91. More on the Rpublican Presidents
The last twenty years of republican presidents [Ronald Reagan (1981-1989), George Bush (1989-1993), and George W. Bush (2001-2009)] was really a period of 'no development of infrastructures for the people of the USA. Instead, this 20-year period would develop mostly new infrastructures for supply-side economists. The important new infrastructures are as follows: (1) to increase free world trade by new laws; (2) to increase oil supplies from Iraq by a war, (3) decrease drug sales from Afghanistan by a war, and (4) increase the number of high income earners from 1% to 2 %. During the same period, 90 % of the poor people must have changed to to 89%.` But the number of food stamp users was increasing since 1969 when astronauts landed on the moon. In 1969 the users was only 3 million. Then, the users went to 21 million in 1980 when Reagan went into the White House. Then, the users went to 44 million by 2011.
So, the Republicans must talk to President Obama about taxing the high income earners. And Congress must change the U.S. economy.and the life of all Americans.

George,
Taxing the wealthy might make you feel better but it won't accomplish anything. The proposed tax increases would only fund the government for eight days. Where are you going to get the funds for the other 357 days?
The only way to affect the debt and deficit is to drastically reduce spending. If government was to grow at the rate of inflation (3%) for ten years the deficit could be eliminated. The government currently grows at 8-9% and that is quickly becoming unsustainable. Right now our debt and deficit, not to mention odious regulations and an antiquated tax structure is strangling private business and that in turn is keeping economic growth at anemic levels.

Hi David,
My post today might give the republicans some ideas on the debt and unembloyment problem. The reduction of government is not the answer.

Sorry George but I think it is precisely the answer. Look at government spending levels of the past and the distribution of wealth and you will see there was far more parity when taxes were lower and the government role much less

Hi David,
The movement of the human mind, not the government, makes government move into the future. Government should never be reduced when employees are moving the USA into the future. The Republicans want to work only in corporations rather than in government. Yet when JFK sent us to the moon, many good people left corporations to do the job.
The public and private sectors are not working together. President Obama wants to work together. Bur republicans do not. This evidence was sensed on the Internet. Republicans were filling our computers with too many negatives about Obama..

I believe in public/private partnerships but both sides (labor/ management) have become too polarized. Obama wants to work in the private sector but only to promote himself and strengthen his party politically.

Hi David,
I do not like any person who promotes himself of herself. The 'equality of man' is the real follower of God.
