If you want to narrow what caused the issue, we could probably bring it all back to this dude
Milton Friedman. He was an economist with what was considered some pretty fringe ideas at the time, he basically championed the concept of “supply side economics”. This is the economic theory better known as “trickle-down economics”. Basically, the idea that you cut taxes, regulation and government spending and like magic, everything will thrive!
Milton didn’t have a lot of fans, but he had one huge fan, Ronnie Reagan.
This chap was a Hollywood actor, turned GE corporate shill after his Hollywood career had dried up. He later became the governor of California and then the President of the United States. As a corporate stooge and let’s face it, not the sharpest tool in the shed, he thought that the ideas espoused by Milton were freaking brilliant!
As President old Ronnie decided that what the US needed was tax cuts, lots and lots of tax cuts and that’s what he got, as well as a huge deficit. Welcome to the era of financially irresponsible Republicans. Ronnie, bless his heart, truly believed that embracing supply side economics would lead to a balanced budget, better economy, higher wages and for every child to have a magical pony…well, the last part I made up, but it’s just as magical thinking. For what it’s worth, Ronnie’s wife Nancy, was known to visit Astrologers, so there’s that.
A few important things happened under Ronnie, he cut regulations, including those pesky ones that made it extremely difficult for corporations to do stock buybacks as it was seen as price manipulation, and he lowered tax rates like a LOT. This created incentive for companies to squeeze every tiny bit of profit out of the company, since it was being taxed at a lower rate and allowed them to manipulate stock price by doing large buybacks.
Now enter this dude…
Jack Welch (aka Neutron Jack). Jack was once affectionately known as America’s CEO, ironic considering that during his tenure he eliminated over 100,000 American jobs. Not because the economy was bad, but because he eliminated their jobs altogether, he wasn’t called Neutron Jack for nothing. Jack was a Republican, he really liked Ronnie, he also really liked Trump.
Jack decided that GE being one the largest companies in the world just wasn’t enough, he had a big appetite, and it was insatiable. What Jack ended up doing was spending 20 years cooking the books of GE, buying out companies and then consolidating them into GE and firing tons of people, shutting down tons of factories and firing those people as well. He just LOVED firing people.
What one must remember about this era in American business is that GE was the undisputed leader. If GE did something, everyone else followed. What Jack realized was that these pesky American workers who wanted a livable wage and safe work environment were just too bloody expensive, so he started shutting down factories left and right and having things made overseas where things like human rights aren’t really a thing. Eventually this would culminate in GE basically getting out of manufacturing altogether and just licensing their name to foreign companies.
Basically, what led to the outsourcing of American industry were the incentives created under Reagan to do so. If stock price is everything, then juicing the profits are top priority. If you can build products overseas for pennies on the dollar and the US government is singing the praises of free trade, then guess what? Screw the American worker, let’s cut 10,000 jobs so that we can make more on those washing machines! It worked brilliantly, American after American saw their jobs go overseas, the companies became more profitable than ever, they used those low taxed profits to buy back huge amounts of shares, their stock prices soared and supply side economics did what supply side economics does.
In conclusion, supply side economics did not lower the deficit, did not create a better economy or higher wages or give every child a magic pony. It did create a nutty stock market that has become a game of price manipulations with far too few regulations. It did wreak havoc on American manufacturing. It did screw over America’s heartland. It was a Republican idea and sadly even now, many Democrats still subscribe to a version of this.
It wasn’t regulation that caused this to happen, it was removing regulation that allowed this to happen on top of cutting taxes and this silly idea that the free market will magically do what is best. Just like before, the people that would be screwed over the worst by the politician’s policies vote for the politician. It happened under Reagan and it’s happening again under Trump. This is all very well known, but so few of the American electorate have a freaking clue. They are still buying the tired argument from the 1980’s despite having seen it fail for the past 40 years.
This is the direct result of supply side economics, Morning in America indeed. Enjoy it my fellow Americans because you voted for it when you voted for Reagan, and you voted for it again when you voted for Trump.

imagine in today's world that you would be denied a job, which you are qualified for, because of you skin color. That is DEI. The lunatic Left can throw out all the racist and misogyny comments all they want but it won't take away from teh facts. They don't care though, so they will keep trying.
Hopefully things are turning around with several companies now stopping the DEI nonsense. I am hopeful.
When I board a plane, I couldn't give a fukk whether what color skin or anything else the pilot is. I just want a competent pilot who passed all the requirements to earn his or her wings and not wonder if this particular pilot got is in the cockpit of the plane I am flying on is there only because standards were lowered in order to hire more diverse people. If that make me racist to some people, then fukk those people. They are morons.Last edited by DwightShrute; 12-19-24, 12:32 AM.Leave a comment:

DEI is resoundingly unpopular as evidenced by the majority of voters in our most recent election.
Now the losers claim that the election was the result of misogyny and racism.
Actually, Americans are fed up with identity politics and are ready to have a functioning country with actual borders
and advancement by meritocracy.Leave a comment:

Round and Round the Mulberry Bush.!
Whatever.
But we all know what the majority of Americans feel... Especially after 4 years of Biden. A President who will go down in history as the ''worst president to every live at the white house. ?

