    Say what you want about Ike, he gave the most prescient warning to the American people he possibly could have

    And he managed the greatest invasion in history

    Terrible alternatives? Two ultimate moderate republicans versus a marxist incompetent black liberation theory AA candidate? barry believed that we couldn't drill our way to energy independence and that we could keep our doctor and plan. Energy and medical,m two of the biggest components of the American economy and barry had it incredibly wrong. Work the balls.

    Hint - he didnt actually believe those things. He just hates america. Part of his jihad.

    the Eisenhower days.

    90% tax rates and the strongest middle class in American history.

    Granted it still wasn't so good for Blacks, but still...

    Except it was Ike who sent the Federal troops into Little Rock Central HS when the Democratic governor of Arkansas refused to educate black children.


    Ike wasn't necessarily the best president, he just governed during the best time. Combine FDR's new deal framework with the post war economic boom and you have a golden age.

    correlation =/= causation.
    Fuck that.

    The industrialization of America for WWII is what created the Golden Age, not any fucking New Deal.


    Disagree. The economy during the war was terrible. The golden age didn’t start until around 1950.

    Agree is wasn’t the disastrous New Deal. What a crock that was
    It was such a crock that Roosevelt was re-elected 3 times with that as his signature policy accomplishment. Makes sense.
    People being stupid doesn't prove the policy was good. If a president gave everyone a million dollars (Like Bloomberg could) and was elected 5 times does this mean it was a good policy? No. It means people are like hamsters and will keep taking hits off the sugar water as long as they can

    We? just started calling in all the receivables after the war. In the cash flow cycle, you gots to spend money to make money.
    That's not what lead the golden age though

    Enacting policy that people who elected you to represent them actually like?
    What a travesty....

    Poor people like free shit. that's not difficult to understand.

    And when half the country is poor the sentiment becomes widespread.

    Because we are clearly on the downward slope. I’m thinking 1985 or 1986 . Peace and prosperity. Economy doing well. Leftists hadn't yet realized racial issues needed to be re stoked. The Carter gloom was lifted. The american dream was alive and well with 18-25 year olds. You could still smoke on airplanes.

    Now it’s hide in your basement, hammer a government check, and don’t come out until a generic lawyer tells you to.

    Disagree.


    2002-2007 was definitely peak America.

    Even idiots had money to spend. It was being thrown around

    Bro. We got free porn.
    Good point. Back then I had to find it on the side of the road by chance.
    We had Playboy cave up on the 5 mile hill in Spokane when I was a young lad.

    Give me 1991.

    Nevermind, Ten, and Badmotorfinger all in the same year, Dirt to follow in 1992. Plus Seinfeld in year 3 and gaining steam.

    For Doogs who need a nudge, Kenny Wheaton was still 3 years away from inventing modern American football, and only the corrupt fake news MSM didn't think you were national champions.

    2005-2007; basically post-Iraq war and pre-Recession. We has a perceived good economy, the golden age of the internet, no social media, retail hasn’t been murdered yet, and we had most all of the other modern technology like cell phones/MP3 players/DVR/etc. And internet porn
