The Father of Reaganomics still defends his invention:



A Proud Father Looks Back
Reaganomics: a Defense


Guess where that is posted?

He didn't see much wrong with Reagan, just a few little details. You know, like it's all just an disagreement among members of the aristocracy, not millions of people getting the shaft in perpetuity. He has the gall to talk about medieval serfs from taxation, like the Koch would say... Pulleeze.

Not upset with Iran-Contra, the treason of the October Surprise, suppressing alternative energy to jump on 'cheap gas' by selling out to the Saudis, no angst about supplying Saddam with poison gas and intel, nor aiding and abetting the growth of the Dominionists pushing theocracy, the attacks on unions and public works and social infrastructure. Just a few little whines here and there, but he leaves the philosophy intact.

He's showcased as a leading intellectual by Alex Jones, and his name is always spoken with a sense of reverence. Nice bedfellows, along with Jones' cozy relationship with Birchers, Libertarians and all the rest who really care about us all. Uh, sure they do:



We still have trickle-down social justice being pushed at black people. If all the classes (read white people who say they aren't racist, ideologically wrong or well-off, etc.) benefit from social justice, the black people will get theirs, too, so they say. Funny, trickle down doesn't seem to work in that matter, either. So I disregard the 'What about me' stuff.

In time, what MLK, Jr. said may very well come true: “Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream,” but for too long it's been getting dammed up as soon as some 'got theirs.'

Just sayin'

Sid, tell me where I'm wrong in my conclusions. No love for PCR from here.
