As long as you overlook the fact that the rate of poverty is UP over that time period, sure, that helps people working at the welfare office I guess...
Poverty is up because the last 30 years has been the conservative era
You go with that Sparky. The rest of us will overlook the exponential increase in laws, regulations overall growth of government at federal and states' level....'cuz that's a result of a 'conservative era'...![]()
I suppose Detroit has been run by conservatives for the last 30 years too...
You're so blinded by bias it's impossible to have rational discourse. Good luck with that.
Republicans and conservatives have NEVER given us less government. Their idea of 'less government' is less Democrats and liberals in government. And less constraints on Wall Street, corporations, banks or any other entity that robs from the poor and middle class.
And they have given us DEBT. It took 39 Presidents 200 years to accumulate $1 trillion dollars of debt. It took Ronald Reagan 5 YEARS to accumulate the second $1 trillion dollars of debt.
"The debt explosion has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party's embrace, about three decades ago, of the insidious doctrine that deficits don't matter if they result from tax cuts."
David Stockman - Director of the Office of Management and Budget for U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
