And then cheated during his re-election campaign, resulting in a federal government in disarray and his ultimate ousting.<br /><br />Bush Junior did absolutely nothing to intervene as the housing bubble inflated and then popped, taking down the banks and then the entire economy.<br /><br />Trump sat around with his thumb up his butt and did almost nothing to defend Americans as a new and virulent disease swept the globe.<br /><br />Only when a Republican leader is lucky enough to avoid having a major crisis happen during his administration, and at least smart enough not create any crises of his own, does the economy make it through his term(s) of office unscathed.<br /><br />The biggest example of this would be Saint Ronnie Reagan, who frankly accomplished jack shit, other than spewing free-marketeer "government is the problem" propaganda, but got extremely lucky in some events that happened coincidentally during his rule. In particular, the economy improved, mostly due to monetary policy set by the Fed chairman, Paul Volcker -- who was appointed by Reagan's predecessor, Carter.<br /><br />Naturally, the wingnuts instead gave all the credit to Reagan's tax cuts, deregulation, and union-busting, which actually put the country on a path to massive income inequality and general decline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-62211500856237148762021-02-03T15:53:50.794-05:002021-02-03T15:53:50.794-05:00Here's the reason the economy suffers under Re...Here's the reason the economy suffers under Republican presidents<br /><br /> In addition to considering the Gross Domestic Product and other empirical factors, we ought to consider a moral one, to wit: the reason the United States fails to thrive under GOP presidents is because they so often seek out more and better ways to lie to us.<br /><br />These lies are intentional.

Speaking of whom:<br /><br />"Capitol", spelled with an O, refers to the head, of government or of the body. "Capital", spelled with an A, refers to the means of production, Comrade. <br /><br />Gun cultists, as is typical of fanatics, misread their holy text. The Second Amendment is at pains to mention the need for a "well-regulated" militia; a clause that gun cultists routinely ignore. As a result of that, and Scalia's scandalous ruling in "DC vs Heller", we now have only half of the 2nd Amendment, with malign results now self-evident. I propose this repair of the broken 2nd: "The right of the people to bear arms in a well-regulated State militia shall not be infringed." One grammatical clause, that links rights and responsibility. <br /><br />There's much else, but I have class to teach in a few minutes, and they <i>are</i> ladies and gentlemen.
