Donnie is a giant pussy, among the yugest of yeast infected damp cavities.

But he does like doing poo poo to piss people off, probably more than Kim. Remember when he told Russia to get their poo poo off that Syrian air base before flopping cruise missiles into the runways? Just stuck his dick deep into the hornets' nest. Not only is Donnie a big telegraphing pussy, but he's the dumbest one we've had yet.

You can actually do a head-to-head between Obama and Nixon and find that Obama really isn't much better. Nixon gets lots of points for the EPA, actually leaving Vietnam, and his position on healthcare. Obama loses heavily on bank bailouts, domestic surveillance, and the Afghan papers.

Bailing out the banks sucked but I think the fallout of letting banks fail would’ve sucked a lot more.

Where we hosed up is not breaking up the big banks immediately after they got bailed out.

At least that would’ve been a more fair trade for what we got instead.

Worse! IIRC the government basically bought up useless stock with no shareholder control from the banks. As the banks got back on their feet they got their lovely useless stock back as they repaid TARP funds.

Banks don’t just buy home loans. It would’ve had a ripple effect that would’ve affected way more people than home owners. For example, almost every type of insurance policy would’ve been heavily affected.

It was a poo poo sandwich and there was no optimal solution, but letting banks outright fail given how widespread their assets are would’ve been way more disastrous.

Banks fail, occupants of homes take possession because bank can't be bothered to stay in business and take mortgage payments, mortgage payments now shift to SUV purchases and consumer goods.

I see no problem with letting a bank fail, just let the families that hold mortgages under them take the home in concession for the bank being a bunch of dumb fucks with money. The government would gently caress it up though, by taxing the dismissed value of the mortgage as income.

Imagine what people would buy if their mortgage just disappeared one day. All that junk. That would sustain the economy alone.

Yeah, as well as not addressing the fact that our economy depends on keeping housing prices high

AIG would have failed. They’re one of the largest providers of every kind of insurance you can imagine.

Suddenly you millions of people people who had nothing to do with the housing market without health insurance, life insurance, homeowners insurance, etc etc etc.

You also have a lot of people getting laid off because the banks aren’t in service anymore, drastically increasing unemployment. I’m not talking executives, I’m talking lower level people.

Banks stop loaning to each other. If that stops then our entire economy will come to a screeching halt.

The reasons the banks committed fraud is because they knew they could get away with it because they are 100% “too big to fail.” “Big” doesn’t mean power, “big” means so entrenched in our economy that if they fail, the economy fails.

They already have stopped lending to each other, that's why the repo operations are ongoing since like, October.

Nixon was a paranoid creep who sabotaged Vietnam peace talks to help his candidacy resulting in tens of thousands of American and over a MILLION Vietnamese dead. The only point he should have gotten for Vietnam was the point of an impalement spike in his colon.
Any policy you want to give him credit for, remember he was facing massive Democratic supermajorities.
gently caress Nixon in hell forever.
