Have you forgotten that it was the DEMOCRATS, during the Obama administration that said they had to give money to businesses that were "TOO BIG TO FAIL"? And POUS Obama received record amounts of MULT-MILLION DOLLAR POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS. These did NOT come from the Middle Class or poor. They came from MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES. In the last few decades, the DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BECOME THE PARTY OF THE ULTRA-RICH. REPUBLICANS receive a much higher number of SOFT MONEY CONTRIBUTIONS ( $200 or less).

Your trouble it that you cann't see the difference between 'Cons'. I'm a conservative. To me, the 'cons' you seem to refer to are Conservatives. I didn't like any of those bailouts. I doubt many do. The other 'cons' are convicts which I believe all to many socialist politicians and few Conservatives should be. They and your ilk are robbing America of what it truly should be, or it is no longer a leader. And the democrats are leading us/you down that rat hole led by biden

A conservative ???
A conservative what ?
Conservatives have written and passed zero bills. They don’t really represent a party anymore as the conservatives have all been expelled from the GOP .
So , the conservative idea that so clutchingly gets brought into anything Republican.
Well, “I’m a conservative” as though this will stop everything in its tracks.
Just by blurting it out. It’s never define exactly wtf a conservative is.
It’s only an abstract defense for lying republicans.
Well , I’m a conservative !
Wh**ever,
That means.

The businesses you refer to were taken over by the government and every penny that was given to them has been repaid.
It was done to also save the jobs and to keep people working.
Why would youz be against that ?

And too big to fail was Reagan .
And his Voodoo economics program .
He essentially abolished the
Sherman Anti Trust Act .
This act was to prevent companies from becoming too big to fail.
Why is why our problems today are do much bigger. Too big to fail commands larger bail out checks from the government.

Politicians have no money to give anybody. Their promises of any "bailout" is really a promise to v**e on policies for the "inclusive-capitalistic and international-minded lobbyist" that are colluding with the owners of the central bank to print currency that will be in circulation to pollute the value of "the fiat dollar (an IOU piece of paper with interest). The "c**p d' gra" to the free market was August 1, l971, when President Nixon announced that "gold will no longer be attached to the dollar. The FED now owns the "free market" completely. The entire West has been a s***e to Marx's economic (Keynesian) system for a long time. Trump has attempted "constitutionally to reverse this situation of s***ery. But the Manhattan propaganda machine has ginned-up lies and hatred against him throughout the Western World, The elitist of Europe and the Rockafeller-Blackrock-Soros backed CFR are saying, "How dare anyone go against us as the American Revolutionaries went against King George in the Eighteenth Century?" Follow the money and you will know what's happening.

Do ewe have any more questions?

It doesn't matter if you liked the bailouts--they are what keeps our economy going. And when Trump was in office he ran at least a trillion dollar deficit each and every year except the last when he blew the lid off of it. I don't know of a single conservative who cared about how much money Trump spent, nor that his borrow and spend habits amounted to 5% of a yearly GDP that never produced more than 3.3%. So if not for government borrowing Trump's economy would have tanked, he would have blamed Democrats, and you...being logically correct...would have agreed with any words that came out of his mouth...

As for the rest, I don't care. When it comes to government and the economy under Republicans. Reagan was borrow and spend. George Jr was borrow and spend. Trump definitely borrow and spend. Poppy Bush was the only Republican who stood up to debt and you cons crucified him and gave the presidency to democrats for the next 8 years...served you right.

The lot that makes up today's Cons are hypocrites. You scream when a Democrat spends money and you look the other way when a Republican spends money and you sure as hell don't care when your Capitalist Economy is propped up, again and again and again, by the American Government. All that debt that you are crying about is the only thing that's kept your capitalistic economy going since Ronald Reagan. Take it away and we would be in a depression like none other ever experienced...you cons would blame us...and the political top would go on spinning just as before...

You keep accusing me in your long winded rant full of bull s**t. I don't condone excessive borrowing and excessive spending. And the democrats are worse at the game. So F. O.
