You ask that same stupid question over and over. I was twenty-four when Reagan was elected,
studying macroeconomics and public finance in graduate school.
>>remember 17.5% interest rates and a misery index over 20.
Yes, and I remember that Reagan gave Volker the green light to jack interest rates back up when inflation was already under control. And I remember that his economic policies created a terrible recession July 1981 – Nov 1982 that you try to blame on Carter.
>>I know how the 81-82 recession affected ALL Americans and how this one didn't but that fact escapes you.
Sure, you stick to that line. See where it gets you politically. "Great Recession?
What Great Recession?"
>>Obama … the results and future are a failure
The results are clear: 11.5 million full-time, private sector jobs added, with part-time employment down and public-sector employment flat. Deficit as a percentage of GDP down 75%. Fifteen million more Americans with health insurance. Inflation at a fifty-year low. No unnecessary, expensive, and destructive foreign misadventures.
>>in the liberal world is it someone else's responsibility to bail you out when you make a bad one
In the
real world, it's up to middle- and working-class Americans to bail the country out when failed right-wing policies put the country in the ****ter.
>>I am so sorry you don't get it and never will.
I'm very happy that I'll never be blind and foolish enough to buy into reactionary rhetoric.
>>I will take conservative principles over anything you have to offer.
You don't support conservative policies; you support reactionary bull****.
>>one of these days the light bulb will go off and you are going to ask yourself "why was I so foolish and how could I be so wrong?" I assure you it will happen
I'm confident that will never happen to you. Yer head's in the wrong place.
>>I outgrew it and learned to think with my brain
I'd say yer thoughts are associated with another organ.
>>Never did I do better than I did under Reagan
Who gives a flying eff how you did?
>>there is a reason he won 49 states in 1984.
Just as there is a reason BHO served two terms and the Democrats will continue to hold onto the WH. The difference is that we'll do it while benefiting the country, not undermining it by piling up huge debts and fostering massive income and wealth disparity.
>>People actually felt the difference in their pocketbook and in the economy in general.
Germans did well in much of the 1930s.
>>No matter how many times you claim the opposite the results tell a different story
You say they do, but the facts aren't there to support it.
>>the incredible tribute to him when he died.
The Soviets loved Stalin when
he died.
>>All I see from people like you is jealousy, jealousy of what someone else has, what someone else doesn't pay in FIT, how much someone else earns. What a negative lifestyle to have.
You make a complete fool of yerself by repeating this garbage over and over. I don't experience jealousy or envy. You can't find a single thing to back that up. It's a self-serving fantasy you use to cover for yer ignorance and foolishness.
>>I can see why Reaganomics is tough on people like you.
I did fine. Many others have suffered from SSE policies.
>>you really are a waste of time
I agree in the sense that you'll never get anywhere debating me. You don't have anything useful to say.
No. Why should I? Yer the one who claims to know all about this stuff. Why don't you just explain it?