''Biden/Obama administration attacked anyone and everyone who disagreed with them.''
Obama 2nd Term ended 8 years ago. I would have to look up who he attacked.
Depending on what you mean by attacked, GOP house members are masters at attacking people. A good example is, Jim Jordon attacking officials in NY for the crime in their city. When every major city in his state, had numbers, worse than NY. But he was going to NY to straighten them out.
''You mean people who watch CNN and CNBC will believe anything.?. How about that Russian Collusion you now ignore. The Laptop.?''
Yes of course, a lot of people that watch those news stations will, but you left out Fox.
Russia Collusion- I cannot forget because yall keep bring it up so much. I don't know why, because it just proves that Trump was dirty. Not because of a mostly made-up paper some Birt. wrote. It is because his associates that went to jail for it. Not a judge or jury decided that they were guilty, they plead guilty. Straight from the horse's mouth. Their own. The laptop was personal property, that the FBI illegally opened. Now tell me how honorable you think the FBI is. This will be good if you answer.
''If you don't defend CNN. I believe you may suffer from TDS. Remember that disease.?. It's still around and it's not from China.'
It doesn't exist where I'm from. What do you call. Would not believe a fact if it ran over you like a semi-truck. If it's not part of what your leaders tell you. Because they are perfect in your eyes.
''You may not have called Trump those things. But you sure support those who have/do. It's the same thing. Like a ''slight of hand'' you use the words of others to say what you feel. Then deny, deny deny, then lie, lie, lie. The Democrat mantra.''
What I say about Trump, has not changed in 30 years. Lying, cheating, immoral POS. You can add felon now. I'm still not sure about the ones you said, but these 100%
''To whom does your opinion matter. You are a leftist. Anything you say will be held against you..''
If being myself and being straight forward, calling out untruthful post, makes me a leftist then I'm a leftist.
''Obama; insignificant'' -that's all you had to say.Leave a comment:

Yes it is. Even better that their little boy that cried wolf tactics are falling on deaf ears now and nobody really wants to hear anything they have to say. I think this will last for quite awhile(years) after they went full retard on us. They made their bed, now they can lay in it. Good riddance!!

I used to watch CNN. I didn't agree very often with what their opinion hosts said but to confirm what I believed was correct. Its like watching a really shitty sports team after watching a really good one win multiple championships. Then I couldn't watch then anymore because of all the continuous lies, fabricated stories and the race baiting. That's how pathetic they've become. Its not just me, they are experiencing their lowest ratings in 30 years. Later, I even said that to you can still watch CNN sometimes for things like when there is a flood or hurricane etc. Didn't take long before even that was a lie. Remember Anderson Cooper pretending he was in deep water or the chick on the canoe?
I gave up these dushbags. They are too far gone to be given any credibility. They sold out their integrity for a buck. Fox New has 3X the viewers as CNN and MSNBC put together.
I will watch Gutfeld the following day on Rumble commercial free when I get a few minutes. He's a brilliant writer and is really funny. The rest of the sound bites I get from a whole bunch of clips on X.
Really smart people have their own shows on social media and many get more eyeballs that the MSM do. They aren't subject to censorship for the most part, especially when they are on Rumble. Some stream only part their shows on YouTube because they YouTube will demonetize or cancel you if you say something they disagree with, and then tell their viewers to switch over to Rumble to hear more. LOL. How's that for free speech. LOL. That is what happens when a company like YouTube gets so big. Thankfully Rumble came to be. Bongino was kicked off YouTube for saying masks don't work.
Do yourself a favor. Delete CNN and MSNBC from your remote. Your brain will thank you. Its like quitting drugs or alcohol. It might not be easy at first but soon you will see the changes.
You will start telling the truth and stop repeating the lies. The more you tell the truth the stronger you will become, and you can feel the change happening inside. It's working. You will feel it. In the same way lying (and crappy behavior) makes you weaker. Telling the truth makes you stronger. It's like a superpower. Other people can see it. They will notice it. The people who tell the truth are strong. Other people respect the strong. If you consistently tell the truth, others will back off. Because liars are weak. They will block you. Unfriend you. Uninvite you to Thanksgiving. They are weak and afraid.
Add Megyn Kelly, Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson, and Piers Morgan to your life if you want to hear what's really going in in the world of politics. There's no rush get in a talking point and sound bite in the 8 minutes before another commercial break. They have guests on for much longer than that. Real journalism. Sprinkle in a little Joe Rogan and Charlie Kirk every so often, and you will be better informed on just about everything. The MSM is almost dead. They are eating your brain. They need dumb people watching in order to survive. So many have left them that they are dying. The truth will always prevail. It has to or we are all doomed.

dude, its not even close. I don't watch Fox much anymore. Not because they are fake news like CNN and MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, WAPO, NY Times etc., but because of the format gets tedious with so many commercials. Like I have said before, ever since news went 24/7, it's more of an entertainment channel than a new network. Having said that, there are huge differences between FOX news and the fake news sites I mentioned. Fox is filled with smart decent people for the most part. The others are filled with race baitors and those who have set aside their journalism ethics and now are committed to deception and the democratic party. I mean how does Joy Reid have a show? Brian Stelter? Jim Acosta? Morning Joe? Al Sharpton? Losers and liars.
Other than the format which all cable news outlets embrace, there are many reasons for someone to tune into Fox. There is no reason to tune into CNN or MSNBC. Absolutely none. Unless you like being lied to I guess. Apparently you do.Leave a comment:
