And we haven't been attacked like 9/11, the financial markets haven't collapsed like September 2008, the Dow is hovering around 18,000, unemployment is just above 5%, gas prices are still low.

When President Obama leaves office in January 2017, line up all of your financial statements and compare them to January 2009, the month he was sworn in, and ask yourself 'Am I better off now than I was eight years ago'?

Reagans recovery was built on growth and enterprise. The current stock market bubble is a result of several trillion dollars of borrowed money and trillions in QE by the Fed. I'll keep the money but at least, unlike you, I know enough who to thank -- our kids for letting us charge up their credit card and sticking them with the bill

Also, ironically enough, the artificially high stock market is an excellent example of income inequality which is what the Left wrings its hands over. Go figure ...

Yea and Reagan raised taxes!

Guest 03-30-2015 11:35 AM

Actually RR reduced the top income tax rate from 70 to 28% and indexed the tax code to inflation. In short, he restored the incentive to work.

Obama, by contrast, has reduced the incentive to work (various income transfer programs, food stamps and illegal Immigartion to cite a few examples )

He lowered the tax rate for the wealthy and placed more on the middle class. Sounds like redistribution of wealth to me, but that is the tea party way, as long as it benefits the billionaire benefactors! And he would still be a Rino today!

You have never understood basic economics and finally convinced us all you never will ... (Ps this is your cue to call me a racist and various other reliable standbys)

The more I think about Liz Warren as President (plus Chief of the Cherokees) the more I like it

She is so bat sh*t crazy she may end up scaring Putin and the Ayatollahs ... obviously Obama does not

Don't know what this has to do with the OP, but I'll roll with it. Perhaps you can splain to us lesser minds how lowering the rates on the wealthy, and increasing the tax burden on the middle class helps the economy, or more specifically, the middle class to which most of us belong. The top marginal rate in the 50's was more than 90%, a decade in which the middle class enjoyed the greatest prosperity in history, with low unemployment, low inflation, and high productivity. The top marginal rate today is 39.6%, an era in which the middle class is losing prosperity at an alarming rate. Some of you seem to have bought into the Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, et al propaganda that the wealthy will take good care of the economy if they only get to keep more of what they acquire and get rid of those pesky regulations on their businesses. They have bought you with religious scare tactics and out and out lies to promote their agenda, which in no way benefits you or your kids and grandkids (unless you are a Walton or a Ford etc.)
