dude still talking about reagan. Can you believe it? And trickle down didn't work. If it didn't work there'd be no reason to bring it up.

The reason to bring it up is to remind those few NOT affected by it that it has worked for the tiny MINORITY.

dude reagan was spot on, and people did make money. in fact invested in the 90s and Bill Clinton and the republican congress got us in the black. How about that, a dem pres with a repub congress and it worked.

Unfortunately, the dotcoms all but dried up and manufacturing decided to leave cause of NAFTA.
North American Free Trade Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"the House of Representatives passed the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act on November 17, 1993, 234-200. The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. The bill passed the Senate on November 20, 1993, 61-38.[6] Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993; the agreement went into effect on January 1, 1994.[7][8] Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that "NAFTA means jobs. American jobs,"

You are wasting your time, these idiots know nothing about economics but what they are spoon fed. And they are spoon fed a diet of "Trickle down is responsible for all our troubles". No amount of reason will change their alleged minds.

Trickle Down is nice idea in a Fair Market.

it worked and that's that. It worked, it made a bunch of intelligent people a lot of money and they shared it with their employees, there was profit sharing and stock and many other venture opportunities for everyone, not just the 1 percenters and Obama and Bush shot it all down. just stop with the reagan shit, it isn't good for you.

To what year are you referring?

I read Government sites and both parties agreed on write-offs for companies that off-shored.
Not to mention Patent Protection and Military protection of shipped goods.

i just get tired of the left criticizing the right and it was both, so either know the facts or shut up is my policy. I showed how it came to be and that then President Clinton even state it would cost American jobs. I quoted it.

You didn't SHOW anything, you ranted.
I's enjoy some Links to off-shoring and H1-B Legislation.
Not to mention that starting in GW's 2nd term, the requirement to interview US citizens before interviewing H1-Bs was no longer enforced.

dude, I already posted GWB was to blame. What else you want? I'm a conservative admitting he was at fault as was the democratic congress. And I posted the Nafta trade agreement that started the phase out of manufacturing in the US as we knew it. Both parties jack, both, not repubs only. And yet you still can't admit it was Clinton. surprised, I'm not.

Clinton started the H1-B flood and GW and Obama did nothing to stop it.

correct had nothing to do with trickle down. NOTHING

It is sad that not many people know or understand such.

Blah blah blah! Here's the bottom line:

Lefties want to close the gap by tearing down the rich. Righties want to close the gap by making everyone rich.

That's the only thing that matters now.

I personally want to outlaw CEOs and Directors attending Banquets and Barbeques for politicians.
Events that the overwhelming number of citizens cannot afford.

Can't. The only fair way to do it would be to take the money out of the political process. You can't just take out corporate money.

Why not?

It would be a legal challenge to differentiate between a wealthy individual representing themselves or representing their business.
Limitations on contributions need to be limited by amount and by entity status, as in a person and not a business entity.

The problem is getting worse. Thank God, Democrats are attempting to do something about it.

Correct. A business entity is not a person they do not have a vote and therefore should not have influence. I think you could bypass all of that with public funding and one- time small individual contributions.

So far you have offered nothing of reason. You keep ranting like a 10 year old with nothing close to a fact for support.

Trickle Down is nice idea in a Fair Market.

Sure but even then it has a shelf life and the real reason our economy is in such a shambles happened in 2007 and was not the result of trickle down economics.

Inequality was growing long before 2007.

Nope. He reimposed oil extraction restrictions which drove prices up. Those higher energy prices drove all consumer goods prices up.

He also did a lot for fuel economy which drove down demand for oil which would lower prices.

Obviously not enough if the average household lost $10k annually.

But now prices are really low. Again you exaggerate the presidents influence on the price of gas.

Nope. Not at all. This president affected oil prices in a bad way exactly in the same manner the previous president, with the reluctant acquiescence of a democrat congress, made prices drop.
This current drop is mostly in spite of obama's green energy bullshit. Fracking.
The ransom-paying deal with the extortionist criminal gang in iran has now exacerbated the drop on oil price. Thank ayatollah obama for that.

The Saudis have some control of oil price. The U.S. can't do anything to have a fldramatic effect.

Oh yes we can. We have more potential oil than Saudi Arabia.

Sure we do. That's why we are fracking and they are putting us out of business.

If obama hadn't imposed restrictions fracking would be moot and the method would be way less costly.

"Drill! Baby! Drill!"
"What's that? The Price of oil went down?"
"Lay off 95% of the workers and the next time the price goes up..."
"Drill! Baby! Drill!"

 

[Blackrook]

I read the story, and the OP is lying about what it said.

It said the top 1% has as much money as the bottom half of the population.

The story did not say that the 1% had as much money as everyone who wasn't in the top 1%.

Lay off temp workers in a market that shouldn't have required their employment in the first place.
You have the propaganda covered.

You need to give some reason to believe the US can effect the price of gas other than you say so. We have seen the Saudis can, have never seen any proof the US can.
