done by local banks.
Roosevelt saved the country and helped create the modern middle class that is dying today thanks to Republican deregulation, Republican tax cuts for the wealthy, and Republican anti labor practices

If you want a small bank that is safe, join a credit union. The point is banks need to be regulated. Without government regulation it’s just a disaster waiting to happen.
Now we have the FDIC. Another New Deal invention that is still protecting consumers today.

Those local banks failed and everyone lost their money. Because the banks weren’t sufficiently regulated and they gambled everyone’s money away in the stock market. It was kind of a big problem.

it's economic interventionism though and the studies on economic interventionism, show it to have bad results
This country, prior to the Great Depression, used to not engage in economic interventionism.
It was an unmitigated disaster. We had recessions and depressions every few years. The economy was regulated by greed and fear alone. The government was useless and clueless until the Democrats under Franklin Roosevelt determined this has got to stop. The New Deal led to dozens of programs and legislation that continue to this day, including unemployment insurance, the Securities Exchange Commission, and Social Security.
The result was no depressions or systemic failures until the S&L Crisis and Mortgage meltdown. Both happened under Republican control soon after they repealed some of the New Deal legislation and safeguards and deregulated some parts of the economy.
And we have already determined that you are unable to read and understand anything beyond a tabloid newspaper headline.

yes the article claims 50% of democrats opposed it because it could potentially have some victims be labeled as traffickers
Nowhere in the article does it say 50% of democrats opposed it”.
You just made that up. Terrible reading comprehension
So what have we learned from all this?
A. You don’t know what you are talking about?
B. You have no business thinking you can discuss politics?
C. You don’t have the ability to read and understand an article or a study on complex subjects?

You can’t even digest that tiny LA Times article on a child trafficking bill. Am I supposed to believe that you read and understood that study on welfare and welfare reform? For starters, the study wasn’t looking at Social Security it was looking at SSI. It was not looking at Medicare benefits it was looking at Medicaid, along with food stamps and TANF, which you probably would need to look up to know what it stands for. Lol

yes the article claims 50% of democrats opposed it because it could potentially have some victims be labeled as traffickers and punished. It's something that had a 1 in a million chance of occurring in practice so it was a bullshit excuse they were forced to disregard after the bill was unnecessarily changed to address something unlikey to occur ever.
Ok, so you just read it now. But your interpretation of what you read is wildly inaccurate.

it's not merely an insult. Your argument against the position was that the government statistics the heritage foundation quoted is wrong because they have a worldview you don't like
Are they paid to present a certain point of view or not? Yes or no?
At one time, tobacco companies paid doctors to advance a point of view that cigarettes are good for you. This is the same kind of thing.
Or maybe you tend to believe things like cigarettes are good for your health. That’s just your way of thinking

You view yourself as inferior so you align with other genetic freaks.
Ah, who sees themselves as inferior? The college educated liberals see themselves as inferior to the uneducated white trash of rural America? Surely you jest
We do know for a fact that conservative policies create a more prosperous and stable society (
Um no. Conservative policies create income inequality and a hollowing out of the middle class. You yourself are an example of that.
How are transgender rights doing in North Korea? Are they pretty numerous there you think?

If states are allowed to ban abortion they are depriving women of their liberty to control their own future and make their own personal choices which they have a right to keep private. (That’s the implied privacy of the 14th amendment) toots

Show us where in the US Constitution does it explicitly stated same sex couples have a right to matrimony with opposite sexed couples!
notwithstanding your incoherent quote above, where does it explicitly say in the constitution you have a right to clean air and water?
People, all people are entitled to equal treatment under the law. Marriage is an institution granted by law.
The subject is about the 14th, not the 4th,
Well toots, your words were “There is no "privacy" in the Constitution”. Stop talking out of your fat ass.
“In the 1973 case Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause protects a pregnant woman's right to an abortion as a fundamental "right to privacy". Because In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decided that the right to privacy implied in the 14th Amendment protected abortion as a fundamental right.
