The Bribe-o-spheres and the Spoils-o-spheres remain intact with GoldieSacks at the reins.
Selfish, covetous, grabbing Fucktards are the basis of all economic wealth and progress!
The only exception is Obama - if he wasn't elected, there would be another Great Depression. Or even two of these.
On one hand he is right it does not matter who the prez is while he is in office.
OTOH there certainly is regime uncertainty that we saw under Obama and FDR.
The real damage will come down the road when the ACA and Dodd Frank come to fruition.
a president who reduces regulation helps grow the economy.
case study: Britain vs. German post WW2.

That's right.

Tell me more.
Germany, a country which 'lost' two world wars and had the war fought in their country. Your comparison leaves a lot to be desired.
Try Clinton/Bush v Obama. What do those economies show? (Hint: the US isn't drowning in overregulation of markets right now.)

They certainly are, that is a big part of the reason the economy took so long to recover. Dodd Frank, ACA, Sarbanes Oxley, TSA, Homeland security, the alphabet soup of federal agencies, etc.
ACA, TSA, and Homeland security are economic regs? Please. Just more anti-goverment to be anti-government drivel.
Shortly after dereg what happened to MBSes and the housing market? (Bubble and POP!) There is no such thing as a completely un-regulated market and when you de-regulate you increase risks and destabilize a man made system that actually survives and RUNS ON regulations/laws. It is a balance. You can have too many regs. But what ails our economy isn't stifling regulations.
Prediction: Trump has to respond to a mass shooting about every two months, and near the end of his first term (if the alligators in his swamp don't eat him) he will be holding the reigns of an economic crisis of his (not Obama's) own making.
(Also, just so we are clear on what "Repeal and Replace" will look like for the ACA ... it will actually be "defund some measures and improve". Also any legislation that can be passed probably will take up to two years or more. Prove me wrong Trump/world. Prove me wrong.)
Ah yes. The Brexit movie. Made by a pro-communist climate denier. Funny, that sounds kind of like ...
Just more anti-goverment to be anti-government drivel.
Anti free market drivel is the only thing that you are talking about.
You have not noticed any infringement on your civil liberties since 9-11? You must be a zombie
You have not noticed that you cannot keep your Dr or plan since the ACA and the new plan cost a lot more? you must be a zombie.
Preceding all of the MBSs, HELOC abuse, speculation, AIG stupidity, rating agency abuse, liar loans, was one thing.
That one thing was Greenspan lowering the interest rates in 2002 that CAUSED the bubble. A little appreciated FACT is that this moronic move by Greenspan was also accompanied by an increase in the demand by the boomers. Which is why housing sales are so low.

The economy 'doesn't really care who's president,' economist says
When a commie liberal is in charge, they always say that the uncertainty that causes is bad for the economy, because corporations are too cautious in their planning.
I don't know. From my view this is one of the most uncertain times we've ever seen. Although at the beginning of Trumps term, the prospect of unprecedented deficit spending by the government should prevent a total collapse, at least in the short run.

Agreed

Mostly because of demographics.

Most of that will be entitlements, which goes to people that do not spend much, i.e. it won't help.
What will help is when millennials start buying houses, albeit there has to be some education in the Latinos otherwise there won't be much house buying. But the statistics indicate they are more educated.

probably true
"I thought he wrote about people who support things like the patriot act."
I'll give you 10 to 1 that if Trump came out in support of the Patriot Act, then Bass would be the biggest Patriot Act fan out there.

To many the Capt'n appears nonsensical, because he thinks his own thoughts. Regarding Trump the Capt'n represents a common view in that we are sick and fucking tired of Obama's bullshit.

it is in the video...around the middle.

Yeah thanks, I listened to it.
An interesting dichotomy that showed the difference between the two.
But the statistics indicate they are more educated.
Education.....is that what they do in 2/5 star schools in Los Angeles?

Maybe they will push to end gun free zones and put pressure on drug companies regarding the hidden harms of SSRI drugs

If this ever hits the main stream it will be time to short Eli Lilly et.al. it will make the Phillip Morris law suit look like small claims court.

I finished that video. EXCELLENT, especially when they talked about Switzerland.
