  • Director Adam McKay advertised one of his first comedy shows by promising to kill himself, and it's all been downhill from there.

    laws such as the Glass Steagall Act, perhaps? vote bernie in the primaries, a man clean of big bank funds.

    • @god8063
      @god8063 Před 8 lety

      +Sterowent Glass-Steagall wouldn't have prevented the collapse of those failed investment banks, which is what caused most of the crisis. They would've still been able to get into derivatives under Steagall. Second, it still wouldn't have prevented commercial banks from giving out sub-primes, which is the underlying issue of their failure. So, so far, if GS was in place, 99% of the crisis would've still occurred. All it would've done would've been to prevent Citigroup from getting into cdo's. Steagall wouldn't have prevented collapse. It doesn't work for the modern era. It is an outdated depression era tactic. Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren have both admitted that Glass-Steagall wouldn't have done anything to prevent the 2008 collapse. If it were reinstated, all it would do is lower the share price of the big banks and prevent them from making money by essentially forcing them to sit on billions of dollars and only using it when Bob's Auto-repair needs a loan. It would directly impact the middle class. It would also make a crash worse by preventing mergers and acquisitions that would be able to save a failing entity. If an IB goes under and people lose their money, GS would prevent that IB from being saved via a buyout. It's a dumb idea that has been debunked by everyone from Forbes to the NYT. People who want it are people who don't properly understand economics and think anything that was repealed, once reinstated will save them. Bernie's economic policies will weaken the economy and the dollar. It would actually be better to vote for a moderate over Sanders.

    • @sterowentUS
      @sterowentUS Před 8 lety

      explain the measures needed to prevent the next crash then. from my understanding the sizes of the banks would have been prevented through glass-steagall, the risky loans that composed most of the crisis was funded by the then too big banks which would have been outlawed through glass-steagall, and the promises that repealing it would lead to cheaper banking administrative costs and function were misleading. right now, we are in the same situation as 2008, perhaps worse because the sizes of the bailed out banks are even larger than before. no, it has nothing to do with political alignment. this is a threat to our economy no matter which side of the aisle you are on, and bernie is the man to deal with it.

    • @god8063
      @god8063 Před 8 lety

      +Sterowent Your understanding is inaccurate. Fixing the 30:1 and also making sure the government doesn't try to force industry to cater to anyone are two ways to prevent a crash among other ways. But the real point here is that GS specifically, is an act that wouldn't have done anything and if enacted, would be harmful in the current climate. GS itself would not only be inadequate in preventing a crash, it would also make a crash worse by preventing mergers and acquisitions that would be able to save a failing entity. If an IB goes under and people lose their money, GS would prevent that IB from being saved via an m&a. "the sizes of the banks would have been prevented through glass-steagall" Size is not what caused the collapsed. Size + debt is what caused it. Banks have to grow with the economy, so a bank getting bigger and bigger is not a bad thing. It is only bad when something big, also has a big debt attached to it. That is what caused the collapse. The type of debt that was accumulated by both the commercial and investment banks that caused the collapse, is again, the type of debt that GS would've done nothing to prevent. "the risky loans that composed most of the crisis was funded by the then too big banks which would have been outlawed through glass-steagall," GS wouldn't have outlawed sub-primes. GS wouldn't have prevented them from acquiring lenders that were issuing the sub-primes which what took the majority of them under. GS would've done nothing to stop the actual crisis. And stoping another crash does have to do with a political alignment. The politician and his admin that you choose, if elected, will create or enforce policy that steers the economy. Bernie's economic policies are not only radical, they weaken the overall economy, raise taxes and increase spending. Who he is as a person, doesn't matter. It's what he plans to do. And what he plans is bad for the dollar and wildly unrealistic.

    • @sterowentUS
      @sterowentUS Před 8 lety +1

      let me say i do not entirely understand economics, so much of these definitions and abbreviations i can not in good faith comment on. that said, i do know the many economists who have agreed with bernie's economic proposals, 170 of them in fact. a quote from usuncut's article on this:
      "Among the 170 economists and professors backing Sanders’ plan are former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, professor James K. Galbraith of the University of Texas, and John Miller of Wheaton College. Other experts listed on the sign-on letter teach at top universities like Harvard, Cornell, and Cambridge (UK). Also included is a former member of U.S. Congress, a former researcher for the Federal Reserve Board, and even a former associate at Goldman Sachs, as well as numerous financial advisors and wealth management experts."
      i appreciate your effort in trying to educate me, but i'm afraid the credentials of these men and women come first in my decision on who to step forward with. i thank you for your time.
