The economy works in natural cycles of growth and contraction. During the presidential election of 04 my biggest fear was that if Lurch got elected he would take credit for the growth spawned by the tax cuts 3 years before.

Unfortunately, most Americans don’t understand the economy. To them a recession is when your neighbor is out of work and a depression is when they are out of work. Can’t say I blame them...all politics are local.

Hillary’s Communism has already been tried in North Korea, Cuba, USSR and NY...and it failed every time. Communism sounds good in theory when you read Marx and Engels. It just doesn’t work.

“The economy works in natural cycles of growth and contraction.”

The only natural cycle that the economy experiences is the annual change of seasons.

I don’t consider the ebb and flow of government policies that affect business to be governed by any sort of natural cycle. It isn’t inevitable that a period of prudent policy will be followed by a time of stupidity. Conversely, the chronically poor economies of the world can stay bad forever if people there never get a clue.
