So. Who here still thinks that the USA will EVER be back where it was in the 'economically on-fire' era of Bush's early reign?

If we are honest we must face a very dark and sobering fact: The outcome of this war is far from certain. We are proud of being a nation of can-do optimists, but we are also a nation in denial about a culture in a tailspin.
and thought I might bump this one
I think much of the 'fall' came in the 70s, things changed in America...Democrats were no longer like JFK or FDR but instead became regressive liberals like Chomsky, Moore and Carter
Nixon he had a clever foreign policy but he took America away from the Gold Standard - huge mistake, this corruption would later lead to endless Petrodollar Arabia Islamo Wars of Iraq, Libya....you name it, the mess keeps growing
The latest mess, I wasn't always a fan of Clinton but at least he had some kind of foreign policy, and created an economy - ok it was a tech bubble, a fake dot-com bubble but at least that economy existed, Bush Jnr and Obama have really only played parts in sinking America deeper into debt
The USA can come back
but huge changes might be needed in the Congress, the Senate and the US political system. I would like to see someone like Webb or Ron Paul or some independent thinker push America ahead again, what is happening now just ain't working
Bush Jnr broke the debt clock in NYC, another digit needed to be added the broken clock,
Durst Organization in New York reached its limits. The national debt exceeded $10 trillion for the first time under Bush Jnr, the clock ran out of digits to record the number.
Obama's policy made the debts even worse
The idea for the clock came from New York real estate developer Seymour Durst, who wanted to highlight the rising national debt. In 1989, he sponsored the installation of the first clock, which was originally placed on Sixth Avenue—between 42nd Street and 43rd Street—one block away from Times Square. At the time, the national debt remained under $3 trillion but was rising. The clock was temporarily switched off from 2000 to 2002 due to the debt actually falling during that period.

Whenever we return to Reaganomics, the proven template for juggernaut economy, we'll be back.

Never.
I know "never" is a really long time, but ... never. It was an historic moment, never to be repeated.
And trying to recreate the past will lead to great errors.
All we can do is move forward, despite uncertainty and doubt.

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.
