There was a country ... ( 7 months ago by RobynHarris)
There was a country that took your advice. It was called the Weimar Republic in Germany.
Printing more cash lead to hyperinflation, collapse of the currency, massive unemployment, the disintegration of the government and civil society, and the eventual rise of Nazism, Adolf Hitler, World War II, and 50,000,000 deaths.

Read the rest of my posts... In a fiat money system, the main choice you have is to print more money... That's way it's a B.S. system... And I know all about Weimar Republic... They we're suffering because of the treaty of versailles was a pretty unfair document and you can see the type of extremism when a country is rapped of it's wealth. Or individuals for the matter.

> ...there was a shortage of cash and the Fed only needed to print more money to stabilize the economy.> And also I don't advocate printing it out of thin air either.
I'm not sure how you reconcile those two statements. I agree that a commodity backed currency is inherently more stable than a floating currency. But the Federal Reserve System was created in 1913 when FDR was a state senator in NY. Why is it his fault?

I'm not entirely sure if you are being sarcastic, but yes. I know it disappoints many conservatives to know that Liberals think America kicks ass too, because they would rather have just another reason to hate us. We don't care about the troops? We are the ones that care the most. We don't want them to be risking their lives any more than they already have. Is this not demonstrating the greater interest in the soldier's well being. Oh and not all of us love Bill Clinton and his Nafta Corporatism
Oh no, I wasn't ... ( 5 months ago by cinemaman3105)
Oh no, I wasn't being sarcastic lol. I really meant it. I hate Democrats letting themselves be bullied by neocons who only care about money and Jesus (though I dont think they know that worshipping one is supposed to prevent worshipping another). I'm a Democrat and I hate the Clinton's too. They've destroyed the credibility of our party, but Barack's winning it back.
Yes sorry it's ... ( 5 months ago by 1DerekRubin1)
Yes sorry it's impossible to say nowadays. Youtube is a very large agalmagation of sarcasm, and douchebaggery. You never know. But yeah with me it's politicians period lately. FDR is the last president about whom I love. All the presidents since have been corrupt or total weaksauce. FDR knew how to take charge. I mean is it strange us Democrats haven't been getting as much power as we should? Oh wait, our last presidents were Jimmy Careter and Bill Clinton. We need more like Kucinich and Gravel

notice how the ... ( 5 months ago by MMZ)
notice how the Republicans trash this country and then leave it up to the Democrats to fix solve the problems they caused like all the time. FDR brought America out of the Depression that Hoover caused. Clinton turned Reagan's deficit into a surplus. And now, Obama will restore the great image of the United States that the monkey who is our current president managed to destroy. when will people learn? the Democratic Party is THE American party.
Hoover didn't cause ... ( 5 months ago by wingatei)
Hoover didn't cause a depression; to some, extent, world war two brought us out of it. Politicians don't run the economy or cause economic growth or decline: Politicians may contribute to expanding growth through deregulation or limit through regulation. Hoover's policies were aimed at government regulation and preempted FDR's New Deal--he was a great president.
LOL democrats... ... ( 4 months ago by partyboy99)
LOL democrats... Always Blame Repblicnas. Lets look in to History. TR brought the country to a reform with Business, Dem: Woodrow Wilson brought us in to WW1, Hoover, didn't do anything to solve much but he didnt bring the depression. FDR didnt get us out of the depression, World War II did. Eisenhower started the economical rise, LOL Democrat Johnson kept us in Vietnam bringing the dept high. Nixon, a repub tuke us out of Vietnam and made stagflation to help economy. Keep looking more deep.
I don't know why ... ( 4 months ago by wmichswingers)
I don't know why people keep voting Republican-- every time they get in they screw up the country... Obama 08!!
Perspective please. ... ( 3 months ago by smmckay)
Perspective please. Hoover did not cause the Depression and FDR did not end it. But FDR gave America hope and created a safety net that allowed us to survive hardtimes without Revolution. With 20/20 hindsight (and using economic theories and data unavailable to FDR), we can see errors in New Deal policies. But FDR was willing to try things and, if that did not work, he would try something else. With his faults, he was the greatest President of the 20th Century.

Thank you FDR.Your New Deal increased unemployment and you got the US invovled in another stupid war.

What similarity does the party of FDR and
Truman have to the utter trash running the Dems today? The vote whores of today that splinter the country into every special interest group they can..and then selling he country piecemeal to them? The party that incapable of any decisive action, that has deliberately tried to destroy the country via appeasement and surrender. You dont even know what American outside of your Far Left ideology
No, Nixon did not ... ( 1 month ago by captainxox)
No, Nixon did not take us out of vietnam, he resigned his office while we were at war. Teddy Roosevelt did bring us into the spanish american war. Woodrow Wilsons decision to bring the US into WWI was reactionary (motivated by the sinking of the Lusitaina, the wreckage of which is curoiusly shattered outward as if the ship were transporting munitions, hmmm.) FDR's new deal was an intial catlyst for alleviating the effects of the great depression. Gee Partyboy, should I keep looking? STFU!
What is this mad ... ( 1 month ago by captainxox)
What is this mad talk of appeasment and surrender? Were Iraqi armies massing outside of Washington, D.C? Was Afghanistan sending its mighty navies to blockade our ports? You're just the kind of fool that actually believes a Fox News commentator when they say its safer on the streets of baghdad than it is in Detroit. Because Iraqi dead don't count do they? I mean this war is for them, shouldn't they count? Oh, sorry, factual information is now considered leftist propaganda. Forget it. All is well

Yawn. The cut-n-paste gibberish of the ignorant. Hey..here is really fantastic and far fetched story for you. This will sound unbelievable..I know. Now imagine that a group of teenagers and 20 somethings attack America and cause 70 billion in damage in one hour. Far fetched huh? Really stretching it huh? Anyone that believes that is brainwashed..yes sir.
Moron.
Just imagine... ... ( 1 month ago by captainxox)
Just imagine... okay I imagined it. Did it happen? Or was I just supposed to imagine it? How about citing the actual event you are referring to, you really smart guy. Not that you actually refuted any of my points or anything, but just dismissed them in typical right wing fashion. Crude insults in lieu of facts. But I suppose I do have to share my country with you. God bless America.
