You are not comparing apples and apples. what worked before doesn't work now.
Reagan walked into the presidency during a recession, and didn't do a damn thing in his first two years to correct it. The recession corrected itself. Any company that was flirting with bankruptcy went out of business during these two years.
World War II got us out of the Great Depression. You have full employment in times of war.
This talk about the US becoming a socialist country is total nonsense. We have social programs now, that doesn't mean we a socialist country. With all the lobbyists representing big business in Washington, how in the name of God's creation will the US become a socialist country? Socialism sounds like a swear word so the Republican politicians will keep throwing it out there to scare the uninformed public.
If you can't dazzle with brilliance, baffle them with bull$hit.

Nice try at "baffling" them.
"Socialism" IS a swear word. Maybe you don't remember that America has fought wars against socialism/communism. It is a REAL threat to America, only now the war is on the inside. The word Socialism in America is synonymous with the word "lazy." Where else would you have stupid, ignorant people protesting the rich for being rich? You may not be "uninformed" or ignorant, but you sure are naive if you don't realize the socialist threat in America. While the Democrats embrace socialism, I will continue to support those that fight it, and still embrace capitalism. You see, I have no problem with the rich getting richer. Because that is why our supposed poverty level families live like middle class in other countries, socialist countries. The rich get richer and the lower level classes live better. The gov doesn't improve one's lifestyle. It only makes slaves of the lower class.
