    Corporate profits are at all time highs. Profit margins are at all time highs. There has not been a better President for big business ever. Yes O-care sucks dick but big business will get around it. Its the middle class people who will get fucked the most by it.

    The economy and financial system is in far worse shape then it was when Reagan came aboard. The only problem then was inflation and it was snuffed out by rate hikes and a bad recession. Reagen inherited a debt/gdp that declined sharply for 35 years. Thus, he was able to run big deficits no problem. Funny thing now is gov employment has been going down under Obama since the first few years. The deficit is also contracting.

    Theres no policy that can get the economy back on track. There is no quick fix. It took 20 years after 1929 for the economy & system to be cleaned, repaired etc. The coming big problem is that interest rates need to go higher. The private sector could handle it to some degree but the government sector cannot. If interest rates rise just a few %, the interest payments on the debt will explode. We are 5 years into an expansion and interest rates are at 0. This is the bizarro world. Huge inflation will get us through but its going to take at least 5 years and they have to let inflation run so the debt burden declines. This is what happened after WW II.

    Whoever becomes President after that (2020) will inherit an ideal situation, like Reagen did.

    I like to ignore the crippling double digit inflation that Reagan inherited. I do that.

    I also like to ignore that it took a World War to fix the economy after 1929. I also do that.
    WWII didn't fix the economy. Popular myth.

    It's the rebuilding of the countries you blew to shit using the treasures you plundered from VICTORY! that boosts an economy.

    No.
    So having the world's primary manufacturing base, writing the rules for expansion and controlling the supply and price of energy after WWII had nothing to do with growth?

    The war is not what ended the depression.

    So, what the fuck ended the depression? I've been waiting a day for the answer (too lazy to look it up).

    Ending Depressions isn't microwave popcorn.

    You have to bring your own guys in and you have to realize the guy before you did a fuck load of damage so there is never an easy fix.

    I'll give you Russia, but even the creep, along with everyone else with a mental pulse, called Iraq. Doesn't mean any of us should be the POTUS.

    Besides, cult members who actually believe that a bi-polar, 19th century charlatan tapped into universal truths on a mountain top need not apply.

    Remember, there is no half-way with the morms: you're in or you're out. i personally know a lot of them, and those who are in are believers in the word of Smitty. there's no fucking around with that crowd.
