The changes that came from the 80s precipitated the loss of all of our manufacturing prowess.

US workers became too expensive when cheap labor in foreign countries became available. This is the success of capitalism and free trade. Unfortunately, we now have some geopolitical concerns that are undermining this success.

Party politics is not the root cause of the loss of greatness, it's corporate greed.

Party politics is the root cause. Democrats have promoted a virulent anti-American agenda. Obama went on an "apology" tour to tell to the world that the US is an evil racist society sucking the life out of other nations. Look at the 1619 project and the DEI programs. Biden, when he assumed office, even made racial discrimination an official government policy which promoted divisiveness, hatred, and self-loathing. The US cannot be great when the Democrats endlessly promote hatred, racism, self-loathing, and divisiveness.

After WWII, the US was pretty much the only country left standing. As a result, we went out of our way with our trade policies to do everything we could to help everyone else get back on their feet. We should have started pulling back on this policy in the 60's but never did. There is no reason for us to be subsidizing Europe today. They can stand on their own socialist feet.

You must really drown yourself in that one sided political propaganda.

In the almost 250 years of existence, when were we at our greatest, and how were we great?

1955. Just kidding

 

[Isaac]

Yes, that's the one that explains it very well.

There is also some spiritual forces at work to destroy all that is good and especially all that is Israel related. The whole "division between us thing" is not an easy force to reckon with because at the core it is spiritual in nature. I never seen anything like this before, so if there is a way to heal the division between all of us, I believe it has to include God. I know our democrat friends would tell us, just get trump out of there. But that is definitely not the answer. He was attacked on a daily basis from every direction by these forces to attempt to force him out of politics. That might have been the major factor why he won this last election so big. He stands for things that many people support with love of country being way up on the list. You can't hate the country for it's imperfect past and dismiss all of the good things that happened along the way. We need healing from within.

My guess is that our push/demand towards the truth behind all of the corruption is pissing off the unseen evil forces, and they are becoming more and more bold about their intensions to further the divide. Call it whatever you want, there are some very sinister forces at work to make people hate the country by viewing it in a twisted way. Going forward is only good if your going in the right direction. Sometimes you got to put the brakes on, go back, and get on the right path.

As Tom Mcdonald says, you can hate the government and still love the country. This country needs more real patriots

And you are delusional as to what has been going on.

 

[AccessBlaster]

It's funny to me when I see the America last crowd complaining about when America was ever great. It causes them to defend the opposite. That was on full display a few nights ago.

 

[Thales750]

And you are delusional as to what has been going on.

I'm not the one that blaims everything on them. I think there is plenty to go around. And i do actually know the history of the economy. I didn't learn it from Rush hour Rush and the rest of the talking heads.

 

[Steve R.]

And i do actually know the history of the economy.

You don't demonstrate that at all.

I didn't learn it from Rush hour Rush and the rest of the talking heads.

A perverted comment from you. Name one person on this forum who claimed to have learned economics from Rush. Your comment demonstrates that you make-up imaginary "facts" to disingenuously assert a false assertion. You have no credibility.
Where did you learn your so-called "economics"?

You all repeat all of the things he used to say.


Well one thing is for sure, I didn't learn it from liberals, although they do often say some of the same things.

I know this, from 1944 through 1963, you know, the time many believe was the pinnacle of US greatness. The highest tax rate was over 90%

If any one of you would connect the dots you would see there is somethin missing from your economic belief system.

I also know this: 36% of the US economy is based on government spending. The Federal government spending accounts for 23% of US GDP.

Here is another one, we have the highest per person health care cost in the world, and the most overall cost. And yet, we are down in almost every quality of life metric; compared to many other 1st world nations. Number 27 in longevity.

We have a trade deficit equal to more than the rest of the world combine.

If any of you would have ever once mentioned these facts (not truths or opinions) maybe you would have some credibility.

Make America Great Again seems to be a cheer for turning us in to a Theocratic Oligarchy.

As it turns out, I agree with most of the moderates in the Republican Party, and with some of you when you say the Democrats have gone too far into Woke Land. This last election is a prime example. The way we are headed though, MAGA might just mean the end of our old friendships ,and a revisit to the days of the Great Depression.

I know a few more facts about the cause and effect of Trickle Down on our daily lives. You probably don't really care.

I learned a lot from listening to CSPAN on my way to work. It seemed to be a little more fact based than Rush Hour Rash and his ditto heads. .

Ah yes, the good old days when the government took 90% of your money because nothing says 'economic freedom' like handing over nearly everything you earn. But sure, tell us more about how more government control will fix all our problems.

[Steve R.]

She brags that she is on the House Appropriations Committee!!
Yet she ignores that we are $X trillion in debt, but glowing expresses that government money will make life better for you.
Like all Democrats she never suggests how and where to reduce government spending to balance the budget.
I wonder if she even knows what a budget is?

 

[Thales750]

Your sarcasm is pretty weak, you know that, right. Why aren't you curious as how that made everything great? It was a big factor.
And you wonder why I think your brainwashed.
Nobody actually paid that much, it acted as incentive to reinvest. You speech with a forked tongue, you say Trump should teach those evil Mexicans and Canadians a lesson. By raising taxes on the American Middle Class.

But its pure communism to raise it on the wealthiest.

I'm just saying that we are remis if we don't look at all of the elements that contributed to greatness. It was during those times when America was at it's greatest that we should emulate. It's too easy to just blame the liberals.

Shame you cant see that.

I would be a MAGA supporter, if only it were done with a modicum of possibility to actually working.

By the way, there is no such thing as the good ol' days,

When I was young, I said to myself, and out load, I will never grow out of touch with young people.
Ha, was I ever wrong about that.

 

[AccessBlaster]

So let me get this straight: after the government takes 90% of what I earn, I’m free to reinvest the remaining 10%? Wow, that’s quite an incentive! You know, people have to eat, pay their mortgages, and put their kids through college, right?

you say Trump should teach those evil Mexicans and Canadians a lesson. By raising taxes on the American Middle Class.

Nope, never did. I like all people. I want everyone to get a fair shake.

It's too easy to just blame the liberals.

Yeah, I agree. I do wonder will they ever recover and be competitive in politics again? The American people have seen how nasty they are.

Wow, you simply can't imagine a world where MAGA isn't the answer for everything. The point was they would invest to avoid taxes. They built factories, ships, airplanes, machine tools, automobiles, you know, 70% of what was made in the world was made in the USA.

Doc was correct when he wrote about the rest of the world being bombed out. That, and other things were making us great, like the best educational systems in the world, but high tax rates for the ultra rich was no small part.

Eventually, they got rich enough to became money lenders, an entire encyclopedia could be written about that leading to our 3rd world style separation of wealth. Of course, the bought and paid for politicians didn't hurt.

Item 2: You were bragging earlier how Trump was so smart with this bullying our neighbors with the threat of tariffs.

To your third point. The next midterm elections will see the largest aisle switch in US history, when everyone (except MAGA nutters) finds out it wasn't Biden, it was Trump that destroyed their life savings and ability to buy eggs.

Keep the faith, stick to the script, idiot leaders come, and idiot leaders go. It will all work out,

Do you know anything about the history of conservative propaganda, like who invented the term Supply Side Economic?

 

[Thales750]

Funny how hard it is to weigh all the evidence.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Are you saying Biden did a good job?

it was Trump that destroyed their life savings and ability to buy eggs.

Love the revisionist history, Biden killed millions of chickens for no good reason, he caused uncertainty within the market.
