And that, friends, was and is the problem with Reaganomics and all similar approaches from any party.

Borrowing and spending is a short term strategy. But it has long term consequences.

You're confused about my post.

Quadrupling the deficit was Reagan's contribution to the economy. That kind of spending will, yes, bring down unemployment for a time....as Bush had to find out, only a time.

Your history is fuzzy.

Reagan faced three mixed Congresses.

Your history is fuzzy.

Reagan faced three mixed Congresses.

Reagan never had a House (ie budget setting) majority, didnt have a GOP Senate for his last 2 years, and never had more than a narrow 54-46 majority in the Senate.

Quit scratching.

Their fuzzy logic dictates that the government should just hire everybody and pay us all a thousands dollars an hour. That would solve every economic problem weve ever had to deal with... 

Dont try to understand them. Just shake your head, and walk away.

Over the last few days, the brilliant Jon Voight has been posting some of the most amazing statuses I’ve ever seen on Facebook. Following are the questions he’s asked, and I think I know what all of our answers will be.

“If any other of our presidents
had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador
when it was "The 5th of May" (Cinco de Mayo),
and then continue to flub it when he tried again,
wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

If any other of our presidents
joined the country of Mexico and sued a
State in the United States to force that State
to continue to allow Illegal Immigration,
would you question his patriotism
and wonder who's side he was on?

If any other of our presidents
had put 87,000 workers out of work
by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on
offshore oil drilling on companies that have
one of the best safety records of any industry
...because one foreign company had an accident,
would you have agreed?

If any other of our presidents
had been the first President to need a
teleprompter installed to be able to get through
a press conference, would you have laughed and said
this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is
really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If any other of our presidents
had spent hundreds of thousands of Dollars
to take his First Lady to a play in NYC,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had given the Queen of England an
IPod containing videos of his speeches,
would you have thought it to be a
proud moment for America ?

If any other of our presidents
had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had visited Austria and made reference
to the nonexistent "Austrian language,"
would you have brushed it off
as a minor slip?

If any other of our presidents
would have flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics
would benefit him walking out his front door in his
home town, would you not have thought he was
a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk?

If any other of our presidents
had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,
would you have concluded he's a Hypocrite?

So, tell me again,
what is it about Obama that
makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can't think of anything?
Then you'd better start worrying.
He's done all these things in 28 months --
and you have less than 19 months
to come up with an answer.

"All it takes for evil to triumph
is for good men to do nothing."
