People need some basic economic education and need to use their own common sense rather than be spoon fed by the media. Couple of Ayn Rand quotes: "Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. " "It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. " "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. " Thanks for the link JLP!

People need some basic economic education and need to use their own common sense rather than be spoon fed by the media.

Couple of Ayn Rand quotes:

“Government “help” to business is just as disastrous as government persecution… the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. ”

“It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. ”

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. “

Trickle down economics wasn't the problem. It was stupidity on the parts of those involved and the response of our government trying to bailout stupidity that are causing our problems. Finally, don't give Clinton a free ride on this deal. He was president when the economy started turning south. Bush didn't inherit the best of circumstances. John,

The trickle down economic policies started by Regan in 1980 have been a complete failure and have created an elite class of wealth and greed while leaving the rest of the population worse off.
