That reply ignores a boatload of truth.

Impeachment has to be rolling off the lips of republicans. Trump is killing them.

Haven't read the thread yet, but there is too much time until the mid terms. As such, very few Republicans would ever agree to start proceedings. They just keep hoping that trump can keep his mouth shut, and get down to signing bills that the Right rams through Congress. There is no political fallout from not challenging trump right now. There's nothing to be lost.

At some point, the republicans in congress will see that Trump is a much bigger deficit to their agenda than he is a benefit ...
They will throw their cards in with Pence and dump the Trump...
That point is happening right about now, during their silence...

I'd love to know if Bernanke and Yellon flooding the econony was cheap dollars in the multiple QE programs, hurting savers and seniors and creating more asset bubbles, was compassionate because they were considered dovish.

If you're going to bring up Bernanke and Yellen, how about Greenspan?

"...The horror story could have easily been prevented had there been intelligent life at the Federal Reserve Board in the years when the housing bubble was growing to ever more dangerous proportions (2002-2006). But the Fed did nothing to curb the bubble. Arguably, it even acted to foster its growth with Greenspan cheering the development of exotic mortgages and completely ignoring its regulatory responsibilities.

Most people who had this incredible infamy attached to their name would have the decency to find a large rock to hide behind; but not Alan Greenspan. He apparently believes that he has not punished us enough. Greenspan has a new book which he is now hawking on radio and television shows everywhere.

The book, which I have not read, is ostensibly Greenspan's wisdom about the economy and economics. But he also tells us that his problem as Fed chair was that he just didn't know about the flood of junk mortgages that was fueling the unprecedented rise in house prices during the bubble years. He has used this ignorance to explain his lack of action – or even concern – about the risks posed by the bubble."

Greenspan was the cause of the housing bubble and well as much more bad stuff he did. However he was not a dove in the fashion Bernanke and Yellen were/are. Greenspan never instituted QE. It was after his time. He's not really relevant to this discussion on what is compassionate.

Yes it's true that Greenspan lost control but he was worshipped by much of the financial media and politicians, as this Economist article from 2005 clearly shows.

I dunno. When your job is heading up the Fed and you overlooked or worse, were ignorant of the long-term effects of a housing bubble...

People lost their houses. Many people did. I would argue compassion was lacking in his shortsightedness in ignoring the human factor of his policies.

I didn't worship him but I liked him. It wasn't until he admitted that he dropped the ball (2008-ish) that I turned on him. It was his job to think about all the ramifications of his policies.

So were Bernanke and Yellen. Do you think QE is compassionate?

Christiefan, one thing I do really appreciate about your post, and I wish Mott was still here, is the acknowledgement that this was a gov't (Fed) driven Great Recession. Yes Wall St did everything it did but the reason they were able to was due to the Fed's low interest rate policy. So I'm not sure if that was your point here or not but I give you credit for acknowledging it. Many/most Democrats won't.

Not impeaching him will guarantee loss of seats for the GOP.
You don't seem to realize how severe the situation is.
What do think the rank and file GOP is scared of?

The RINOS said keeping him on the ticket would lose the house and Senate. We see how that turned out.
