Mkay. Despite the fact that it's been proven not to work on multiple occaisions? Alright mate.
"#Bush

Good joke. You mean the president who literally screwed over our economy and got us into an overlong 10 year war not only in Iraq but in Afghanistan? A country that literally had no part in 9/11?
"#IraqWar
- justified"
Yes and no. The whole "WMD" ploy was used to keep us in and it was an utter lie created by Bush. There were no WMDs in Iraq.
"#MinimumWageNotaLivingWage
-companies would have to layoff employees."
Actually, they wouldn't. If you look at how much they profit now they could easily stomach a 5 dollar raise an hour in employee profits AND even recoup their losses there by raising their prices by mere pennies on the dollar. This too had been proven countless times.

Also, Sadam had no part in 9/11 either. Bush just didn't like him and used 9/11 as a ploy to invade. Where was Osama found again? |

@Romuluz
You have to realize that the US did not have any clue. Also, with key things especially like Oil and Israel. |
|
romuluzJoin Date: 2010-04-12 Post Count: 18124 |
Did not have any clue of what? There are even records of Bush asking advisors if 9/11 was enough to justify the invasion of Iraq. If that's not obvious that's not enough to prove that he had previous intentions to invade iraq pre 9/11 than I do not know what does.
Also what does Israel have to do with the Iraq war? |

@sylas:
Reagan and Bush Sr. were pretty good presidents. George H.W. Bush had a Liberal Congress so Bush couldn't do anything to fix things up.
On the other hand, the previous liberals are full of controversy and idiotic policies. Bill did Monica, Carter was just awful, and Obama can't negotiate to save himself. Also, Obama has seriously inflated the Dollar and the American debt. High taxes also don't help. Finally, Obamacare is a disaster for all business owners small or big. |

Trickle Down Economics worked during its time. Lowering income taxes did expand government revenue - the question is if lowering it below the rate of 33% would increase or decrease revenue. In fact we had bits of it pre Reagen (JFK/LBJ started tax decreases)
Deregulation also worked for the most part - Ever since Carter deregulated transportation and Savings and Loans. Even though we had the S&L crisis it was very much due to the fact that it was deregulated improperly (short term deposits funding home mortgages, eventually the short term interest rates spiked versa long term interest rates forcing S&Ls to lose profit - then poor re-regulation occured, etc things got ugly and messy) Reagens deregulation was alright as well for the most part - although his administration botched the regulations in 89 and made it worse.
Trickle Down Economics has its limits, Bush economics is like a clone copy of Clinton economics except with a supply side lean - however its still New Democrat Third Way BS

See we could argue all day about how this worked back then. How it proved effective back then. But you see it's clear that it's not working now, which is what matters. Just because something was effective back in the '80s, does not mean that we keep it now no matter how costly it is on our current economic system, and it's clear to see; our middle class is next to non-existent, our lower/poverty class is growing at an extreme rate, even the ones who work 40 hours a week, and even some skilled workers are struggling to even afford low income homes. It's obvious the current system is not working as it was originally promised and how it originally opperated; giving money to the rich in hopes it funnels down to the poor. The numbers just don't add up to it working now, which is what matters. |

oh god he's started trump tactics
(also just want to throw out there, because the Reagan administration refused to classify AIDS as an epidemic in order to get some sort of search for treatment started; or even allow people to have a place in a hospital, some 30,000 people died due to an 'unknown cause' and weren't lawfully allowed to bury them which forced some families to just throw the bodies out)
there's downsides to every president whether it be political or moral |

romuluzJoin Date: 2010-04-12 Post Count: 18124 |
No, you see, him enacting trump tactics is good. It means he's probably an uneducated 15-16 year old who hasn't even taken an economics class and can't vote anyways so we're good. |

Conservatism is generally *OK* when it comes to economics but the view on social issues is horrendous, and from what I've seen in recent news about America, your conservative party candidates make up more things to make themselves sound special than actually have physical evidence to provide. Lying and conning is not the way to run a country, and unfortunately conservatism is bordering that line. |
