Socialism would have allowed for control over where that money could have been spent instead of allowing the companies to just do w/e the hell they wanted...
There are two types of politicians: crooks that resign in disgrace due to scandal, and crooks that haven't been caught yet. The school I went to, Georgetown, is the best of three universities in Washington, DC, and resultantly, every wannabe senator ends up going there if his grades are good. A politician is two-faced: on the one hand he appears friendly and kind to make himself presentable to the voters, and on the other hand he is brutal, manipulative, and ruthless, because this is what it takes to rise to power in either the Dems or the Reps, and that is what it takes to do the backstabbing, compromises, and strong-arming that is inherent in being a politician in the first place. A genuine, kind, well-meaning person CANNOT be an effective politician, because combining the two faces I am talking about is inherently fake and sociopathic. The President of any country can send thousands of men to die, (Bush,) and then sleep soundly at night. The better a politician is, the worse a human being he is. Jimmy Carter, widely known for being a wonderful person who has done tons for the community since retiring from the Presidency, is also seen as one of the shiittiest Presidents in US history. He was too nice, and the commies ran him over. He was replaced by Reagan, who basically had no soul, and Reagan was a WONDERFUL president, because he had the personality for it. Reagan also had no friends.
Quote:Also idk why you keep saying "Obama" as if no other politician (Bush) has ever tried to bail out another company.. I also don't see how that is socialism considering most of that money comes from "other country" based loans and those April Taxes we pay.. it's not the money that's taken from a pay check which is where the socialist taxes come from. Also idk why your acting as if the workers are to blame for Ford failing.
Bush was a $hitty president, as I have said repeatedly even in this thread. However, he enjoyed a better economy, and his worst buttfuuck into the American people were Medicare Part D and the Iraq War. Only 8 months into office, Obama is being fairly competitive with those two spending-wise, and he has at least 3.something more years to spend spend spend more.
Quote:Lastly please don't put words in my mouth... when a person says "one of the best" it usually means that something is high ranked.... not ranked the highest of the highest...
You're right, I misread your bit on the education. Sorries about that.
