So, some con troll makes the following stupid comment:
Yes, he is spinning faster than a Beanie and Cecil hat!Q of one normal person?
1. Did Obamas unemployment numbers go up or down after he was elected? (they went up, lol) So, if it is Reagans fault, it must be Obamas fault then to, so quit blaming Booooosh-)
So, you do not want to see who was in charge of the economy when the worst recession since the great republican depression of 1929, occurred. Got it. You only want to blame democrats, not look at the records of republicans. Nah. not going to happen, dipshit. You see, as a result of W's policies, we were loosing 500,000 jobs of actual american workers. That you do not give a shit is normal for con trolls. But it was the truth, me boy. Sorry, just the truth.
So i am trying to understand if you are really as stupid as you seem to be. Obama came to the presidency with the ue rate going up like a rocket, loosing 500,000 jobs per month. Did you expect them to stop immediately.?
Do you ever try to see what economists think? Of course not. As a con troll, you just post con drivel. Talking points?
There is an obvious difference between the reagan presidency start, and the obama presidency start.
1. For obama, when he took over, we were loosing over 500,000 jobs per month. Not his creation, but that of Republicans.
When obama took over, he had an unemployment rate of 7.1% that was pretty stable. Had been the same for a couple years.
The obama economy was heading toward a Depression, according to most economists.
The reagan economy was heading neither up nor down, just a somewhat bad ue rate. He created, on his own, a deep recession. Known, oddly enough, as the Reagan recession.
2. Did revenues INCREASE after Reagans tax break? Yes they did!
Sorry, me boy, they did not. They also increased after Kennedy's, GW's, and Bill Clintons capital gains tax cut, so quit spinning!
Uh, sorry you do not understand. Probably because you are stupid. No one said a tax cut causes bad results. Depends entirely on how you fund it. In reagan's case, it caused a recession. That is, cutting programs that were not military, while advancing programs that were. So, he had a really deep recession.
3. What was Reagans GDP numbers, can you even report that accurately? (bet not, since they make Obama look like a duffus; which he is)
My god. Are you that stupid? Type in gdp by year in google. Not my job, dipshit. Do it for yourself. And yes, I am aware. Dipshit. Now, did you have a point?
4. Did personal wealth GROW under Reagan, and how have they faired under Obama! (spin that one, sucker!)
So, you insult me and want me to look up numbers for you that mean absolutely nothing. Nah. Fuck you.
5. How many more or less people entered poverty under Reagan? How about Obama! (he/she is cringing now)
So, you insult me and want me to look up numbers for you that mean absolutely nothing. Nah. Fuck you.
6. Did Reagan give our defense secrets to the USSR, or destroy them giving Clinton the peace dividend? Did Obama destroy, or help radical Islam, meaning we have to ramp up defense spending again?
Wow. More con talking points. Untrue, as usual. But well done, listing well known con talking points. Proving you are a con troll.
7. How much did African American income rise under Reagan? How much has it dumped under Obama! (see, Democrats are bigots)
Since it was the great republican recession of 2008, I would think one would blame republicans for any problems with income. Unless you are a con troll, and brainless. Truth (look it up) is that african american income raised by a whole 2,000 over 8 years under Reagan. A whole $250 per year, under a really good economy for the last 4 years. Which is low, me boy. Certainly nothing to brag about. For Obama, they went down resulting from the great republican recession of 2008, As they did for everyone. They are higher now, but how much they will have gained is no one's knowledge, me boy. Several months to go. But they will not have dumped, me boy. That is just another con talking point. If you could reason, you could actually look it up easily.
But well done, listing well known con talking points. Proving you are a con troll.
8. When Mohamar Khaddaffi got lippy, Reagan bombed the shit out of his palace, and we no longer heard much from Mr Khaddaffi. What did Obama do? Gave billions to the Iranians, and didn't they just harass one of our destroyers, while chanting "death to America," and Alah Acbar, Yabba-dabba-doo!!
Yep. and reagan did a great job of trading guns for
Ok. thanks for proving that:
1. R. Reagan is your hero.
2. You get your talking points from bat shit crazy con web sites, Fox, and nut case viral emails authored by paid con writers. You are a good little con troll. Believing and doing as you were told.
And you think Reagan was bad, Obama was good?
3. You have no sources for your drivel, because you do not want people to know where you get your nonsense.
So, since we are talking international issues, maybe you want to talk about Iran Contra. Most people would have seen a bunch of jail time, had they pulled off what Reagan did.
Let me tell you something you arrogant clown,
sorry, you are not capable. Go get a brain transplant and come back. do you know who REALLY saved the auto industry! It was Ronald Reagan, that is who. And he did it without investing BILLIONS into it, or don't you remember the term, "trigger price mechanism." Why do you think Toyota, Honda, and the rest of the offshore automakers moved plants here! Reagan fixed their clocks by preventing dumping, and just like Trump, threatened tariffs for unfair import practices. They were selling vehicles at a loss to put Ford, GM, and Chrysler under, while keeping their home market closed so they had a captive audience FORCED to buy their products at a premium to finance their dumping here.
