Forget the fringe candidates...the One picked by the GOP to oppose Obama will be a war hawk, will advocate more tax cuts for the rich, will demand huge cuts for programs that benefit the rest of us, and will set America on the path to total economic polarization.






There will practically only be a Republican alternative, a single candidate.


This person will be for continuing and probably expanding our country’s disastrous wars and war spending.


Spending cuts and laying off hundreds of thousands of government workers is very likely.


In short, the Republican alternative is to shift government employment spending from things like health care, Social Security and food stamps to hiring more soldiers to invade more Muslim countries.


And to continue to drive up deficit spending ....

More like total economic destruction.
That is their actual goal, to prove this government system doesn't work having destroyed it from within with the support of the gullible who vote against their own best interests.
Then they can build it anew to suit their totalitarian goals and further benefit their benefactors.

Don't forget, the traitors make even more money in a repression/depression. Just look at Goldman Sachs for proof.
 
I was at an anti war demonstration back in the day with a roommate who was a Vietnam vet against the war. Like most demonstrations - lots of rah-rah, problems identified and steam let off. We talked about how to bring real policy change to our govt and demonstrating is good but he made me realize that real change won't come to this country until joe six-pack feels it in his wallet. By 1973-74 we had the Opec oil embargo and the war was over in 75.

Now 30 years of conservative ideology has caused the American people to take it in the shorts even bigger than in the 70s! Do ya think there's going to be a huge backlash against it? I do.
 
For three decades we have conducted a massive economic experiment, testing a theory known as supply-side economics.


The theory goes like this: Lower tax rates will encourage more investment, which in turn will mean more jobs and greater prosperity—so much so that tax revenues will go up, despite lower rates.


The late Milton Friedman, the libertarian economist who wanted to shut down public parks because he considered them socialism, promoted this strategy.


Ronald Reagan embraced Friedman’s ideas and made them into policy when he was elected president in 1980.


For the past decade, we have doubled down on this theory of supply-side economics with the tax cuts sponsored by President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003, which President Obama has agreed to continue for two years.


You would think that whether this grand experiment worked would be settled after three decades.


You would think the practitioners of the dismal science of economics would look at their demand curves and the data on incomes and taxes and pronounce a verdict, the way Galileo and Copernicus did when they showed that geocentrism was a fantasy because Earth revolves around the sun (known as heliocentrism).


But economics is not like that. It is not like physics with its laws and arithmetic with its absolute values.


Tax policy is something the framers left to politics. And in politics, the facts often matter less than who has the biggest bullhorn.


The Mad Men who once ran campaigns featuring doctors extolling the health benefits of smoking are now busy marketing the dogma that tax cuts mean broad prosperity, no matter what the facts show.

Funny how the brainwashed wingnuts will groan at posts but have no comments or don't even try to support their failed ideology.

That's because they are bereft of facts and incapable of debate, so they use the only tools they have - childish, meaningless ad hominem attacks.

Sounds like a description of 2007-2010 with Democrats in control of both houses. Staggering growth in spending, deficits and unemployment.

Exactly. The Dems think no one knows they took over congress in January 2007, two years before Obama took office. That's when this nation began sliding down.
 
what i find extremely humorous is the complete sameness between people of both parties when they talk about the other. When the GOP/conservatives are in power, it's always the democrats/liberals that are bereft of ideas and have no facts or substance in their debates. Same when the Dems are in power, it's always the GOP/conservatives who are bereft of ideas and have no facts or substance in their debates. you guys crack us up, especially the incredible lengths you both go to in order to slam Libertarians. At least you all have some things in common.
