Why Do Democrats Wreck the Economy?

Remember the Sixties? Our Democratic friends gave us guns and butter: a war in Vietnam to stop a domino falling in the Cold War and LBJ’s Great Society eye-watering spending on welfare, Medicare, and Medicaid. In 1968 Americans had had enough and elected Richard Nixon as president. Nixon and Kissinger created an opening to China and ended the Vietnam war.

Remember the Seventies? After deep-sixing Richard Nixon, our Democratic friends gave us stagflation in the late 1970s: in other words, a stagnant economy plus eye-watering inflation. In 1980 Americans had had enough and elected Ronald Reagan as president. Reagan killed inflation with eye-watering interest rates, lowered marginal tax rates, and ignited a decade of eye-watering economic growth.

How about those 2020s? Our Democratic friends under the leadership of sharp-as-a-tack President Biden declared war on COVID and on climate with eye-watering spending, and now the economy is mired in stagflation again. In 2024 Americans have had enough and elected….

Stay tuned for the exciting election results on the evening of November 5, 2024.

But how do we understand all this? Why do our Democratic friends keep wrecking the economy?

It all comes down to the binary of gifting your supporters and going to war against the enemy. So every Democratic administration decides to throw more money at free health care and maybe start a war.

It’s odd how often our Democratic friends start a war right after a presidential election: Woodrow Wilson in 1917, FDR in 1941, Harry Truman in 1950. And LBJ waited until 1965 to really crank up the Vietnam war.

Why Do Democrats Wreck the Economy?

Their socialist/marxist policies don't mesh well with a free market economy.

It's an old Leftist strategy to cause a problem, then run on a platform to fix it, then make it worse, then claim they are the only ones who can fix it, while blaming their opposition for it all.
Why? Votes, power and money of course.

There are two parts to the answer of why Democrats always wreck the economy. The first part is what we've mostly seen which is the set of bad policies, incompetent bureaucrats and economists, and stupid or selfish supporters. The second part, and the real reason, is the cabal behind pushing the first part because they know it inevitably leads to people clamoring for a better way/fairness/new ideas. In other words, the fundamental transformation that it took until 2008 to be said openly.

Since that day in July 2008, we have seen a concerted campaign of devaluing every institution in our society because when a society's institutions are devalued, it's easier to replace them with new institutions. So whether it's elections, sports, patriotism, science, or, of course, gender, you're looking at an institution of American society that has been compromised and people increasingly dismissing.

That's why Democrats wreck the economy and we ignore its true intent at our peril.

The next 9/11-esque attack on American Soil is going to be a doozy. The groundwork has been laid by the Socialist Democrats with their open border ‘policies’ and I’m thinking it’s a ‘GO!’ if President in Exile Trump is elected this November.

I usually insert, ‘Plan accordingly’ right here, but who can plan for THAT?

We have absolutely NO help from the Quisling ‘republicans.’ None. One side actively WORKS to destroy America and replace it with Socialism while the other side looks away.

‘We The People’ are on our own. :(

Poor people are the easiest to control if they don’t obey Stalin tactics.

Oh don't worry. They'll start a war to fix it.
