The Demise of America July 2014
#14
RE: The Demise of America July 2014
I first started paying attention to politics in 1992, with the Bill Clinton campaign. Since then, the kind of economic talk I heard in the video has been pretty much what the Republicans have preached constantly. Back then, I remember them telling us how the election of Clinton and his financial policies would lead to the economic destruction like we had never seen before; yet the 90's had the best economic growth of my life. Yet the same people kept telling us that the election of Dubya and his financial policies would make the economy better, even while things seemed to keep getting worse and worse while he was in office, culminating in the 2008 crash.

So, it doesn't surprise me at all to hear the same people saying the same things now that there's a democrat in the oval office and companies are starting to hire again. Trust me, I know politics enough to know, they'll get their guy in there eventually and they'll be back to predicting sunny days while everyone else is lining up in unemployment lines.
