If my calculator is broken maybe you can do the math and show us where this new Jesus will be our savior... I personally believe most of the right wingnuts here have a tough time seeing the real world because they have their head so far up their Mohammad's backside they haven't seen daylight since he started this ruination of our great country in the 80's.
I was in business during Carters presidency and we have a catalog of our products and inflation was so rampant we could not print catalogs fast enough we had to send out letters telling them to mark up there price by a certain %. We were sending these adders about every three or four weeks it was terrible. When Reagan was president it all changed for the better, no one thought we would see single digit interest rates but in about two years interest dropped to 7% and these were some of the best times for Americans. The reason his spending was so high he had to invest heavily in our military that was in a very weaken state. I do not have a problem with building up our military. Again I lived through this time period and i am reflecting how terrible it was under the Carter administration and how downtrodden everyone was and how Reagan turned it around and how he started the greatest recovery of all time. You can add to the debt when you add as much as he did to the GDP. Again you can look at the numbers and make them twist them, you can find economist that share your feelings. I am going strictly on my living through these times and how much better off everyone was under Reagan.
