<p>
************************************************</p>
<p>
   Oh. What was the deficit under Reagan? How many stupid bailouts did Reagan do? How many people</p>
<p>
seriously wondered if Reagan was really a Muslim? How many socialists and communists did Reagan have</p>
<p>
in his cabinet? I remember Tip O'Neal was speaker. That means the Dems were in control....</p>
<p>
  How many times did Reagan affront and embarrass the Supreme Court at a State of the Union address or any speech?</p>
<p>
  Did Reagan EVER show complete disdain for our Constitution? How many companies did Reagan take over?</p>

<p>
  I don't believe I ever heard Nancy Reagan say "for the first time I am proud of my country".............</p>

<p>
  Say, why does Obamao get to blame all of HIS disasters on Bush, but Republican Presidents get the</p>
<p>
"buck stops with him, it's all on him" from day one?</p>
<p>
  Get serious.</p>
<p>
  Did Reagan ever SAY and TRY to completely remake our country? Did he EVER say "redistribute the wealth" ???</p>

<p>
  I could go on, you know. We're dealing with NOW as a DISASTER, HIDEOUSLY compounded by Obamao's many </p>
<p>
failures.</p>
<p>
********************************</p>
<p>
We're in a horrible economy with unemployment just under 10% and not going anywhere soon. The stimulus and the Fed and the bailouts, while keeping us from going under, have not revived the economy to anyone's satisfaction. We're going to be in this slump for a while no matter who is in charge. It could be a decade.</p>
<p>
********************************</p>
<p>
  It didn't keep us from going under. It just delayed the recovery, and skyrocketed the debt to extremely dangerous levels.</p>
<p>
Obamao PROMISED THE STIMULUS would KEEP UNEMPLOYMENT below 8 percent. He was completley full of crap.</p>

<p>
  Tell me, Heck - was Obamao completely incompetent? Or was he just a corrupt lying somebeech? Pick one.</p>
<p>
********************************</p>
<p>
But Obama is going to get the blame, which is how it works. But you keep pounding on the stimulus and how it "didn't work" then asking for a real intelligent discussion. Well, what intelligent or knowledgeable person would make a statement like "the stimulus didn't work"?</p>
<p>
********************************</p>
<p>
  Oh, boy. I'll answer that one a bit later with documentation.</p>
<p>
  I don't EVER remember you excusing Bush for anything. </p>
<p>
********************************</p>
<p>
Which is why there's no point having a conversation with you. You can debate the stimulus up and down, and scholars will be doing it for years. But there's no doubt it added jobs and increased GDP. It's just a question of whether it was big enough, or crafted appropriately enough. You'd have a hard time finding an economist who didn't favor some sort of large stimulus package. </p>
<p>
*********************************</p>
<p>
  You are so sold out to the left, that you can't bring yourself to be honest. A government employment blip does nothing</p>
<p>
to help our economy. Big enough? Are you kidding? Do we really have to post all the extreme ASININE WASTE that was</p>
<p>
in that stupid 768 billion "stimulus" bill? Really? Do you want us to post the abuse? </p>
<p>
*********************************</p>
<p>
So you want to have the stimulus discussion, or blame Obama for the economy, you should read some first. </p>

<p>
*******************************</p>
<p>
 I read a lot. If you want to have intelligent conversation, you should stop with your moveonupObamao'sleg.orgy talking points</p>
<p>
with no documentation whatsoever.</p>

<p>
   You see, Heck, I DIDN'T START THE STUPID THREAD. Go check it out. READ and COMPREHEND and BE HONEST for a change.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/191071</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/191071</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[calfoxwc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:20:33 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Is there anywhere online where one can find intelligent and measured political discussion? on Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:21:15 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cal, you know if you look at Reagan's over his first two years it looks just like that?</p>
