gotta wonder what these people think a recession or depression actually is.

For the fat cats, a depression is when the dividend chacks get a bit smaller for a few months and they have to lay off their undocumented gardener.

First off, nobody thinks this. They just think your idiotic ideas of using government as a weapon to forcibly redistribute ends in corruption and failure.

Second, tell me more about how bad the standard of living is in the US. Despite your silly lefty myths, people don't "die in the streets" as a common thing.

People in poverty in the US live like kings compared to the third world. Go to the ghetto - I've lived there - and you'll see new cars, flat screen TVs, HVAC, at least one new generation gaming console, and many other modern luxuries.

You career-victims want to whine about FYGM when your only viewpoint is FYIDGM. If you want to see real suffering, head over to the third world - you're the 1%.

Is it even possible to buy a TV that isn't a flat screen these days?
HVAC is pretty much a standard construction feature these days, you can hardly rent an apartment without it.
Any kid with a part time job at McD's can afford a XBOX.

These are hardly luxury items.

And people may not be dying in the streete, but I have at least three friends who would be dead today were it not for Obamacare.

So don't hand me that bullshit about how good the poor have it in this country. Poor is poor by the standards of the country you live in not some third world crap hole.

Get out of the city and take a good look at the way some people live out in the sticks where there are NO jobs! There is a vast difference between urban ans rural poor.

The real mystery is why so many of the poor in the South keep voting the very politicians who are keeping them that way.

But I suppose, if you stand up waving a flag (American or Confederate) and holding a Bible and keep telling folks how that baby killing Black man in the White House is letting all those Mexicans come in here to take your jobs and that he's comming after your guns... Well...

Yep. It's white southern voters. It has nothing to do with Bill Clinton signing NAFTA or Obama signing TPP. It has nothing to do with the fact that Hillary Clinton's #1 supporter is Citigroup. And it definitely couldn't be true that the republicans and the democrats are using identity politics to create differential coalitions to continue getting elected, while they, in reality, are following the same script given to them by the corporations and banks that fund our elections.

Since apparently you guys missed it, Hillary's contributors:

Video gaming which is purely entertainment is the very definition of a luxury

[Itap]

Its relative. In North America, it's not.

In 2015, your friend might live in a trailer, take the bus, live off EBT, free lunch at school, but they still have an xbox at home.

Typical of people who don't know how to manage their money. It's still a luxury. People used to make due with a lot less and a gaming console that runs an entire weeks worth of welfare if not more is a stupid purchase for a struggling family.

But then again the shame that uses to be associated with taking handouts is mostly gone and we're slowly converting to a society of parasites with their hands out

That's very true. Unfortunately, those parasites are called Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, and they control the government. Their puppet, Hillary Clinton, will win the next election, and our national budgets will continue to line their coffers.
