Regan inherited one too. You didn’t see him blaming carter for it all the time. He fixed it! When am I going to hear the end of this childish “I didn’t do it” rant. Just fix it Obama. Lower taxes and don’t let government get involved in my life. We the people will pull out of this without government involvement

Some simple economic truths:
* Raising taxes NEVER increases revenue except for the very short term. Lowering taxes usually increases economic activity and revenue overall.
* Income inequality is a meaningless concept – those who come by their wealth legally never do so at the expense of the poor. The quality of life for even the lowest earners is always better in a free-market society.
* The government can not create jobs (other than make-work), they can only limit the ability of the private sector.
* Socialism never works regardless of the number of times it has been tried.

The fact is in the past 10 years standards of living have fallen, inequality has increased dramatically and the debt has risen from a few hundred billion to several trillion. The original George Bush was right: it’s voodoo economics to think that you can slash taxes without reining in spending and expect the economy to catapult ahead of that somehow.

Actually, the labor market was doing very nicely under Bush once the Republicans regained the Senate and passed a supply side tax cut. Jobs were being created. The unemployment rate was declining. The civilian labor force was expanding. The civilian labor force participation rate was increasing. The employment-population ratio was growing as well. And we had record tax revenues.

1) The chart is accurate
2) Apparently patience is a virtue that is lost on you and the American people. It’s funny how everyone expects instant gratification. To believe that you can turn around 30 years of bad policy in one years time is preposterous.

Even if your conclusions were accurate, Obama promised the stimulus would create jobs. And so far we have seen negative job growth. So much for his promises. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-by-the-President-and-Vice-President-at-Signing-of-the-American-Recovery-an/

Reagan referred to the Taliban as the “Freedom Fighters”, and also considered them to be no different than America’s Founding Fathers.

I’m sure you’ll agree that 9/11/01 was the Clinton administration’s fault.
