Can someone tell me the amount of debt Regan and the Bush's accumulated?

[nynco]

I would end the FED and return to the constitutionally mandated duty of the Treasury to control the money supply.

I would also end all the loop holes that people use to get out of paying taxes. I would also cut a bunch of stuff from the federal budget.

That was over 15 years ago and in Greely...

How do you reestablish the middle class? You create a tax code that taxes the life out of the profits of the major job creators. You do not tax or threaten their revenue, you do however tax the life out of their profits.

Trickle down economics do not work.

Wonderful sarcasm. nynco's not even realizing you made fun of him.

Agreed trickle down does not work. We have a long history to look at as to what works and what does not. Resoundingly voodoo economics has failed. We don't just need to raise taxes on Americans. What we need to do is raise taxes on foreigners. Bring back the tariff system that the founding fathers establish that existed all the way till Reagan started to dismantle them and Clintoon put on steroids with NAFTA.

Yes! Because the Smoot-Hawley tariff worked soooo well the first time!

This is hilarious because the Democrats agreed in December of 2010 that "trickle down" (an outrageously ignorant misrepresentation) does work when they agreed to continue the Bush era tax rates because they feared sabotaging the economy.

And we raise taxes on "foreigners" by getting them to come to America, walk through a dark alley and mug them? Or what? Send out Marine Amphib Units to invade foreign countries and haul off their goods like Viking raids?

I can't believe how your comments get more and more ridiculous.

Its called Voodoo economics for a reason... look it up; GHWB coined that term, he is a fiscal conservative.

More like the fear of not being RE-ELECTED!

Someone please close this thread too.

It's a historical fact, singlestack. You can't argue with that.

[spqrzilla]

Singlestack, in nynco's case, its obvious that he isn't using a strawman argument. Instead, what is happening is that nynco is truly utterly ignorant of the arguments of his political opponents. He has no clue what their stance is, what their policy positions are, and what the explanations for those policy positions are. The result is that he makes up stuff, presents utterly cartoonish versions of his opponents and looks like a fool.
