It was such a crock that Roosevelt was re-elected 3 times with that as his signature policy accomplishment. Makes sense.MikeDamone said:
Disagree. The economy during the war was terrible. The golden age didn’t start until around 1950.PurpleThrobber said:
Fuck that.incremetal_progress said:
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.PurpleThrobber said:
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.incremetal_progress said: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...
correlation =/= causation.
The industrialization of America for WWII is what created the Golden Age, not any fucking New Deal.
Agree is wasn’t the disastrous New Deal. What a crock that was -
And when half the country is poor the sentiment becomes widespread.PurpleThrobber said:
Poor people like free shit. that's not difficult to understand.incremetal_progress said:

Disagree.MikeDamone said: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.
2002-2007 was definitely peak America.
Even idiots had money to spend. It was being thrown around

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
