embrace the new century brah, Reagan economy was good, with costs. how about how great 2000-2008 was and the resulting disaster it wroth ? no free lunch, great for some but most were left out or negatively impacted in the end.

The impending disaster was the "voodoo economics" guy that followed, and we enjoyed the economic gains via private investment throughout the Clinton years.

As good as the Clinton+republican congress economy was in the 90s, it ended with the most massive market crash and loss of individuals' wealth since the Great Depression.
 
2008. Democrats took over in 2006 and sabotaged things. We saw it in the 1980s, and then again in the 2000s.

In no way, shape, or form, should the government have been encouraging banks to make horrible loans, in quantity, with the governmet guaranteeing their losses would be covered.

yet the regulations imposed that would avert any such thing under Obama have been targeted for repeal or already repealed under trump and republicans. think massive consolidation of wealth whenever one reads downturn, recession correction and like euphemisms.

isn't the security exchange commission under the department of commerce, and weren't they responsible for monitoring derivatives trading, and isn't that agency a cabinet appointment that oversaw the meltdown of the too big to fail banks. weren't the tools in place pre dodd frank to avert the banking disaster? if not why on earth is trump undoing them?

To be fair, I think the Democrat Congress set stage for the Obama catastrophe.
It was about 2004 when my daughter and her husband had just bought a new home in Raleigh NC. They were telling me about how the prices when up about 30 35 thousand as each street of new homes were completed and sold. The banks were handing out this money as if there were no basis for the value of a dollar. FHA ready loans which the banks sold within six months of closing the deal with the buyers. Of coarse theses loans were the bundled and resold as some sort of paper.

15 years before I was still working with the Fed to get enough info from the Banks daily federal reserve report to keep inflation in the box. I couldn't quite grasp how this system worked any longer.
It didn't, the problem was way larger, due to the largess of the Democrats wanting a house for everyone.

It required an act of congress. Democrats blocked it from getting out of committee. They wanted poor people to have homes, which is a nice ideal, but the unintended consequences were brutal.
 
O'Reilly is a tool, but he got this "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" moment perfectly.

Look at the spelling Nazi, worshipping at his altar of spelling.

Side note: "worshipping" was underlined as misspelled which confused the hell out of me. Apparently, "worshipping" is the British spelling and "worshiping" is the American spelling? I had no idea--I don't think I've ever seen "worshiping." I don't live in Britain. I did read a lot of Enid Blyton as a kid, though.

Well, lawai'a did ask a question and the answer varied the course.

It's either the very definition of comedy or, as I said earlier, a country song. Who you going to believe, me or Seth Rogan? We're both experts in our fields.

Seth Rogen is the guy from "She thinks my Tractor is sexy" right?

Oh, and it's Rogen with an "e" (I owe you a spelling mistake fix).
