Wendy Davis made this historical fact into an ad and then was instantly shat on by the right for "making fun of him being paralyzed" and for some reason the left bought into that framing and shat on her too

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Backstopping loans when no one else will is totally a "bailout". They could have just been allowed to fail and the assets nationalized. Why do people trot out nationalization as such a great solution? When you nationalize the you assume the assets and debts of an institution. Why in the hell would you want to pull the risk that was on bank balance sheets into the federal budget? Ireland nationalized their failing banks and it was a giveaway to the creditors because now the taxpayer was literally on the hook to Goldman Sachs or whoever owned the hosed up CDS, and it hosed up the Irish government for awhile.

Vladimir Putin posted:Yes but like I said, he didn't give them money. He loaned them money like a bank would and made a profit when they repaid it. This was backed by warrants for ownership rights to the company. The thinking behind it was that the banks that were in trouble had liquidity problems not solvency problems and just needed time to work everything out. Propping up hugely corrupt failures definitely was a great idea compared to just having them shot and nationalizing their assets so they can be put to use helping people instead of making the amount of money sitting idle in the coffers of the 1% go up a bit more every quarter. This move definitely reversed the trend of money being hoarded at the top resulting in a top heavy economy that is now teetering on the brink of yet another collapse GM is fine because they actually employed people, although even then it wasn't fine because employees still got jobbed. And like Serf says, the net result of this pro-finance pragmatism was Donald Trump so lol

Also he went jogging in a thunderstorm and had a tree fall on him, making it one of the dumbest lawsuits imaginable It doesn't look like the parts of his brain that controlled his legs has been repurposed into better decision making since.

BTW it's funny that Abbott is paraplegic because he's a bad person and bad people should be mocked for every aspect of their existence. Like Mike Thernovith

This move definitely reversed the trend of money being hoarded at the top resulting in a top heavy economy that is now teetering on the brink of yet another collapse Again nationalization is not a good idea because 1) you're responsible for the assets and debts 2) now you have a bank to run 3) the systemic problem still exists--there was a massive liquidity problem in that the failing banks couldn't pay their obligations 4) you can nationalize and say 'gently caress you' to all debts, but the problem still remains. The risk of systemic collapse was because of problem #3. Dissolving these debts would make it even worse.

Obama promised to make them pay and then he gave them a big sloppy blowy and returns to the same people who had ruined millions of lives every lever of power they had before. Nobody cares about the nuanced financial aspects and blahblahblah, as though anybody can actually predict how things will be after a major shakeup. Don't nationalize then, distribute everything we'd take over otherwise to banks that aren't proven to be predatory failures and just write off the debt like we essentially did at the time anyway by buying it all up Pay off the debt and toxic assets we took on board by having the people responsible for killing your mom by kicking her out on the street for being 36 cents short on a mortgage payment executed on Pay Per View

Sorry but since Obama is an actual leader unlike Trump he cared about the details because they actually matter.
