Biden is correct...it is a BFD!
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2770253][Deleted by Admin] Does your head explode with anything outside of Republicans bad, Democrats good? [/QUOTE]
Not surprising or shocking, coming from a typical Elvis vitriolic rant. Repubs/Bothersidesism, once again [b]attacking the messenger and not the message.[/b] Is it any wonder a good number of your responses, to other BMs are deleted?
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2770253]Dems good, Republicans bad huh? Where we do send you your copy of 1984? ... [/QUOTE]
[u]What do you think? Ask yourself this: [/u]
Which party is it, that denies peoples rights and taking the America back to the dark ages with their backwards, archaic and ancient policies from a bygone Neanderthal era?
Which party is it, that are simply nihilists, election deniers, hell bent on subverting democracy, the rule of law and The US Constitution?
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2770253]... So which president's oil policies do you prefer, Spidy, Biden's or Obama's? ... [/QUOTE]
Elvis, I'm not so myopic and centrist focused on oil and gas, like Repubs (bending over, pandering to their big oil & gas donors), but more aligned with Obama and Biden's, balanced approach to US National Energy security, that focused less on oil & gas (despite staunch Repub opposition), but also more focused towards cleaner/renewable technologies.
By and large, Democrat administrations, in their more balanced approach to energy security, have been more forward thinking and progressive towards a cleaner energy future, by funding cleaner and renewable energy technologies and did not give up on supporting things like sustainable [b]fusion[/b], as exemplified in the latest fusion energy breakthrough, which is being hailed as clean energy game-changer (albeit, only some 10 to 20 years away, before large scale project plants are realized).
Your question, is a very apt and timely question, given the recent breakthrough of fusion. Perhaps now, even die-hard oil & gas Repubs (and some Dems), will be weaned-off their hard stance on fossil-fuels (but I doubt it!). BTW, I'm not saying oil & gas is going away (we still need it), just our massive dependency on it and the ability of foreign oil & gas dictators/producers to hold the US hostage.
Elvis, even you can see the efforts by the Dems, to fund these energy technologies, [b]is indeed a [u]BFD!!![/u][/b]
So much for your trusted formula
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2770636]You have a sample size of two years to show that your presidential model is bullshit. The market went up in 2021 when the Fed and Congress were pouring money into the economy, and it sucked in 2022 when the Fed was pulling money out. Duh. Right now, the bond market is predicting recession and later today Powell will probably say that he is going to keep the money supply tight. This has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with Biden.
To a censorship loving, civil rights hating, binary fool like yourself, the pandemic was all Trump's fault, and the Democratic governors had nothing to do with shutting down supply chains. Instead of passing on blame, I say everyone was responsible for the supply chain issues that resulted from the lockdowns and the subsequent inflation that followed. So unlike you douches with your Democrat good, Republican bad binary view of the world, I was saying the only part of inflation that I could lie at Biden's feet, and it was not all of it, was that he was partially responsible for higher energy prices because he kept knee capping American oil companies.
Still, we have all grown accustomed to you Tooms. Biden was president in both 2021 and 2022 so obviously the great market year in 2021 was due to Biden and the horrible market year in 2022 was due to Trump.
What you are not capable of doing is condemning Biden for this down year which is what you would have to do if you want anyone to believe your dumb theory that markets move to whom is president.
If you remember what I said, a president is like a referee in a game. He cannot create a good game but he can sure as hell screw one up. To that end, Biden is brain dead, the worst since GWB at least and probably worse than that. IMO you have to go back to Carter to find someone this bad.
When you have inflation, the correct move is to cut back on spending not spend like a drunken sailor as Biden has been doing. Biden is so stupid he said government spending does not cause inflation while everyone he put on the federal reserve is doing all they can to cut spending / demand to tame inflation.
If you want a Biden compliment, take that. At least Biden put economic advisers in place smarter than his stupid ass.[/QUOTE]Unless the incoming Redrawn Districts Red Tinkle Repubs somehow manage to shut down the USA Government to fuck up Biden's historic recovery, roaring economy and unnecessarily spook the hell out of the stock market before they even find their butts to put in the seats, the USA Stock Market as typically measured by the S&P 500 Index will have produced almost TWICE the gains at this stage of Biden's presidency as it did under Trump at this same stage of his so-called presidency. The DOW gains are virtually identical.
And for anyone wanting to calculate back to each election day rather than from inauguration day, bear in mind Biden's post-election Goodbye Trump relief rally from election day to the inauguration was one of the greatest of all time:

So I think some of us are wondering if you shorted the market in November of 2020 or January of 2021. If not, I guess your formulas and yield curves failed you.
Again, the fix for that is so simple
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2770722]
...
Spidy, can you post anything outside of Dems good, Republicans bad?
Hell, you can stop posting because we all know what you are going to say anyway.[/QUOTE]Well, it would be so much easier for Spidy and the rest of us to do that if only Repubs would for the love of gawd stop producing the worst results in history whenever the American electorate is careless, distracted, suckered or dumb enough to give them so much as a Red Tinkle opportunity to do it.
