The Middle Class Is No Longer America's Economic Majority

  1. ha, ha, typical democrat. You say something bad about Bush and you expect conservatives to defend him just because he was a republican like you would defend anybody that was a democrat. We don't care if they have an R or a D in front of their name. For us it's C or L. And Bush was definately not a C.

  2. You are proving to be a vapid annoyance. This has nothing to do with labels; merely who left an avoidable mess for whom.

  4. My mistake. I was "multi-tasking" and missed the point that you were critical of Bush. And so, I removed the last sentence from my post that you quoted.

  5. He was certainly not very conservative with the number or magnitude of his mistakes and oversights.

    Agreed. The lower tiers (mostly millenials) have little interest in home ownership and other wealth building activities. They also job hop a lot more.

    he was a big spender as governor of texas therefore the scenario was not surprising to me.

    Was he president in 1981? In 2001? What a gratuitous and useless comment.

  9. and you just dignified it by replying. We need better timestamps on posts. A lot of these posts are written late at night local time after a lot of alcohol and the vulgarity flows. And then the next morning early risers reply as if they are replyining to some conversation that was going on at the bar last night.

    The second part seems right, but I'm not so convinced about the first: I suspect Reagan's share of the blame was bigger, and most of the mess just took a generation or so to show up (as it did in some other countries, too).