Wow. You are indeed a delusional con troll. Some was true, but had NOTHING to do with the 2008 Great Republican Recession, which would have ended the US auto industry. Particularly if we had listened to republicans and cons like you, dipshit. But he saved that industry. Because, you see, anything Reagan had accomplished years earlier did not carry forward. Dipshit.
Was Reagan perfect? Hell no he wasn't,
Ah, you know he was. Because you are a con troll. I don't know a human being that is. But when he was done, the economy had grown tremendously,
Yup. Did a tax cut, created a recession, used stimulus spending, got it well down. Lets see how it ended up:
1. Reagan spent more than all other presidents before him combined.
2. He tripled the national debt. Only president in us history to do so.
3. Reagan greatly increased the size of the US government.
4. Reagan raised taxes 11 times, after his great tax cut cause the Reagan Recession.
S
o, he proved that stimulus works. And accepted that Supply Side economics did not.
Relative to taxes, consider:
1. Reagan was a serial tax raiser. As governor of California, Reagan āsigned into law the largest tax increase in the history of any state up till then.ā Meanwhile, state spending nearly doubled. As president, Reagan āraised taxes in seven of his eight years in office,ā including four times in just two years. As former GOP Senator Alan Simpson, who called Reagan āa dear friend,ā told NPR, āRonald Reagan raised taxes 11 times in his administrationāāāI was there.ā āReagan was never afraid to raise taxes,ā said historian Douglas Brinkley, who edited Reaganās memoir. Reagan the anti-tax zealot is āfalse mythology,ā Brinkley said.
Or, consider what Stockman, the Director of Budgets under Reagan, says:
Reagan Budget Director: āAbsolutelyā Raise Taxes, Just Like Reagan Did
By Alex Seitz-Wald
As Washington considers ways to rein in the deficit, Republicans have obstinately demanded that any tax revenue increases be taken off the table, claiming that raising taxes during a down economy would doom the recovery. As evidence, they often point to the presidency of Ronald Reagan, claiming his massive 1981 tax cuts caused that decadeās economic boom. But this anti-tax position makes it almost impossible to do anything serious about the deficit, sinceāāādespite GOP talking pointsāāāthe country has a revenue problem, not a spending problem. On ABCās This Week today, Reaganās own budget director, David Stockman, exposed the GOP tax cut ātheologyā for the ahistorical sham it is. Asked by Reuterās Chrystia Freeland if the economy could āsustainā a tax increase, Stockman said āabsolutely,ā noting that the economy only recovered under Reagan once he raised taxes in 1982 after ācut[ting] taxes too muchā the year before
Reagan Budget Director: āAbsolutelyā Raise Taxes, Just Like Reagan Did ā ThinkProgress
the Soviet Union was out of business, and every quintile of the population had seen their paychecks grow significantly. If Obama had pulled the same thing off, I would be voting Democrat.
If Reagan had inherited the great republican recession of 2008, and if democrats had refused to help at all, he would have a ruined economy, in my humble but correct opinion. He didn't even come close.
Looks like, even after the great republican recession, he will have created more jobs In fact, his economic record is worse than any President in modern history.
That, me boy, would be a lie, which is why you have no link to prove it. That kind of comment will get you a completely irrelevant reputation. But it does show you are a con troll, and stupid.
Then, what was really cool about Reagan, was Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants. Another reason he was a good president.
So stick it in your ear.
No. That thing came out of your ass. You are just too gross. You are a hack, and have been indoctrinated into nonsense.
That would be your opinion. And you know how much I value your opinion, dipshit. Now, you are indoctrinated. Because you are a con troll, posting untrue con talking points. And you believe them. Rational people have no source of indoctrination. Unlike cons, we hate being lied to. But again, you proved yourself a con troll. If you lived through Reagan, then you know what the country felt after he got his plans going, and what the country now feels under Obama.
Dipshit, I did live through Reagan. Voted for him on his first election. Big mistake. But overall, I think he was a good president. Just had no economic understanding at all. But he did handle illegal imagrents well. And by the way, by 1984, Reagan was about as popular as a fart in church. Sorry you missed it. The ue rate went up to 10.8%, second highest in us history. But by his second term election, the ue rate had dropped back to where it was when he entered office.
No comparison, no matter how you try and spin it!
Relative to his popularity, he is currently about 1.8% higher than Obama. That, me boy, is a statistical tie. And, compared to Presidents dating back to Kennedy, the following were ahead of him in popularity: George H.W Bush, Bill Clinton, Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy (highest at over 70%), and Dwight Eisenhower. So, in this country, he was number six of the last 10. Had 5 above him, 4 below him. About average, me boy. According to Gallup. So, you are wrong again.