Somewhere around Reagan's first horrific term as potus, Repubs simply gave up trying to produce anything but their usual historic crap results while also deciding it would be easier and more politically rewarding for them to devote all their time trolling Dems and trying to thwart consistently superior Dem results instead. You know, to "own the libs".
They have essentially been running election campaigns on that "platform" ever since. And, post-1988, that "platform" has pretty much been a bust for them in terms of winning the most votes in presidential races. Which is obviously a big reason they then had to add rigging, cheating, suppression of likely Dem votes, violent, cop-killing insurrections, attempts to overturn free and fair elections and overthrow American democracy to their "own the libs" election campaign strategy.
Hey, maybe a few Trump Digital Trading Card gifts will win us over and we'll stop rankling you with the truth about "Repubs bad, Dems good. ".
Here is the energy policy I prefer
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2771312]Those are the answers I got when I asked Spidy whose energy policies he liked better: Obama's or Biden's? You all went back to Democrat good, Republican bad when asked a question that had nothing to do with Republicans at all.
In fact, you can look at energy policy like someone asking what 2 + 2 is? Trump and Obama both answered 4, and Biden answered 5, and all you dummies can do is say Trump is the devil.
Of course, Tiny broke it down for you.
But you fools are too dumb to even see any difference between Democrats.
When it gets really funny is when you look at the past.
Yeah, let's go with the race one here.
What party did Lincoln belong to when he announced the emancipation proclamation?
Was it a Republican or Democratic president in office when the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments of the Constitution were made into law?
Was it a Republican or Democrat president who was in office when the civil rights act of 1957 was signed into law?
With the civil rights act of 1964, which party's representatives in Congress passed it with a higher percentage?
As for the debate on the civil rights bill in 1964, it was the Democrats who led the filibuster against it.
Senator Strom Thurmond, who was still a Democrat at the time: "This so-called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress. ".
When the bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30,1964, the "Southern Bloc" of 18 southern Democratic Senators and lone Republican John Tower of Texas, led by Richard Russell, launched a filibuster to prevent its passage. Russell proclaimed, "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would tend to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our Southern states. ".
Senator Robert Byrd ended his filibuster in opposition to the bill on the morning of June 10,1964, after 14 hours and 13 minutes.
Furthermore, if you are going to claim credit for past Democratic legislation like social security for the Dems, you have to acknowledge the racist power brokers of Congress, the two most powerful of which were Sam Rayburn and Richard Russell, both vehemently opposed to civil rights for blacks.
So yes, we have the Democratic douches now, the party of Robert Byrd, Richard Russell, Sam Rayburn and the original party of Strom Thurmond, having the nerve to call Republicans racist.
So you douches could not even answer the simplest of questions, whose energy policy do you prefer Obama's or Biden's? All you could do was insult Republicans which says what you are all about. You are not interested in what is best for the country. All you care about is if something good happens to make sure Dems get credit for it, and if something bad happens, Republicans get the blame.
And such behavior shows us you all do not give a damn about the country. All you care about is yourselves.
But yeah, we get it. Republicans bad, Dems good, so you all can quit posting now. We can predict what you are going to say, no need to waste disc space.[/QUOTE]The energy policy I prefer is the same as the economic policy I prefer and the national security policy I prefer; the best one possible under the circumstances and conditions that exist at the time.
Count on Dems to accomplish that.
Count on Repubs to accomplish the exact opposite of it.
Obama's policies vs Biden's? What a silly and utterly irrelevant question. Any Dem's policies will produce better results than any Repub's policies because each will be appropriate to the circumtances and conditions that exist at the time.
The Repub's policies will be all about making wealthy people even wealthier at the great expense of everyone else and / or "owning the libs", because those are a hell of a lot easier goals in life and work to accomplish, perfect for lazy Know Nothing, Do Nothing Repubs. And neither are likely to produce particularly positive results, not even by accident, and are quite likely to produce horrific results instead. And, sure enough, that is what happens.
In praise of the Interstate Highway System
Thank you, FDR.
I have seen the Interstate Highway System mentioned lately as if it were some grand and glorious conception and accomplishment of a Repub POTUS.
Not exactly:
[URL]https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/interstate/interstatemyths.cfm[/URL]
[QUOTE]The Interstate System was first described in a Bureau of Public Roads report to Congress, Toll Roads and Free Roads, in 1939. It was authorized for designation by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, with the initial designations in 1947 and completed in 1955 under the 40,000-mile limitation imposed by the 1944 Act. President Eisenhower didnt conceive the Interstate System, but his support led to enactment of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which established the program for funding and building it.[/QUOTE]It was a great Dem economic and job creating idea that golfer Ike didn't object to very strongly or try to thwart as long as it was branded as a military / defense project and not the continuation of a Dem FDR New Deal project, which it was.
And, after all, with his typically atrocious Repub economic and job creating record materializing by then, Ike and his Party needed to retreat to a Dem New Deal fix for it despite their years' long efforts to demonize anything and everything related to the great FDR's great Dem New Deal policies.
