The downward slide started with Reagan.... and the GOP is trying to keep it going downhill. Not a big surprise to many.
Gee that's weird?
I could have sworn that Reagan pulled the US out of a recession as did GW Bush.
But you want us to believe all Republicans WANT the economy to fail?
Not that that makes ANY sense whatsoever since every politician wants to get reelected first and foremost and destroying an economy normally doesn't garner much support.
I believe you'll say pretty much anything to avoid admitting that Obama has been the worst president in our history on the economy.
it is not INCOME which counts, it is WEALTH which counts - and distribution in that area has stayed the same for the last 40 years. And the best it was during NIXON years

that is a leftard talking point for the last quarter
Why is it wrong to hate GOP policies that benefit the rich at everyone else's expense?
I didn't know Obama, Reid, Pelosi, etc were in the GOP.
If you want to challenge the fact and claim their policies haven't helped enrich the rich further, just state it isn't true, and I'll be more than happy to point out how low information you are.

Because it doesnt, you just dont understand basic economics, and want to believe that somehow, if you create programs that perpetuate poverty, that those on the top will suffer..
its stupidity, but here ya are..
btw, Buffets wealth is up something like $20 BILLION since Obama was sworn into office.. yeah, you go Winter.. you get that Warren Buffet, you're making great progress at hurting him by supporting those policies you support.
So if someone doesn't make enough money they should blame the government???
Did you hear that at a Communist meeting???
In a way yes. The govt is supposed to retain value in a dollar. This play money we have just gets worth less and less. I have no idea what silver is today and don't have time to get it figured out. But the last time i did a buck was worth about 2 cents.
Gasoline is a great deal at it's current rate under 25 cents silver per gallon.
Now don't yell at me unless you can tell me exactly what a dollar is worth.

Like I saidk stupidity..
you expect too much from the leftard mind - to actually know who is benefitting the most from the Obama policies
that is not in the talking points they are parroting
