re: Are these quotes from MAGA, Bernie Sanders, Obama, or AOC?

Your concept?
From this PBS Article

Instead of the economic advancement that industrialisation once promised to bring, the exporting nations are engaging in a rapid “race to the bottom”, observes Marc Anner from the Global Labour University.
quote:
A single country is powerless in the face of the behemoth that is world trade. Only external pressure, such as a US and EU ban on products manufactured under exploitative conditions, will make a difference. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiated under Barack Obama was a step in the right direction, with its minimum wage and health and safety requirements, as well as calls to end child and forced labour.

Only because of government intervention propping it up and inflating our debt to the tune it trillions
That inflation came with interest rates under 3%.

That was another intentional part of the policy to inflate housing values

Trump has never been a conservative. As a conservative, I’ve never thought of him as such. He is a moderate slightly right of center populist. This is why it’s funny people painting him like a far right dictator, lol. I do like Trump especially considering the alternative was an idiot. Kamala is literally stupid.

No idea, but the OP is a fig

I understand, but OP includes no Trump quotes, only MAGA ones.
The rabid Trump fans who literally promote AOC-Obama leftism have been fascinating to watch

Over 12 years?
QE, artificially low interest rates, preventing foreclosures, etc. were all policies implemented specifically to inflate housing prices. It's a government-created bubble in response to a popped bubble (in 2008).

To protect the "wealth" you were referencing.
TARP was one thing, and was necessary (and was repaid) to stop a global financial meltdown.
This was done to avoid politicians having to oversee a recession, creating another bubble in the process. No President wanted to oversee "Americans losing their primary vehicle of wealth accumulation" so they kept the bubble inflating as they kicked the can.
The insane printing by Trump and Biden in response to Covid created so much inflation it became untenable and they had to stop the post-2008 inflationary policies.

That's not really relevant to the discussion of how the "wealth" created was just federal debt creation, and why housing shouldn't be looked at a path to create that wealth today.

Listen I understand your stance on government or political persuasion being out of economics. I would love that also. The problem is the elephant in the room that created our massive debt. Unfortunately politicians (trump, republicans, democrats, libertarians, etc) created it and are going to have to fix it. This is something that, at this point, cannot be reconciled by natural or free trade. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant, something drastic most be done. We needed major change and the public voted for it. Whether you are pro or anti means zilch. You can give opinions just like I can.

It's not just my stance, or, at least, used to be just not my stance. That was the DOMINANT view on here. Anti-socialism and anti-leftism.

More leftism. Easy for me to oppose.

Trade has little to do with public debt, other than creating a GDP that can thwart it somewhat. Hurting GDP by fricking with trade is going to make dealing with public debt much harder.
