America may be FUBAR, eventually, in some
25-50 years or so (deficits DO MATTER Dick Cheney!!).
But it will not likely be in my lifetime.
And the GOP more than owns their fair share (well over
half of the blame by my reckoning) for the sorry state
of our country (and union).
1st, the Grand Daddy of all tax breaks,
Reagan's Tax Breaks for the rich, which
(in today's dollars) would amount to 17 TRILLION USD
in tax breaks for the rich.
4-5 tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires
including Reagans, all carried out by GOP Presidents,
2001--Bush Sr. 8 Trillion in tax cuts for the rich.
2003--G Dubya 4.5 Trillion in tax cuts for the rich.
2017--Trump another 1.7 Trillion in tax cuts for the rich.
All of these added trillions more to the tax breaks for the nation's
wealthiest, while simultaneously (increasing) the tax burden
upon the Middle Class.
Reduction of Federally Subsidized Loans and the marked Increase
in predatory Private Bank Loans has also helped to GUT the Middle
Class, both in the Student Loan department, and in the Housing
Market. All of which were voted out (federally subsidized) and voted
IN (Private Equity/Predatory Loans) by the GOP.
So the GOP, you see, has absolutely NOTHING TO SAY when it comes to
talking about WHO ruined America. They have earned more than their
share of righteous scorn.
Commoncents....go fornicate yourself (repeatedly) with a rusty pitchfork...
Signed, America.
