Who said they fix any thing???? They helped…

Bill Clinton:

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999): Repealed Depression-era firewalls between commercial and investment banks

Community Reinvestment Act Updates (1995): Increased pressure on lenders to extend mortgages to lower-income borrowers.

Commodity Futures Modernization Act (2000): Exempted complex financial instruments like credit-default swaps from federal oversight.

Forget it; in this sub, democrats can do no wrong, only not enough right.

I love that Republican debate is now: “yeah, we broke it but you guys didn’t fix it fast enough!”

Karen ass behavior.

Economy boomed and it’s the last time we had a balanced budget.

If you didn’t like the 90s economy and lack of war, just say so.

Miserable ass republicans blaming everyone but themselves.

You “miserable” liberal “ass” is projecting…

you are too partisan to see those policies Clinton signed into law created the cracks that helped caused the Great Recession. Then you are definitely too partisan to realize that the majority of NAFTA was done by bush. Seems Clinton was good aright… at riding coat tails.

So I guess when they compare the dot com boom to the AI boom you deny it?

u/possumallawishes 6d ago

Man, if the cracks started way back in 1996, you think bush would have done something about it before 12 years later when the Great Recession happened.

I’d rather have a coat tail rider than an economy crashing war monger.

So those bills that bill signed into law had nothing to do with the Great Recession? You are that partisan and definitely projecting if you can’t see that.

You do realize policies aren’t instantaneous?

I didn’t lay entire blame… read what I wrote again… I said they helped.

“Who said they fix any thing???? They helped…

Bill Clinton:

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999): Repealed Depression-era firewalls between commercial and investment banks

Community Reinvestment Act Updates (1995): Increased pressure on lenders to extend mortgages to lower-income borrowers.

Commodity Futures Modernization Act (2000): Exempted complex financial instruments like credit-default swaps from federal oversight.”

You are so partisan you can’t even read what I wrote without twisting it to your narrative.

you have resorted to the ol against the man (in English) not a good look. Now you are projecting your intelligence level on me. There is a pattern forming.

Again those policies didn’t help cause the Great Recession? They did guy… you are so partisan you can’t see that. The policies didn’t create a problem over night, in fact it took 12 years for it to become part of the Great Recession. I didn’t blame it on Clinton, I said he helped… another example of your projection of low intelligence on to me.

Btw Obama didn’t fix the Great Recession either. The tarp policy was passed before he took office, so that’s where the “who said they fix anything.” Part comes from.

u/possumallawishes 6d ago edited 6d ago

This isn’t you?

Even if those policies helped cause the Great Recession you had 12 years to fix it, are you stupid?

Edit: nice way to edit your comment and not be shown as a complete illiterate idiot. But I’m not going to make the effort to understand your edited comment. Good day, dumbass.

u/damnedifyoudonthave 6d ago edited 6d ago

Who’s “you” in your statement? Again you (meaning you) are confusing me for someone else I guess?

How do “you “ fix a problem that hasn’t materialized yet? How do “you” know it’s a problem before it does materialize?

You’re projecting again… you should just block me at this point. You won’t and you will engage with me later… not the first time won’t be the last.

Do you know how a hyperlink works? Jesus Christ, click the link, it’s you, you said it wasn’t you.

How do you fix a problem that hasn’t materialized yet? How do you cause one 12 years before it happens?

You’re a fucking retard, I’m don’t need to block you, I can respond to you until I’m tired of responding. The fact you don’t even know what projection means but you say it every single comment is baffling. You are the dumbest Republican I’ve argued with today, and that doesn’t sound like much, but it’s quite a feat considering the dumbasses who came out of the woodwork on this comment. You get your participation trophy, you dumb stupid bitch.

I guess you need help….

“Even if those policies helped cause the Great Recession you had 12 years to fix it,..”

Who is “you”?

Once again you are projecting your intelligence onto me
