Would that include Social Security recipients, Medicare recipients, and big business who recieve government assistance?

People receiving social security worked and paid into the system and earned their benefits.I am against big business receiving government assistance with tax payer dollars.Capitalism allows you to be successful or fail,it should not be up to the government to choose which ones do either.

But you were paying more in interest under Carter and the inflation rate was out of sight. Ya'll can bash Reagan all you like, the proof is in the pudding and his success is history, not speculation.

There you go again...making stuff up.

Prime Rate History

Rates were higher under Reagan than Carter.

Of course, I did not have to look it up.

As a neophyte small businessman I remember.

Now that I don't owe any money rates are low...

You're wasting your time. Once a Gipper fetish takes hold, there's no turning back.

There you go again- misinterpreting the data.

Rate when Carter took office: 6.25%
Rate when Carter left office/Reagan took office: 15.25%
percentage increase under Carter: 144%

Rate when Reagan took office: 15.25%
Rate when Reagan left office: 10.50%
Percentage decrease under Reagan: 31%

I lived it as well and I remember the pain of the Carter years and how things improved under Reagan.

If what Reagan did stoked our economy, created jobs and inspired Americans then I say we do it again now. We're in a major hole here and I would like prosperity over austerity.

The mistake made during the Reagan years was that spending was not cut, which produced deficits. The cold war was the reason for alot of the spending, so the results may have been worth the cost. This time we need to remedy the weakness in strategy and cut spending as well.

So... the Cold War has been over for several decades. I guess you would have thought defense spending would have gone down. Ha, ha ,ha. "The mistake made in the Bush years was that spending was not cut." Is there an echo in here?

Republicans have the cutting taxes down but need to work on cutting spending........1/2 right.
Democrats do not have either down.........zero right.

Call me when Democrats gt something right
