The 20th Century economic boom didn't begin in 1983, no matter what you all keep telling yourselves. Biden is proposing a return to what became mainstream economics from 1933 through about 1979, a period that saw reasonably prosperous and and large middle class arise in this country and elsewhere.
Of course, Gasbag seems to think that was Marxism.
Biden is pandering to the lowest denominator (that's you) with the usual class envy bullshit.
But here is your chance to line out what he is (isn't) proposing that will take us back to the halcyon days of Jim Crow
I was alive in 1979 and reasonably prosperous was a term you didn't hear. At all
I envy myself and that's why I support me and others like me paying "confiscatory" taxes.
I don't recall saying that we had a perfect society during or after WWII. I said the groundwork had been laid and our tax and spending policies continued to largely encourage the growth of a prosperous middle class.
And regardless of what people said and what challenges we faced in 1979 (inflation, stagflation, etc.), there is a vast body of economic data to support the proposition that the shrinking of the middle class--or at least its share of the economy--begins in the 1980s and has continued unabated.
Please stop trying to be rich on a college football board. NO ONE CARES!
Are you a child? Look at me, look at me, look at me!!!
We spent about 5% of our GDP in 1948 on the entire Marshall plan. We currently spend over 12% of our current GDP every year on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. That's doesn't even take into account the money we already spend on Welfare. So why don't we already have that widespread prosperity you claim only happens with government raising taxes and spending Dazzler?
How is providing people with government paid for daycare centers going to increase prosperity? The same neighborhoods that have government paid for shitty schools will have government paid for shitty daycare centers and the only thing we will have achieved is taking billions of dollars and lighting it on fucking fire.
I've been telling you for years that as soon as you present a plausible scenario of the electorate voting to cut their own entitlements, you'll be making a solid case for reducing, or at least not increasing taxes. But here in reality, the only question is when taxes will rise. Sooner would be better. The GOP's credit card approach to spending isn't sustainable.
And besides, there are additional things people want from their government besides paying social security to old fuckers.
Weird because Biden and the Rats you vote are currently adding more to the "credit card" than at any other time in our post-war history and you don't seem to have any fucking problem with it. Btw, love the way how you just dodged your bullshit about government spending and tax policies are what created the post war prosperity.
Tell us how giving "free" daycare is going to create greater prosperity Dazzler?
Joe's proposing to pay for it. So other than that, fabulous point!
We've got a demographic problem. I think we'd better wise up and start providing a lot of benies to people of child rearing age. (We could steal that idea from China! They have the same problem and they're addressing it.)
The USA doesn't have a demographic problem. China definitely does. And it's their own fault. The USA will be just fine, thanks to our superior economic system that certain people want to destroy, and to our horrible racist immigration system that allows nearly anyone to come here.
Total population isn't the issue. We have old fuckers coming out our ears.
What about kids?
You were just saying I think we'd better wise up and start providing a lot of benies to people of child rearing age. I disagree.
Not sure where we're missing each other.
Twenty and thirty somethings in the US aren't having many kids. Population growth has been slowing way down. That's a problem. I suspect that has a lot to do with the costs and burdens of child rearing. I'm told people respond to incentives.
The fact we don't have as much a problem as China does is not that comforting.
My kids debate whether they want to bring kids in to this shitty world when all they've heard since Middle School is how awful their country and society are, how doomed they are by climate change and environmental destruction, and how fucked they are if they aren't BIPOC in the decades to come.
Congrats @HHusky: You and your fucking liberal friends have destroyed adolescence for the best and brightest kids, leaving only the stupid and economically disadvantaged to want kids because it brings them more free shit.

You dream of an ugly woman studies major and you in handcuffs and a ball gag and her girlfriend putting on a strap on? It's a free country, but I have to let you know that's not normal. You are the one with the high flying way alternative lifestyle.
Soo dumb and servile to the party. But please continue my single-minded culture warrior extraordinaire.
