First, we must overcome something the present administration has cooked up: a new and altogether indigestible economic stew, one part inflation, one part high unemployment, one part recession, one part runaway taxes, one party deficit spending and seasoned by an energy crisis. It's an economic stew that has turned the national stomach.
AND Reagan put us on the road to where we are today economically though union busting and "globalization". I think he was well-intentioned but naive - and nothing more than a corporate interest puppet.
Stupid is as stupid does... you should try actually becoming informed. Folks like you were left on the ash-heap of history with incompeteant solutiuons like Marxism.
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?
My vote is it's the unfortunate soul who follows Obama's colossal failure of a stint in the WH.
Marc Faber, one of Bush's more vocal critics... "Obama makes Bush look like a genius," and "Obama's economic policy initiatives across the board have been a complete failure."
Liberals always think they can get something for nothing without unintended consequences.
Said the conservative who voted twice for a man who cut taxes and launched two wars and drove the deficit to record numbers.
The conservative side is not exempt from spending without appropriate taxes, otherwise during the first 6 years of Bush there would have been no deficit.
and interest rates were out of sight. The only positve thing in the early 80s, with the inflation rate and interest rates CDs for instance were paying 10% and more. Today we have a crappy economy, home interst rates are only about 5% but CC interest rates are as high as 25% and our CDs or money markets are paying almost nothing. We are getting it from all sides.
No one was talking about a Second Great Depression when Reagan took office. The comparison is weak.
Consider that the Washington Times is a right-wing newspaper. I guess they'd like to rewrite history.
yep right wing paper, you are right, it is sorta like all those that want us to believe what is written in the Huffington Post or the NY Times. Well the Huffington Post is worse than anything I think..
