And let's hope the people are waking up to see the oppression of the federal government and what a drain on the economy and an imposition on the people it has been. With Obamacare failing as miserably as it has, workforce participation down and the rich getting richer while thugs like Hillary thumb their nose at the people, it is a wonder why this hasn't happened sooner.
I only hope that we can work together to get the Regressives out of office but it helps to have fools like Bernie Sander, Hillary and Biden in the spotlight to show the ineptness of the left. And let's hope that we have no RINOs in office so we can affect some positive change by shrinking government, corruption and spending!!
The labor participation rate is going to return to the pre-baby boomer level of roughly 58-60%, the influence of the boomers on every aspect of the economy and society is still being felt. As the boomers kids are getting beyond the age to have children, we are seeing the birth rate in the US drop below 2, meaning the US population is goig to start to age and decline, just like in Europe and Japan.

Contrary to Republican mythology, Americans fare better - much, much better - under Democratic administrations:
As of Friday, a $10,000 investment in the S.& P. stock market index would have grown to $11,733 if invested under Republican presidents only, although that would be $51,211 if we exclude Herbert Hoover's presidency during the Great Depression. Invested under Democratic presidents only, $10,000 would have grown to $300,671 at a compound rate of 8.9 percent over nearly 40 years.
Ummm, my citation! I lived during the Jimmy Carter years, and under Obama and they both have sucked big time. I saw the nation prosper under Reagan and again when Newt made the contract with America. I have seen big government fail us time and time again.
Now, do you have anything to disprove that? Didn't think so.
Newt was president? Talk about your intellectual dishonesty! The sad part is, I think you actually believe what you're spewing.

If you have to lie to make your point... You probably don't have a point.
Lol. I am embarrassed for you. I really am.
Be embarrassed for yourself for misrepresenting what I posted. Where did I say that Newt was President? Oh yeah....I DIDN"T!!
The bottom line is that Clinton actually had the balls to reach across the aisle and work with the better half. Obama hasn't done that and the country has paid.
Now when you have something worthwhile to bring to this thread, please do. Until then, stop making falsehoods on what others are saying and read some history!

No, I can't disprove your experience, any more than you can disprove mine - which is that I've done pretty well under all administrations, D or R.
Now I think that US economic policies can have an affect on which americans do well and how well they do, but it's nothing like the simple relationship you are contending.
They don't think it's "rising." They don't know what you're talking about.
Exactly.

The bigger question is what would the conservative establishment do if the extremist wing rises?
But, in any event, you seem to be under the impression that this country is becoming more conservative when it is actually becoming more liberal. So what are you going to do?
And there you go, proving nononsenseguys point. GOP majority in the House, Senate, most governors offices (nearly 2:1), most state House and Senates and they still think the country is becoming more liberal. Just shows you how out of touch some people are and how little they really understand about conservatives. Guess what, MSNBC and Huffington aren't reliable sources.

This post is so partisan, it hurts.
Also, did you suffer amnesia during the Bush years? Why no mention of them?
Americans have always been fiscally conservative and socially moderate, the moderates are just shifting to being socially liberal. No Congress in the last 30 years has been fiscally conservative, and we havent had a fiscal conservative in the White House since Carter.
No, I believe Europe will rise again. How - that I do not know.
I am sure you are familiar with the Weimar Republic from history. It was a beaten-down, depressed, disarmed country which also happened to live through one of the worst economical crises in human history. What nobody could foresee, is that in less than two decades the Weimar Republic turned into the powerful and warlike Third Reich, and it took concerted efforts of the three world's superpowers to stop it. I am not advocating that, of course. I am only saying you can never know what the future brings. And I believe in the spirit of White Europe. It has been through a lot before, it can handle this one too.
To be fair: neither England nor Russia could've taken down Hitler BY THEMSELVES. IMHO the US COULD'VE but, IF Hitler watched his manners, I doubt we would've gone after his nasty butt. Declaring war on the US was a HUGE mistake by that boy.
