Reagan did in fact restore our economy from a near free fall. Clinton did in fact balance the budget. Reagan did so by running the National Debt up from around $850 Billion to north of $2 Trillion. Clinton actually raised spending but raised taxes even more while at the same time adopting NAFTA and the WTO in back to back years which guaranteed the wholesale downfall of Middle America.
So who is the hero and savior; the liberal or the conservative? Neither of course. The American people have and will suffer long term consequences from the ill thought policies of both administrations. The trick to any successful administration is to be able to say, “It was alright when I left.” Both men said as much. Both men were lying.
What have you done lately to further the good of the America’s masses other than rail on the politicians who are counter to your chosen political army? We are in control you know? But not divided we aren’t. The political machine with all of its grandeur is in control and common good is not part of the equation. One side calls the other names and we agree. We detest our neighbor’s for their political leanings, but we have never gone over to meet them.
In this election, there is not one top tier candidate remaining that is telling the truth or has the slightest clue as to how he or she will pull us out of this recession. But who cares? They are carrying the banner of our chosen political army and if we have to sacrifice our cumulative futures and those of our children and grand children’s futures, we’re stickin’ with ‘em because we hate those other guys; those ones that we have never met, but we have heard the sound bites from our candidates and they hate them so we hate them. Sounds like a good plan to me.
Wake up America, we were drafted for mortal combat and didn’t even know it.
