“No child left behind”: obviously too late for the last few Republican leaders, who never learned math, fact-checking, logic, or the differences between facts, fantasies, wishes, and outright lies.

Spending could have been the problem since every year but one Congress passed a budget SMALLER than Raygun asked for but the first two years the income to government DROPPED after Raygun tax cuts. At this point only an idiot can believe that cutting taxes raises income its a faith based argument. It is religious dogma and all evidence is to the contrary

Receipts to the government gaining from 599 billion to 909 billion (unadjusted) is pretty impressive. Spending had to be the problem. Could it have been military spending?

Pence embodies what is wrong with Congress. He has no original thought, will lie with impunity and will refuse to agree with or work with Democrats. All this under the guise of “politics”.

Well, without the prism of politics, this is nothing more than anti-U.S.A. Just watch, when nothing else comes to this pea-brain, he’ll be forced to use floor-time to rail about abortion and the sanctity of marriage…yadda,yadda,yadda.

Hey Pence…I’ve yet to hear you on the floor or interviewed without you lying. Just once Mike…just once show us some kind of worth. Take the high road, work well with others and accomplish…just once.

Nothing projects like a Republican, 67…It seems you are the joke, considering you wholeheartedly support a party which was tepid in its distancing itself away from that racially-charged CD…

Oh my more blatant stupidity from the punk so scared of hippies. We get it. In your pathetic life you were so resentful of the smart kids in class, what with you being the stupid kid who prayed the teacher would never call on him. Then that cool kid with the long hair used to beat your punk ass up so now, living in your mommys basement. With the best job you will ever have asking if they want fries with that you fantasize about annoying the same kind of smart people who used to make you feel so inferior. Well they made you feel inferior because you are. You are a pathetic moron. Stupid beyond all human comprehension. That wont change. You are ignorant and always will be. Posting your sad and pathetic fantasies about annoying all those people who are so much smarter than you on your second hand computer is just another symptom of how sad and pathetic your entire life is and always will be. I feel sorry for you just like any sentient being would. You really ought to stop humiliating yourself this way. We can cut your pathetic snivelling with a knife. Do yourself a favor and slink away. Stop embarassing yourself and exposing just how sad and worthless your life is.

Forget about the idiot troll. His mom told him to shut off his computer so he just sprayed the same nonsense in several threads. You know, typical right wingnut. No value add, just piss-soaked drivel.

US was always world’s greatest creditor country until Reagan and then we quickly became world’s greatest debtor nation. We stopped making things. Reagan rewarded sending jobs overseas. Reagan rewarded investment speculation and junk bonds—a lot of paper shuffling, no manufacturing. Billions of dollars for the top few, but the average Joe lost.

Total national debt first 200 years of United States (to the end of Carter):
$0.9 Trillion

Total debt after 12 years of Reagan and GHW Bush:
$4.1 Trillion

Then conservatives say that was due to the huge increase in spending by the liberals in Congress. Look at an almanac and you will see that there was a big decrease in liberal spending. The increased spending was for weapons and subsidies to the largest corporations. There was a big decrease in revenue.

I predict twenty years from now Republicans will still be saying how full of wonder Reaganomics was.

Far be it from me to express an opinion contrary to this idiot. But the United States for the first time in history became a debtor nation under Reagan. In fact I can remember the day it was announced by a newscaster in funereal tones.
Massive tax cuts for the wealthy. Trickle down economics that did not work and still have not. And have caused this depression. Not recession. Depression. Does anyone remember the S&L debacle. Another Reagan gift. Another Republican gift.

We also had a double digit unemployment rate. And a two year recession. Remember when Reagan cut school lunches, and tried to say that the condiment for schools in the form of catsup was a vegetable? Remember when he tried to count the military as part of the employment picture? Remember when he fired all the air controllers and tried to break the union because they wanted better equipment and decent working hours? Remember Iran/Contra? Remember how he emptied out our mental hospitals and left these people with no place to go? They were released with RX’s and no one to monitor their taking them. I know because he cut social services at the same time and the released patients had no one to help them. And in case any of you have forgotten, that is when our homeless problem was made so very bad. I worked in social services and was on the front line at that time.

This idiot does not know what he is talking about. Republicans never do. And do they lie. They count on Americans short memories and attention span. Well my memory works just fine.

If one really wishes to yank the chains of the foulest creatures I’ve seen on the net, may I suggest Rapture Ready? I was banned, before my one attempted post passed the moderators, for trying to say, “No WMD were found”.

They have now “progressed” to open calls for the assassination of President Elect Obama. This is just one sample:

Can we go to the next step (as we are comparing Obama to Lincoln) . . . what happened to Lincoln on April 14, 1865?

Dumb Question: If, as in recent TP story, Jimmy Carter is responsible for the current war in Israel / Gaza

Wouldn’t it follow that Reagan is responsible for the economic collapse of today ?

Of course, I’m not even doing any sort of logical analysis on the Reagan goal of removing regulation and oversight and how that has contributed to the tax collapse.

By: MapleStreet

MapleStreet — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:12:09 +0000

Uh, were Reagan tax cuts, as the Repub stated, “across the board” ?

-or-

Were they targeted at certain income segments of the economy ?

Guess I didn’t make myself clear, republicans hate facts—he appears more popular in retrospect. I was there. He wasn’t loved all that much.
