Yeah, this is at best wish casting and at worst deliberately disingenuous propaganda. Obama was a liberal or not, because he opened the US to the largest expansion of for-profit fossil fuel extraction in history, and championed fracking, and even presided over the militarized police beatings of indigenous protestors of oil pipelines.
Liberals don’t believe any of this
@db2 @frisbird well at least he made an effort to make healthcare slightly more affordable if not actually affordable.
He had the trifecta and the best they could do was continue expanding the profits of the insurance companies. They could have done literally anything else and it would have been better but they fundamentally believe in the markets, they believe everyone should work, they believe benefits should be means tested and they believe that only compliant people should be given any benefits, and that anyone getting benefits should be in full poverty.
@frisbird still better than “a concept of a plan.” The insurance industry is criminal.
What? Again, the ACA made the insurance industry HUGE profit increases. It was essentially a custom crafter byzantine program that was designed to enrich them with some scraps thrown to the people to make them OK with it. Obama ALSO bailed out all the big banks during the GFC and let the masses rot.
Yep.
The right way to do that would be to let the shitty big companies fail, and then bail out the workers and other actual people who suffer in the fallout.
When I’m elected King of the World, all future economic bailouts will only go to individual workers who are impacted by the economic problems. Banks and other companies can go fuck themselves. They’re easily replaced, as long as the actual people are doing okay.
You got my vote
Disagree.
The right way to do it would have been to nationalize the banks.
Eh … national banks can still be shitty.
But you can elect who runs the bank. If it’s shitty, elect someone else (or the executive that nominates them, however it works)
You can’t elect who runs Bank of America, yet we bailed them out. Absurd. Bailouts should mean nationalization.
