Reagan Warned Us About The Direction Of The Democratic Party

[Hafar1014]

In his own way Reagan was the first "deep state" (a fiction) hysteric. His simplistic demonization of government, designed to give the public something to blame for their plight (an age old Repub ploy), tried to make government something it isn't, an abstraction. We are the government, the county clerks and school board members and state representatives and senators. If those people are failing us, as trump is, we are responsible for replacing them. Pretending government is an amorphous entity beyond our control is the populist nonsense of charlatans and hucksters playing to the weak minded..............like Ron.

Reagan fixed the Carter disaster much like Trump is fixing the Biden disaster

Reagan had some bipartisan support unlike Trump.

Reagan had some bipartisan support unlike Trump.

Democrats back then were a lot different than today's borg-like democraps. They had some morals and cared somewhat about the people.

Reagan predicted the Murder Cult's rise.

So, the usual. Conservatives blaming liberals for the consistent catastrophic failure of conservative economic policy.

The economy crashes under conservatives, booms under liberals. Democrats always have to clean up the reeking mess of an economy that conservatives leave behind.

Clinton had to clean up after the Bush I recession.

Obama had to clean up the Bush II recession.

Biden had to clean up the Trump recession.

The next Democratic president will have to clean up the Trump depression.

Conservatives can't defend their unblemished record of perfect failure, so their only option is to deflect from it. That's what this thread attempted to do.

Debt grew under clinton. Clinton, o, biden made things worse and grew the debt and war.

Hahahaha poor Ronnie Ray Gun. That was long before his 1980 run for President. After all that railing against the Feds, didn't he triple the Deficit? Illegally arm the Contra's and allow them to flood America with so much cocaine that the cartels had do invent Crack Cocaine (formerly know as Free Base) and sell it on every street corner....

Carter's fix for the Nixon/Ford disaster of an economy took until Raygun was in office. Paul Volker was the man who forced the hard choices.

Carter caused stagflation and the worst S&L bank failure in history. Reagan reversed that with TEFRA tax cuts and revenue sharing. We had 10 years of GDP growth after Reagan rebuilt the military and brough down the USSR. Carter also created the Iran problem. Unitl Biden Carter was the worst president in history

George Washington warned us of the dangers of political parties back in 1796. GOD damned shame we didn't listen.
