How Reagonomics and Supply Side Economics Screwed The Middle Class and the Poor

?

Tax give-aways to the rich, deregulation, union busting, Republican policies promised increased jobs, increased revenues and increased prosperity. The record: $9.2 trillion in debt, the greatest income disparity in history, 4 recessions, and a decade of zero job growth.


The 99% are not mad that the 1% prospered. We are mad that many of them cheated to gain their obscene wealth by corrupting the system with their hoards of cash to influence the political process to favor themselves over everyone else.


This income disparity is the end result of Supply Side economics. And we, the 99%, are all the poorer for it. Allowed to continue, we will be the first generation in American history to leave a lower standard of living to our children and grandchildren.

That azzhole was the worst liar in the White House since Harding!!

It will trickle down in the near future

they wizz on us and tell us it's raining.

Pres. Obama gets to deal with the wreckage of both 30 years of Reagan's economic policies & 8 years of Bush's foreign & economic policies.

Well, clearly we all get to deal with that wreckage but I meant "deal with" as in being responsible for fixing - an impossible task in 3 years.

9 of last 10 recessions occured under Republuican leadership:

THE PARTY WITH THE BEST RECORD OF SERVING REPUBLICAN ECONOMIC VALUES IS THE DEMOCRATS, AND IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE!"

National Debt:
Every President, from Truman to Carter, steadily paid down the staggering debt that was run up in our fight against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. That pattern came to a screeching halt with Reagan/Bush and Bush. Clinton’s fiscal policy was a brief respite during this orgy of deficit spending.

Clinton's economic policies balanced 5 budgets, which is 5 more balanced budgets than the last 5 Republican presidents combined.
