Bill Maher Attacks Sanders & Says Americans Should Sellout

[Reece]

Bernie who wants a bunch of free shyt for everyone would let the nation fall into poverty? Sorry, that's not believable. Yes, big banks too big to fail would have gone away and been broken up but no one was going to be in some deep poverty. This is still the United States, we would still be the richest country in the world that prints it's it' money. The nightmare scenario is not believable. Nice try though.

IF YOU DID NOT BAIL OUT THE BANKS, THE ENTIRE GLOBAL ECONOMY WOULD HAVE COLLAPSED. ARE YOU STUPID OR ARE YOU DUMB?

Yeah and a good counter measure are social programs which Bernie is all about. And breaking them up entails keeping the assets in tact otherwise there is like nothing to break up, right?

He would’ve had to bail them out first to restore confidence. Whatever he did afterwards is neither here nor there. Thus, the comments in this thread about Obama being a Wall Street puppet are not only shortsighted but disrespectful considering he took a fukked up situation head on and made it out in one piece. Any President would have had to do the same thing. And breaking up the banks is a temporary solution. Eventually they’d consolidate again. I mean look around. AT&T bought Time Warner. T-Mobile bought Sprint. CVS bought Aetna. Walgreens bought Rite Aid. BB&T bought SunTrust. Companies have been merging left and right the last few years. Banks would be no different.

No you want hurt the confidence of the bad actors in the financial crisis and point out the good ones and punish accordingly with fines as well as breaking them up and staring spin offs that have a better record of management. That would actually help restore confidence in the government instead of the banks. And if then there would be a bunch of big mergers causing the value of the now bigger companies to increase would that be good for Wall St. or nah?

That still involves bailing the banks out and giving them billions of dollars. I hate when people speak on economics and don’t really have a clue what they’re talking about. And we know Bernie. We know his spiel. There’s no way he would’ve bailed the banks out. He would’ve been fighting them at every step as bailing them out goes completely against his “core values” and it would’ve led us right into fall of the USSR type poverty

As we know, Pres. Obama had the option of bailing out the bank and home owners, chose not to bail out homeowners and have the bankers, along with his wall street allied economic advisers to write the bailout agenda. He was strong armed by bankers/economic advisers because for one, he needed to sustain political capital to pass his signature legislation, Obamacare

No doubt in my mind Bernie with the option to help both citizens and banks, would've done so without watering down banking regulations like Glass Siegal, during an econimic crisis cause by bankers because his entire career has been about helping the people while regulating corporate greed, unlike Pres. Obama

lol a lot of the moderate obama dikk riders solution is just let the banks and wall street do whatever they want or we will become venezuela. gtfoh

 

[R. Money]

See what I mean? Classic example of a Moron right here who has no clue on what he’s speaking about. We avoided another Great Depression because Obama rushed to saved the banks. And you talk about the Great Depression like it was nothing. It’s not a game. It was TEN YEARS of people starving, dying, being homeless and having no money. COUNTRY WIDE. That could’ve easily been us. You fukking idiot. And FDR didn’t end the Great Depression. World War II did. Please pick up a history book.

You're just plain old stupid.

Those mergers had to be approved by the government and only happened because the corporate friendly Obama administration failed to enforce antitrust laws. A Sanders administration wouldn't approve the merger of banks that they just broke up into the same too big to fail entities that caused the issues in the first place.

The fukk? Half of those mergers happened this year or last year. We're in the Trump administration in case you forgot. Obama been gone almost four years now

GLASS STEAGALL was effectively repealed by President Clinton. Years before Obama came into office. Get your facts straight.

Bailing out the banks bailed out the people. Do you not understand economics? Banks loan money. Businesses borrow money for operations. They hire people. Who then spend money which helps other businesses grow. Who then hire people. Who then spend money. People also borrow money from banks. They spend and stimulate the economy the same way. If there's no money to lend, the system freezes immediately. Bernie Bros, if there employed to begin with , would have no job. What Bernie would have did in addition to bailing out the banks is not important because my point was he would have had to bail out the banks. Period. Your Prophet would have had to give BILLIONS OF US DOLLARS to Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup too

You're just plain old stupid.

Right back at you faggit

...good ole trickle down economics is what this country has been missing. Thankfully both parties have ensured it's implementation regardless of presidential outcome

Spoiler

"watering down banking regulations" is my way of criticizing and acknowledging Pres. Obama efforts at the same time. Criticize for not backing efforts by Warren, Bernie and few others to reinstall key parts of glass steagall, but acknowledging his support for dodd-frank and volcker rule
