Exactly. What kind of country did we become anyhow? A country where people get to keep what they earn instead of giving it to others who didn't earn it.

It's true, Carter's GDP growth was so awesome that Reagan won 44 states.

Hold on, Toddster! You got tripped up on your own rhetoric. You said Reagan had "huge growth", yet Reagan's annualized Real GDP growth rate was only 0.2% more than Carter's. So by your own rhetoric, Carter had huge growth. Your words and your rhetoric, pal. Now you try walking them back.

Reagan won 44 states because he cut a deal with Iran; in exchange for selling them weapons they would free the hostages should he win the election. So I'd like to know why it was A-OK for you guys to talk with Iran in secret to broker an arms-for-hostages deal, yet it wasn't OK to talk with Iran in public to remove their capacity to build nukes? Actually, I already know why...you're a hypocrite and intellectual lightweight.

Just think about how much higher Reagan's GDP growth would have been without that recession.

The recession didn't start until 10 months into Reagan's term, right after he passed his tax cut. You know, the one you claim saved the economy when it actually harmed it by precipitating a 13-month recession.

You said Reagan had "huge growth",

It's true.

yet Reagan's annualized Real GDP growth rate was only 0.2% more than Carter's.

Carter was awesome!!
That's why he won 49 states in his re-election bid in 1980.

Reagan won 44 states because he cut a deal with Iran;

Carter was awesome! That's why Iran didn't capture our embassy and why Russia didn't invade Afghanistan.

The recession didn't start until 10 months into Reagan's term, right after he passed his tax cut.

I know, something had to be done to kill Carter's double digit inflation.

You know, the one you claim saved the economy when it actually harmed it by precipitating a 13-month recession

Yeah, massive tax cuts caused a recession. DERP!!

Yeah I still think we should be following Clinton policy. Balanced budget and better economic numbers. Now that would be great.

Great idea.
What bubble should we inflate?

Its not immature. That was terrible terminology.

Nope. It's immature. That's your position. One that Grover Norquist had at 14. You're basically in a state of arrested development. That's not something I can help. You gotta fix that deficiency all on your own. You up to it? Can you put in the minimal effort required? I'm not so sure...

We shouldnt have an income tax. If our fed gov wasnt so fucking bloated, we wouldnt need it.

This is the immaturity I'm talking about. We have a nation of 320,000,000 people and an economy that is about $20T in size. We need a large, strong bureaucracy to manage that.

Conservatives live in a fantasyland where people should act, instead of reality where people really act.

I beg to differ. My 8 year old son owes tens of thousands of dollars doing it your way. I believe it's time for a change.

You mean tax breaks for the rich and shit wages for the workers.

Tax breaks for the rich are happening now. Ever hear of people bitching about taxes?

Ever hear of people bitching about shit wages?
