Lol I also heard she’s one heck of an interior decorator but her talents stop there.

So Reagan and cons basically blowing up the New Deal in the 80’s, which basically continued into the 2000’s, including Clinton…had nothing to do with it?

You mean Reagan is responsible for fall of Soviet Union and new world order?

When FDR proposed the New Deal…Republicans called him a socialist as well.

And he was.

Libs today are far worst.

The fall of the Soviet Union was an effect, not a cause.

The overly-excessive deregulation on the flow of capital that started in the 1980s is at the heart of almost every financial difficulty we have faced since.

The “new world order” doesn’t happen without that foundation being laid.

100 years from now, US citizens will be thinking wth we’re we thinking in regards to prioritizing things in our country.

We were discussing the economy. Blowing up the New Deal had more to do with the economy becoming more of an oligarchy, then what is/was going on in China or Russia.

In the last 50 years the few have controlled the many economically, regardless of party, politicians pick winners and losers based upon campaign contributions. Lobbyists have destroyed this country.

Yes, I know…cons hate the New Deal. They have even created BS stories to try and discredit the multiple successes it fostered. Hell, there are multiple think tanks funded by the ultra wealthy to push that agenda…

Sadly…it worked. You should be happy. The billionaires are in charge. On both sides of the aisle.

This is precisely correct.

Oligarchy.

Both D and R.

The oligarchs even seized control of the populist impulse after the 2008 crash and maintain control of it. Truly an amazing accomplishment.

Do you support those that want to reduce the influence of money on politics?

There are many progressive movements that want to do just that…so congress can represent all of the people, not just the well connected, wealthy ones.

Only a political hack would think that.

So fall of Soviet Union and shipping jobs over to China had nothing to do with fall of middle class?

Jobs couldn’t just “be shipped over to China” without the foundation being laid in the 1980s.

They aren’t genuine about it because they themselves strive to get rich, no politician is really serious about rooting out this issue. Pelosi stands to make millions off legislation about to be passed. Tom Tillis did the same thing. Politicians just move the needle of who is corrupt. First it’s the millionaires, then when they themselves become a millionaire it’s the billionaires who are corrupt. This is a game that will long survive our existence.

The 90s didn’t help either.

Shipping jobs over to China, is a conservative economic idea. Both democrats and republicans supported that.

Started with Nixon, caught fire with Reagan, W Bush put it on steroids. With the help from conservative, DLC type democrats…including Clinton.

How did the fall of the soviet union effect our economy?

I want to write a parody children’s book about scary Marxists hiding under the bed.

No, it didn’t start with Nixon, Nixon opened talks, Carter opened trade.
