How did Reagan get elected?

Lying and cheating.

ok, why did he get elected? You act like somebody told you the economy was great before Nov '79. How old were you then?

@WuWei

What do they want to change the system to?

Restore the New Deal, regulate capitalism, cut military spending, invest in We the People.

Neoliberalism is not conservative.

The Iran hostage crisis is what sealed the deal for Reagan. (which then led to Iran/Contra)
He also lied about supporting unions.

I was old enough to know what was going on.

I’m just letting big goverment left-wing radicalized Neo-Marxists know I see them.

Is there one in the room with you right now?

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

I want to write one about how Donald Trump still lives rent free in the lefts head.

Is it a sequel to one about H. Clinton still living rent free in the right’s head? Or Obama? Pretty sure both were brought up by the right quite a bit 6 months into Trump’s term too.

The “so-and-so is living rent free in _____ heads” is such a silly meme when aimed at someone who was in office less than a year ago. Administrations don’t exist in a vacuum. Old policies can still be in effect. Appointees from previous administrations might still be in office. And of course people are going to compare a current administration to the previous.

Obama, Hillary are so passé, stale city man! We’re on to Kamala the laziest VP in US history.

And the right will be complaining about her for at least a year after she’s no longer in office.

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.

The 90s didn’t help either.

Reaganomics has dominated the economic conversation ever since it took hold…through Democratic and Republican administrations alike.

No you weren’t. What was going on with the economy?

@WuWei

No, it is not. You simply have no idea what you’re prattling on about.

You had not even heard the term, until I brought it up months ago.

Nice try.

[JayJay]

Yep Reagan didn’t let that crisis go to waste.

And yet inflation was brought under control and the economy started to take off because of the Keynsian fiscal policy followed by Paul Volcker.

In fact, Reagan was almost a one term President because of Volcker’s harsh medicine and don’t think Reagan didn’t know that.

Reaganomics

What are the principles of “Reaganomics”?

Tax cuts and deregulation spur savings and investment.

Which they do…but not to the degree fiscal policy and Keynsian approaches do.

The problem with wither approach though is the lack of understanding that in general economic progress long term is growth and that these policies should only be used sparingly and transiently and are not the end all be all.

[WuWei]

I’m going to let that one slide. Don’t do it again. I didn’t call you a liar.

The economy was bad. That’s how Reagan got elected. How did it get bad and who did it?

Johnson. Nixon. Ford. Carter.

They all combined to do it.

Oh and US oil production peaking in 1970-71.

That is not neoliberalism. That is liberalism.
