This economy isn’t unprecidented. It isn’t any worse than Reagan inherited when he took office. It was caused by government intervention when the Democrats controled it. That is proven, documented and damning. The evidence is in, the discusion is over. (I sound like a Democrat don’t I? LOL) The Republicans fault lays in the fact they didn’t take the heat to make changes because they lacked the backbone to take the political heat.
The only thing the government should have been doing was stopping the large number of monopolistic combinations that have reduced competition.
So many socialists hated the decades of the 80s and 90s with their unpresidented prosperity. They despised it. It filed them with horror. The idea that individuals were being successful without government intervention to slap them down made them apoplectic.
That’s why they are so enraptured about this president, this congress and this economic dip. Here is a chance to make the world (don’t mistake that fact) dependant on govenment largess, control and discipline.
Of course this economy wasn’t nearly bad enough to force such monumental changes as destroying the basis of the American economy for the last 200 years. Thus the trilions being spent that will reduce the US to a second world country and beggar our children and grandchildren. This is a good thing in many of the true believers eyes.
