Anyone who didn't vote for President Obama deserves to be unemployed.

We all take advantage of things that are against our political views especially when we have little other choice.

He's a douchebag for other reasons but I can't fault a guy for taking a job.

Joe ran for congress two years ago? :lol: :lol:


Agree with Rick, unfortunately. He's a douchebag, but not really for this.

Ok. I will take the bait.

I'm not d-bagging him for taking a job. Gotta feed the kids, Chicago. This guy went on a media tour to trash President Obama, because his policies kept ol' Joe from following his dream, starting up his plumbing company. He even wrote a book about it. If this guy was such a skilled plumber, why isn't he plumbing? Why isn't he sticking to his values? He is a big phony douchebag, hence the nomination.

The fact that Mr. anti-union, anti-Obama took a union job with a company saved by Obama's horrible policies, is a huge plate of irony, that I find to be delicious.

You seem to be nominating him for joining a union even though he was anti-union. I'm sure if he had other options he would. However, he clearly doesn't.

I'm sure you benefited from some Republican policies in the last 10 years too.

Forgot about that. Now that was a stimulus after 9/11. Give everyone $300 a couple times and watch them go spend and stimulate. It worked.

Or blow millions on green battery companies, solar panels and bankers that all fuck you.

I see a difference.

How did it work? The economy completely tanked after he cut taxes, and spent like a drunken sailor.

Cutting taxes and dramatically increasing spending is the right way to go?

Tax policy was peripheral, deficit spending is what is always was.

The reasons for the collapse go far deeper than "Bush cut taxes and spent a lot!"

Bush's policies had no effect on the economy that tanked on his watch?

You said that I swung and missed. You obviously disagreed with my post, which would mean that you agree with this one:

I actually do agree with this, but it didn't cause the collapse in 2006

And of course, I never said the below, so I'm not sure what you're trying to argue? I said they were peripheral which means they weren't the prime driver.

I remember that speech, the 300 dollars was going to "...get our economy back on track." It was the first of many failed stimulus plans and schemes.

Many tried, all failed.

Japan called, they want their ongoing economic collapse back.

It actually didn't. It happened after the financial collapse. The $800 Obama gave over the course of a year had a bigger impact put it wasn't noticeable because it came out to like $40 every 2 weeks in your paycheck.
