Firsthing posted on Drudge this morning was the “Great One’s” face and statement that it’ll be years to turn the economy around, not months! This is exactly what Rush has been stating that O is setting up the “failure” early so that he can continue blaming Pres. Bush and his anti-stimulus plan opponents the REPUBLICAN PARTY!!

Firsthing posted on Drudge this morning was the “Great One’s” face and statement that it’ll be years to turn the economy around, not months!

If the economy is in trouble longer than 5-11 months, then it is being kept in trouble. When Adam Smith abolished the punitive tax structure in Great Britain, the economy quickly revived and had a bull market for the next 100 years. The Mellon tax cuts and the Kennedy tax cuts quickly revived the economy (that is, they cut back the parasitic load the government was to the economy). The United States was in a bad spot for years under Carter because of government policies. When Reagan was able to get his tax revisions put through, the economy turned around very, very quickly. Thanks to a-holes like Tip O'Neill and fellow Democrats, it had to be strung out. If he hadn't had to wait for 3 years for it to be fully implemented, the recovery would have been faster and bigger. Rot in hell, Tip, and all you people who look at the government as a way to advance your careers and massage your sense of self-importance by the degree to which you can screw over all those subject to your legislative whims.

As Reagan said, 'The government isn't the solution, the government is the problem."

Something else he said that reminds me of Barry Soetoro-Obama: "The government's view of the economy can be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
