justabubba;1058686824]i laugh at anyone who posts a 290% increase in spending being better than a 22% increase
must be your recollection of reaganomics speaking
Look dealing with you is an example of Glenn Beck's book,
Arguing with Idiots. Please stop making a fool out of yourself and understand the difference between percentage change and actual dollars. What would a 290% increase in the current debt be?
i remember those on your side INSISTING that the fundamentals of the economy are sound
also recall that the republicans kept telling us that there was no "official" recession based on the data
all the while, unregulated banking was boiling the economy, and the republican solution was to bail out the very monied interests which caused the problem. your folks tranferred the taxes of the wage earner to replace the lost wealth of the rich
only fools and simpletons haven't figured that one out yet
And I remember Barney Franks claiming that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae being sound and a good investment long term.
I keep remembering when the recession began, December 2007 and who was in charge of the Congress thus the purse strings.
I remember during the Bush years when the stock market went over 14000 and the claims we were in a recession.
You have a selective memory that actually ignores results and what generated those results.
and i see you have neglected to offer up an accurate prediction of the president's policies in his absence. that's right, your side prefers to monday morning quarterback. without no clue about cause and effect, you wait until you see something you hope you won't like and then grouse about it
'lack of substance' is the term that comes to mind when describing such pontificators
Obviously you don't read much, do a search on my posts and you will get accurate predictions on my part as to exactly who this President is and what he would do. I told anyone who would listen who we elected but as usual only rhetoric from Obama is believed in spite of the fact that all that rhetoric is lies.
you mean that economy that was broken by the oil cartel. the one which resulted because of the reagan deal with the iranians to keep our citizens hostage to assure the outcome of the national election. you do recall they were released as soon as he was elected. read up on iran contra and see how your ronnie raygun was behind drug dealing with the money obtained by selling weapons to the iranians
and the misery index was at its apex during the reagan era. if you are going to use a term, it's a good idea to understand what it means
You sure have a hatred for Reagan and the question remains why? What is it that Reagan did that hurt you or your family. My bet is you are like so many here, someone too young to know what was going on in the 80's?
You seem to need that nanny state as well as a President to protect you from yourself and poor choices you make. Only a liberal would ignore the misery index and ignore the affects of Reaganomics. The people spoke in 1984, what were the results of that election?
that is not my perspective. i was on the line trying to help small businesses survive the 20% prime rate during ronnie's reign of stupidity. reagan decided it was then a good time to pull the plug on direct SBA lending to the small business community ... when banks were offering floating rates of 20% prime plus 2.75%. misery index indeed
Ronald Reagan didn't create 20% interest rates or double digit home mortgage rates, Carter economic policy did. Reagan took office in January 1981, implemented the tax cut policy in the fall of 1981 that went into effect 1982. The elections of 1984 show the results of those tax cuts. Ask your parents how the tax cuts affected them?
they only compared in one respect. both could be eloquent on stage. but Obama is looking to fix problems. reagan could not break **** fast enough. i was there. as a liquidator of federal business loans i dealt with the results of his decisions. which is why i find your posts on this matter so clueless
Only in the liberal world would one believe Obama is solving problems. Obama is creating more victims to exploit. Only in the liberal world would someone believe that govt. is the answer to everyone else's problems when the reality is govt. doesn't solve individual problems, it creates them.
It looks to me like you are clueless. Name for me a prediction that Obama has made that is accurate?
