The people in charge of the pocketbooks of our leaders are pretty clearly trying to force a major recession right now, I'm not sure this is the best fight to be picking with the man who has literally hundreds of other things he's wrong about. Find some lower hanging fruit.

Does anyone else remember that time when half of the internet, especially on reddit, was completely obsessed with Ron Paul and getting him elected

Never understood that. Someone I thought was smart even got caught up in that.

IIRC I remember Robert Reich saying it's impossible for another Great Depression to happen due to the social safety nets put into place during the FDR administration. The worst you'd get is a Great Recession since people would still be able to spend due to government relief programs. You would have to completely eliminate all social programs to get another Great Depression.

Biden said something similar, back when you could still see brown in his hair. It's not an uncommon position, to think that the US should act with greater care instead of just throwing our weight around. People who use those arguments though often aren't calling for better foreign policy that doesn't manipulate/disrespect our allies. People always go to weird extremes with their kernel of truth, like that Libertarian account was doing. They nestle that bad boy over the fire until it pops into one big fluffy, shitty popcorn.

Weve pretty much been in one. I wake up and go to bed hungry most days because of food costs and stagnant wages. Property ownership was like $150,000 when I grew up and now its $700,000 yet wages havent gone up to match it?

Can we put the brakes on the inflation and devaluation of the currency though?
