The Nobel Prize winning economic journalist Paul Krugman in a June first NYT op ed piece headlined “Reagan Did It” puts the onus for today’s economic debacle on Ronald Reagan. This begs the question, is brother Paul recovering from BDS only to come down with RDS.
Bright guy that Krugman. He knows who his real opposition is. Bush is no hero to conservatives, Reagan is. Bush is gone, Reagan lives. He lives in the hearts of conservatives everywhere, from middle Americans who love their country and its heritage to Eastern Europeans who have suffered the ravages of Marxism, the very antithesis of Conservatism.
The Krug’s argument is Reagan signed a Bill into law whose primary sponsors were senators Gann (R), St Germain (D), Schumer (D) and Hoyer (D). The bill passed easily through a Democratic controlled House and Senate. Krugman is correct in concluding it was deregulatory and had unfavorable consequences. But for a bright guy like Krugman to say “the prime villains behind the mess we’re in were Reagan and his circle of advisors” is beyond ignorance. It is disingenuous and that is a relative compliment.
It is frustrating to see the damage Democratic leaders are doing to this country. It enrages me when they blame it on others.
PRAVDA
Did you catch the item in PRAVDA ? Google "American capitalism gone with a whimper".
Excerpts:
"like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxixm is happening with breath taking speed"
"the population was dumbed down through a politicized an subtandard system based on pop culture"
"their faith in God was destroyed", [their ministers joining the] "side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another"
"The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama"
There is an old expression, "From the mouths of babes .....", oft concluded, "comes the wisdom and wit of youth." Now from the Press of the once oppressed comes the wisdom of experience.
