You must miss Obama giving Wall Street Bankers $4.4 Trillion in 'Quantitative Easing' free cash..

I think without it we wouldn’t have the economy trump inherited. I also think all those Wall Street guys should have gone to jail, But they got the easy way out like Epstein and the rest of the elite.
Had bush not deregulated the markets which led to the debacle we would have never needed QE. That simple

Our Democracy is young and an experiment. It is fragile, always has been. I think the question is about capitalism as we practice it . Is it sustainable? ( no I’m not a socialist) Does it or need to be tweaked , so it does not leave the masses wanting. Right now and especially under trump the table is slanted towards the wealthy. This is the only reason they tolerate trump . The 1% are getting everything they want so they turn a blind eye towards this morally corrupt man.

As long as we allow the likes of a man like trump divide us ,our republic is in grave danger.
As it stands trump has learned to grasp the fear of the working class an empowered himself by selling false relief to their woes .

You do know the stock market made plenty of money while obummer was in office. The upper 1% were in high cotton. Obummer was and still is tight with hollywood trash and industry titans. The middle class and working poor suffered. This has been going on forever yet you write as though it started under DJT. What I wrote will not matter to you nor will your words matter to me. That's where we are at in this country. Most people are obstinate in their political views. This too did not start under Donald Trump.

Is there a law in canada that says news reported has to be facts and truth ?

Yes.

Spreading false news

181 Every one who wilfully publishes a statement, tale or news that he knows is false and that causes or is likely to cause injury or mischief to a public interest is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
 
You would like censorship? Who would make the determination what’s true of false ? Are we taking Soviet style ? Eliminating freedom of the press because it doesn’t meet a particular party interest. Do you really want to lose that ? Do we start with Fox ? Do we start with CNN ? Or is it everyone?

I understand some press may not meet the needs of the current administration but do we want to lose our freedoms like this. I think we need to think long and hard about that . Most people should be able to discern in accurate news with some research. If you get your news from ones source or group of sources with the same bias then you may have trouble.

Court of law determines if it’s a false statement.

And that's the way it should be. Presenting oneself as a "NEWS" program, whether it be television, radio, newspaper or internet blog, carries a civic responsibility to report facts, and not opinion. The one man who most exemplified this was Walter Cronkite. If you watched the evening news on CBS Channel 2 and Walter said it...you could be sure it was a fact. Period. There are far too many sources who present themselves as news outlet and care very little for the accuracy of the "news" they report. This happens on both sides of the political fence. The root cause of the great divide in this country today is "propagandized opinion" advertised as news.

Hmmm ... that’s funny.

This must be fake news it’s not from the state tv.

I think it's funny. Obama did NOTHING to stimulate the economy. He relied on the FED which kept interest rates at near zero for the entire time Hussein was in office.

A monkey could grow the economy with zero interest rates. And Obama started from the bottom up. Once all those people lost their jobs in 2009 Obama could count on them being added back INTO the job count as they came back from high unemployment rates.

Trump is adding jobs when unemployment is historically low. Now THAT'S impressive.

Nothing ? So he either did something or he didn’t.. which is it ?
History will tell. trumps pressing the feds to lower short term interest rates now . Will see what happens.
I will over look the monkey comment as not being hate because I don’t think you meant it as that.
Just one question. Who led us to the bottom you mentioned?

How did they force them to offer those loans? Just curious what your sources say on the matter.
