Obama: "Unemployment Benefits Create Jobs"

[AZGrizFan]

No, we were a country built on capitalism until FDR was elected.

Yeah, Because the republicans and their destruction of millions of jobs and contribution to crime via the Volstead Act was a boon for the economy. Until Prohibition, almost 1/3 of the US revenue came from alcohol. With the income tax, destroying the brewers and distillers became so much easier.

FDR did the best he could with what he had. No thanks to the Republicans.

Hmmmm....Republicans, eh? Doesn't a constitutional amendment require a certain # of STATES to approve?

Don't you need an amendment to be passed by the HoR an Senate before it goes to the states? And didn't republican as well as democrat controlled states ratify it? Didn't republicans campaign on continuing the failed policy?


Hmmm?

The best Republican President of the 20th century was talking about universal healthcare, entrenched wealth and power, a living wage, and retirement with dignity some 30 years before FDR. The country thrives on regulated capitalism.

Silly kalm. Those things are only socialist when DONKS propose them.

Exactly. TARP didn't become a socialist program until January 20, 2009.

There weren't a lot of conservatives who supported TARP. Just politicians.

Just Conservatives in Name Only, right?

No, it was a socialist program when it was enacted in 08'. The only people who supported it were donks and RINOS.

34 RINO Senators voted for it. 15 mostly conservative senators voted against it.
39 Donk Senators voted for it. 9 voted against
2 Independent's split, with Lieberman for and Sanders against.
The drunk from Mass was the only non vote

In the House:
"Democrats voted 172 to 63 in favor of the legislation, while Republicans voted 108 to 91 against it; overall, 33 Democrats and 24 Republicans who had previously voted against the bill supported it on the second vote."

Overall Congress:
Republicans 125 for, 123 against
Democrats 211 for, 72 against

It was the RINO half of the Republican party that voted for it. No one who voted for that socialist piece of crap can call themselves a conservative. And that includes Bush.

Yep. Just RINOS
