Talk:Vivek Ramaswamy

Re: "Private equity donors". Private equity is a help to many small businesses and homeowners. Unlike the banksters, private equity lenders did not take TARP money

Re: "Ramaswamy's rhetoric is refreshingly candid, in contrast with the anti-Trump candidates who pander to globalists and private equity donors."

Nonbank lenders/private equity lenders: "Using data on secured bank loans, they show that bank loan originations fell by nearly one-third between 2007 and 2010. After reaching the trough in 2010, bank lending slowly recovered from 2010 to 2016 but remained sluggish. At the same time, nonbank lenders expanded lending by 70 percent, significantly more than banks. By the end of 2016, nonbank lenders had a market share of nearly 60 percent in small business lending."[1]

Nonbank mortgage lenders: "Nonbank mortgage lenders in the U.S. issued 68.1% of all mortgages originated in 2020, up from 58.9% in 2019, according to industry research firm Inside Mortgage Finance. That is their highest market share on record and their biggest yearly gain since 2014."[2]

And unlike the banksters, private equity lenders/investors did not take TARP money. Conservative (talk) 17:41, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

Gatewaypundit: "Ramaswamy had been discussing generational challenges when he declared, “The truth of the matter is, you know, no matter what happens, whichever direction we go, people of my generation have already made it. We’re gonna be fine. It’s going to be your generation.” The remark triggered overwhelming booing that was impossible to ignore.

Maybe the younger generation of conservatives and libertarians should read the liberal claptrap at Essay: The United States will be the leading power in the world for the foreseeable future so they can used to having their problems and concerns ignored.
