Founder Of Reaganomics Says That "Without A Revolution, Americans Are History"

ZeroHedge ^

[Milhous]

The United States is running ran out of time to get its budget and trade deficits under control.

Ready or not the powers-that-be are getting a reality check regardless of whether they want one or not.

Too late for political solutions.

I was speaking strictly in terms of the national economy, not in regards to international non economic policies. I can see through his ant-Israel bias, and military bias just fine, and I don’t share his views in this regard. However, if we don’t make drastic changes and soon, this country will go off the cliff financially. Obama has done untold damage already, and he isn’t finished.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” In reality the answers are as simple (and painful) as they were from 1981-1983: choke the money supply; cut taxes (even more drastically now); and do something even Reagan didn’t do-—CUT THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT AT EVERY LEVEL, ACROSS THE BOARD. “

Correct, now who the hell do we have (currently breathing) with the understanding and the testicular fortitude to do this. I don’t think Tom Sowell, at age 80, is a player. ;-)

No. Tax incentives to keep jobs at home, tort reform, elimination of punitive EPA regulations, and a general attitude that American workers are, in fact, the consumers of our products will unleash a revitalization of domestic manufacturing that will lead us out of this economic disaster. A country that sends its raw materials abroad and allows other countries to add value is by definition a third world country. We are rapidly, beyond belief, heading in this direction. The trade imbalance we face is punitive and if a tariff on the disparity of wages is necessary to level the playing field, go for it. I had rather pay $10.00 more for an American made shirt than continue to send the “value added” dollars to China. We need to get past Smoot-Hawley and remember what Henry Ford did. One morning he walked into his factory and DOUBLED his workers wages. Critics asked, “what in the world are you doing?” He replied, “I figured if I doubled their wages, they could buy more of my cars!!”

America has the largest economy in the world; approximately three-times the size of the new #2 announced this morning with great fan-fare. All the pronouncements about the imminent demise of America seem overwrought and repeated by doom-and-gloomers who have been wrong as long as I have been alive. Putting folks back to work and growing the economy will happen under the correct political leadership. Every generation seems to need a Jimmy Carter lesson. The means of putting folks back to work and growing the economy is well known — unleash the small and mid-size businesses, i.e., lower their taxes and mandates, void regulation that force business to create forms and reports no one understands even if they bother to read it at all. Taking business out of the tax collection roll would alone send the GDP figures soaring so that the Chinese will never catch us.

When you’re surrounded, you can fire in any direction.

Yeah, I agree. But even then, when you hear so-called conservatives talk, they are still talking about “reducing the growth” of government. NO! We have to get people with the mindset that once and for all we are actually going to cut-—reduce the size-—of government, but within its constitutional framework. Therefore, if we need a strong military, no problem-—that’s what the constitution provides for. But it doesn’t provide for 99 weeks of “unemployment” welfare.

[FreeReign]

If the wars are not immediately stopped and the jobs brought back to America, the US is relegated to the trash bin of history.

Never mind the trillion dollar stimulus, Fannie and Freddie, government run health care, Medicare, Medicaid and all the rest of the unconstitutional bull crap the government spends its money on.

Unbelievable.

[FreeReign]

Roberts is off on a lot here. The “old” PCR got it. This guys simply hates Israel and apparently loves terrorists.

I don't know what his problem is, but yes he is off.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yes,they really aren’t conservatives, merely politicians. My post 23 asks who can lead us, and judging from the current crop, I have no idea.

"Violent reactions are exactly what “they” want. “They” will continue to provoke until one occurs, then watch the totalitarian crackdown...."

Exactly. Remember what Rahm said:

“Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste. They are opportunities to do big things.”

[JPJones]

Right!

The more I see examples of provocation, such as Pelosi et. al. marching thru Teapartiers just hoping and praying to be attacked, the more I see their strategy.

They want us to be violent and can’t stand our peacefulness (sp?). Just look at how the teapartiers (a bunch of little ole ladies) are portrayed....

[italybub]

But remember the US GNP now includes unproductive items such as lawyers fees, which only artificially inflates the true GNP.

[reasonisfaith]

“examples of provocation”

Agreed.

There are regular troll posters on this website who try to provoke real conservatives to violence.

[metesky]

I thought Paul Craig Roberts and InfoWars chit were banned here long ago.

[JPJones]

“There are regular troll posters on this website who try to provoke real conservatives to violence.”

Right. All this talk about a new revolution, buying up ammo, etc. plays right into the progressives hand.

It’s the hegelian dialectic unfolding against the witless white folk.

Acceptance is cowardice. Failure to revolt is cowardice.

Cowardice = death,

“Acceptance is cowardice. Failure to revolt is cowardice.

Cowardice = death,”

You don’t beat a drum when hunting a tiger.

[reasonisfaith]

Although frankly, I don’t think buying ammo is a problem at all. If all the ammo is in the hands of conservatives, violence will be minimized.

What I’ve noticed is the attempt to incite impulsive, irrational violence.
