The crash of 2007 showed the complete failure of GOP economics |
|
Low upper-class tax rates, anti-regulation, free market, Reganonmics fanaticism lead to the biggest downturn since the Great Depression. So why does all of Washington, including President Obama and the Senate Dem leadership whole heartedly embrace this failed policy and turn it's back on progressive, Keynesian, FDR econonmics which resulted in 40 years of Post-War growth? I am mystified. It is like the creationist have taken over.

You still hear that.
How long have you heard 'Democrats are weak on defense" after that ceased to be the case -- if it ever was?
You still hear that.
Max Planck said "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die."
Works in politics.
