  1. The New Deal was a one-off to address massive unemployment (like today) He implemented it after being elected, Roosevelt gave no details on the election trail...knew that he was getting in, on the strength of not being Hoover (sic) True that a lot of that employment was generated by massive public works projects - but given the situation - needs must. Also Roosevelt was the first President to take advantage of new media (radio) in address the fears and discontents caused by the depression, and re-assure citizens that government had not forsaken them.
  2. GOP senators urge Trump not to restrict guest worker visas https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/499788-gop-senators-urge-trump-not-to-restrict-guest-worker-visas Sometimes, it all depends on who's ox is being gored
  3. Top 5 Presidential Job creators: 1. Bill Clinton (1993-2001): Most number of jobs created of all Presidents (18.6 million jobs) 15.6% increase, the third-largest percentage increase 2. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945): Largest Percentage Increase. 21.5%, of all Presidents 3. Ronald Reagan (1981-1989): Second-Largest Job Creator, 16.5 million jobs during his eight-year term, a 16.5% increase. Reagan was the second-largest job creator both number-wise and percentage-wise. 4. Jimmy Carter (1977-1981): Fourth-Largest Job Increase 9.8 million jobs, a 10.9% increase. 5. Harry Truman (1945-1953): Fourth-Largest Percentage Increase 6.9 million jobs. The 13% increase was the fourth-largest among modern presidents.
  4. We know the issues already existed, but no excuse for the disgraceful manner for which Trump has simply exacerbated them. In Trumpland, people don't seem to need to weigh and evaluate the media on a case basis, but merely play follow the leader.....
  5. Republicans have been pushing that stupid trickle down economic theory, since Reagan. Because that theory works pretty well for the people that really count. And those people are not the bulk of working Americans.
  6. You do know that the hypnotized never lie....
  7. Taking the existing inequalities as well, as the social, racial, and political differences and disagreements already in America....and making them much worse, by using them all as wedge issues for political gain through non-stop dog whistling and gas-lighting.....is actually pretty bad.
  8. He also knows how to shine up Trump, by repeating whatever conspiracy blather the leader comes up with. As I stated before, people need to really check out the makeup of Trump's Cabinet and understand that the "swamp " is not being drained, but is now overflowing at its banks.....
  9. The way some people are ignoring protective measures.....we will have a extended or 2nd wave of the virus, to downplay and discount.
  10. From the White House on down...
  11. Trump certainly believes in the First Amendment. For himself, only.
  12. Whatever else happens, at least I passed the audition....
  13. Grey Cup in Winnipeg makes sense....
  14. Government has announced, this morning that "Every one who wants a test, can get a test." They now have enough tests, so that all citizens can simply order and receive one, upon request. Congratulations, Denmark.
  15. Not up to my standards, but he is somewhat young and inexperienced....
  16. Still defending champs though.....and may be for a while
  17. McGuire stands in the pocket well, and throws a nice ball. Tools are there...
  18. Making headway in being able to work from home, going forward, until I decide to pull the retirement plug.....
  19. Yup, total nut job, alright
  20. Seen some survey results, that indicate a surprising amount of Republican supporters would actually believe this
