Reaganesque Unemployment
Unemployment is now 10.2%. That's still more than half a point better than the incredible 10.8% Reagan managed to reach by the end of the second year of his presidency, but it's a whole lot worse than we'd become accustomed to in the last couple decades.... and predictions are that it'll get still worse -- topping out around 10.5%. Will we wind up ...

Re: Smelly hippies and Reagan
hursttool: It sound like you have personal experience with smoking the skunk weed, you have all the terminology down. And that would explain why you had to read it twice because your short term memory is shot. Please learn your grammar, ''YOUR SMOKING'' should be ''YOU'RE SMOKING.'' And dear Orwellian revisionist lap dog, you apparently took leave ...

New Presidential Rankings: Why Is Reagan Number 10?
Today C-SPAN reported the latest rankings of the greatest to worst presidents, i.e., number 1 through number 43. This was the first year to include George W. Bush after his term ended. Much of the attention was directed at his initial historical ranking as number 36. To the dismay of many, George W. Bush's placement as 36th out of 43rd, was a ...

A Question :)
The essence of Reaganomics is low tax rates. As long as federal income tax rates remain at 50% or lower, Reaganomics is in effect. Since Reagan, has the top federal income tax rates ever been raised above 50%?

Re: Reagan's "place in history"
Michael accidently told the truth! LOL! Of course the American people remember President Reagan fondly. As for Reaganomics, Biden has assured the American people that Obama will leave federal income tax rates lower than the those during most of Reagan's term. Good!

Re: Reagan's "place in history"
Thanks to Reaganomics, (federal income tax rates below 50%) our productivity and economy has grown so much that we pay less and less as a percentage of tax revenue each year. I believe it had fallen to below 4% in 2007. Thank God for Ronald Reagan. :)

Re: Seriously George, who do you think you're fooling, but...
We have lived under Reaganomics since the first tax cuts took place in the early 1980's, and Obama has NO intentions of changing that. We will NEVER repeal Reaganomics, that is, go back to marginal federal income tax rates of 70%. Because of Reaganomics, our economy is still the envy of the world, and each decade under Reaganomics has seen ...

Palin the maverick
She's the Republican's answer to Hillary - and I think if the Republicans feel that McCain doesn't have a chance this time around, why waste Palin on a campaign that isn't going anywhere, anyways? She might as well distance herself - or at least give the appearance of distancing herself, so McCain's campaign can go after what would have been ...
