Republicans: legacy of failure
By VictorM: If you think that things are screwed up only because George Bush is an idiot, not because of conservative politics, you better think again. Let's take a little trip down memory lane, courtesy of Ken Layne:After just a year in office, the Reagan/Bush administration brought unemployment up to an astonishing 11% while interest rates topped 21%. More than 40 U.S. banks had collapsed by mid-1982, another post-Great Depression record. The steel and automobile industries began a decline from which they would never recover, and more than 17,000 U.S. businesses failed. Massive cuts in social services dumped more than a million homeless people on the streets, from poor people who lost their housing when HUD’s budget was slashed by two-thirds to the hopeless armies of the crazy forced out of federally-funded mental institutions.So no, our current problems aren't just because of the idiot president and the jerks he surrounds himself with. It's because conservative politics believes that a select few should get all the riches and all the power, and the rest of us are just are pawns to be used as needed. If you're not a millionaire and you vote Republican, you're either an idiot or you hate people who are not like yourself.
