Can we impeach Bush for stupidity?

[Imran Siddiqui]

and I'll now go back to posting on-topic, too.

Bah! On-Topic is for losers and +1ers .

ahh yes and the wage stagnation... great job making sure the rich got richer while everyone else's money was worth less.

[JohnT]

Well, we had this debate a few years ago, but in my case that wasn't necessarily so, Sava. My family was flat-assed broke in 1980, very comfortable in 1989.

How the hell did we get from assinating people to Reagan?

No wonder why you're depressed.

You see a rainbow and complain it means the ground is wet, don't you?

Yes, and your single case is representative of ALL OF AMERICA!


I'm not even going to waste a rolleyes on that one.

Verto: Rainbow? The right is so stupid when it comes to Raygun... Those economic policies were crap. Yes there was job creation, but they were lesser paying jobs. Wages stagnated, and he helped increase taxes for the middle and working classes. Yes, he spent one year cutting taxes, and the rest of his presidency raising them to pay for his massive deficit spending. There's not one bit of information that leads the objective person to believe Reagan did anything good... but the right worships him like he's Jesus ****ing CHrist. Reaganphiles are a bunch of dopes. But hey, most of them like Bush too.

The problem is, it's impossible to have a reasonable debate about Reagan and his policies because all the morons are like, "OMG REGUN = GOOD OMG". And in absence of a reasonable debate, I feel it's my duty to call the morons, morons.

Most of the 20 million jobs created paid at least 10$ an hour.

So says somebody notorious for seeing one "abuse" and indicting an entire swarth of people because of it. Or do you not remember whining about how you hate all "soccer moms" because a couple of them drove their SUV's too fast through your white-flight neighborhood.

From http://www.presidentreagan.info/reagan_budgets.cfm

Take it for what it's worth:

On average, Congress spent 2.8% more than Reagan asked for, while the cumulative (yearly compounding rate) was a whopping 24.5% more. If the budget in 1989 had been 24.5% smaller (i.e., 280 billion dollars) there could have been a surplus of about 130 billion dollars instead of a deficit. This is equivalent to a constant compounding increase of 2.8% every year during the 8 budgets above and beyond the previous year's spending. If anyone still thinks that is not a significant amount, they should ask themselves whether a balanced budget in 1989 would have been significant.

you mean you take my savarants seriously? you need more help than I originally thought.

Now the big question is this:

Is your inability to take yourself seriously contributing to your self-esteem problems, or are your self-esteem problems denying you the ability to take yourself seriously?

Next, on Sally Jesse Raphael!

Actually, I just enjoy making fun of people and watching their reactions to my rants. I'm sure that has something to do with my problems, but I'm no Sigmund Fraud.

What's better than a picture of the Iron Lady? A picture of the Iron Lady with The Reagan

I get it now. I really should look to Reagan for inspiration. After all, if HE can become president, anyone can!
