I see. So the S&L crash was a good thing. And you question my ability to use logic?


You did suggest it, they definitely didn't hold the same opinions on economics but even if they had you still ignore the part where I said it worked for Reagan because it was what was needed at the time. Supply side and demand side are not mutually exclusive.

Actually, they are mutually exclusive. They don't exist together. It wasn't what was needed at the time...it was typical Republican supply side economics, and coupled with Reagan's easy money concept, it crashed the S&L industry.



I don't even know what to say to this. Clinton was partially responsible for our financial meltdown and Obama has overseen consistent 2% growth. You apparently have very low standards.

Yea....abuses of GLB, 10 years later is Clinton's fault?



Now we find out if you know what you're talking about. Why did Reagan think it was imperative to lower the top rate?

70% is rather steep...no? So you are in favor of 50% because you think it worked for Reagan?

By the way, I know people like you really like to put people in one of two boxes but I actually don't have a problem with public sector hiring if it's needed.

The topic is economic theories of the two parties. I'm discussing Republicans. If you don't agree with them, that's a good thing. The Right does not believe in public sector spending, but only when a Democrat is in the White House.

I'll answer all of these but before I do that I really would like your answer on the Reagan question, I want to see what you really know.

Why did Reagan think it was imperative to lower the top rate?
