Is that how they teach you nutballs to explain Reagan's failure to control spending?

It would have been a lot easier if Reagan had not been so worried about world peace, winning the cold war, nuclear annihilation, freeing 2 billion people, introducing capitalism to Russia and china, saving 30 million from starvation, etc. and of course if Democrats believed in less welfare rather than more.

See why we are 100% positive a liberal will be slow??

Yes, Ed. I see.
And it makes me sad.
Sad for the United States of America.

Later that year, Rubbermaid cut its workforce by 9 percent and closed nine facilities-the first significant retrenchment in its history.

stupid stupid liberals want to pass a law such that no business can go out of business because another business has better or cheaper products. Its 100% per cent opposed to all human progress from the stone age forward only liberals lack the IQ to know it.

The right wing in American are the greatest apologists for corporate greed in the history of the world. Brain washed puppets. Imagine for a moment if some company's primary supplier of manufactured materials were a communist country - oh yea, that is Walmart. Communists are fat and happy that America's largest corporation supports them and not the American manufacturer (see excerpt below) or worker. Isn't that wonderful. Add to that the puppet singers on the right, and the commies must be very happy. Odd that the same idiots accuse our current administration of socialist leaning while they sing alleluia for Walmart's Chinese junk. The commies love you wingnuts, you're all about that free market thing.

Another example.

"It was here in the 1920s that Rubbermaid engineered its famed rubber dust pans, an eminently practical item that became the first of many products that made Rubbermaid a household name. The company opened plants elsewhere, but the big gray stone building on Akron Road remained its heart and soul. Together with the company's nearby corporate staff, Rubbermaid's 1,600 employees made it the largest employer in the northeastern Ohio town of24,000.

A good corporate citizen, Rubbermaid contributed to the arts, led a drive to refurbish an old movie theater into a cultural center, and sparked a downtown renaissance by opening a retail store on Market Street. It was perennially named one of America's finest companies and more than once snared Fortune magazine's top honors as "America's Most Admired Company." No one who worked the factory floor was getting rich. But it was steady work, and it was not uncommon to find three generations of a family on the payroll. Judy Bowman, who worked there for thirty-two years, recalled, "It was like a big family."

The forces eroding America's industrial base did not hit Rubbermaid in full until the 1990s. One of the most severe tests came in 1995 when the company lost a contract to supply Walmart with dozens of household items. Walmart, famous for squeezing suppliers for the lowest possible price and pressuring them to go offshore to keep costs down, balked at a proposed price hike from Rubbermaid. Rubbermaid had opened plants in Mexico, Korea, and Poland, but the bulk of its manufacturing was still in the United States. When negotiations failed, Walmart severed the relationship and turned to other suppliers, delivering a body blow to the company's U.S. manufacturing.

Later that year, Rubbermaid cut its workforce by 9 percent and closed nine facilities-the first significant retrenchment in its history. Four years later, the company was bought by Newell Corporation, a global consumer products giant known for costcutting and cutthroat management. Newell shifted work from Wooster's rubber division to Mexico and relocated the corporate staff to Atlanta. The Rubbermaid workforce in Wooster was reduced to less than 1,000.

None of the Wooster workers had any illusions about their new bosses, but even so, they were in for a shock. On December 10, 2003, Newell announced that the Wooster plant would be shut down within months. Shock and disbelief swept through the Rubbermaid community. Many employees had never worked anywhere else. All of them wondered what they would do." p41 'The Betrayal of the American Dream' by Barlett / Steele

Barlett and Steele, both lifelong conservatives, condemned the debt-fueled canned heater economy described by GHW Bush as "voodoo economics" and they condemned it in real time in articles and starting in the 1990s in the finest series written to date about the failure of ReagaNUTics.

Reading them validated my contempt for the scum in the ReagaNUT government AS WELL AS for the willful ignorance of the white trash who re elected Reagan in 1984.

All of that validated my white-hot-heat-of-a-thousand-suns loathing of the Bush League and their white trash disciples in 2004.

Any person interested in the facts on file about voodoo economics should read Barlett and Steele's "America" trilogy along with their other closely reasoned, fully footnoted illustrations of the failure of voodoo economics.

voodoo economics AKA- supply side of Reagan?

Supply-side economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The economist John Kenneth Galbraith noted that supply side economics was not a new theory. He wrote, "Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."[69] Galbraith claimed that the horse and sparrow theory was partly to blame for the Panic of 1896.

Forget the fact that Galbraith was the Paul Krugman of the '60s and couldn't pick the winner of a one-horse race.

Excuses are like assholes.

Reagan not only didn't control spending, he expanded it.

Yeah, the democratics stiffed him....But he still didn't make cutting back on bureaucracy and spending a priority, despite all his bluster.

Not really. What everyone really wants is for the America worker to enjoy the same wages and standard of living that elevated 600 Chinese citizens out of poverty. $90 to $200 a month should do just fine. We were eating to much anyways.

BTW... How is that research on Cournot ologopolies coming? Has the Econ 101 course I recommended gotten to it yet? It's in the chapter on production functions, the chapter that describes the supply curvre and how free market companies maximize profits. If you get stuck, let me know. I'll be happy to help, I love that business profit maximization siht they teach at those elitist liberal colleges

Only about the stupidest shit ever uttered by anyone since "We have to pass the bill to see what's in it".

"This extension is important to America’s working families and to our economy. Economists tell us that extending unemployment benefits is the most effective way to quickly grow the economy and create jobs. It is a fast, fair and fiscally responsible investment. For every dollar the federal government invests in unemployment benefits, the return is $1.73 in economic growth.

Where do many of you think that money comes from to pay Walmart employees?

Yes and Pelosi the great economic genius said that food stamps are one of the most stimulative benefits the government could provide. She actually thinks of them as an economic program to end the recession.

Liberals are plain stupid I'm sorry to say!What other explanation is possible??
