Fundamental change. Throw out the failed policies of the past 90 years (starting with the "New Deal") and move forward.

I'm not sure the new deal was failed/bad at the time.There were no Gov't safety nets in place at the time save some soup lines.No welfare,unemployment just the The WPA; renamed in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration was an employing millions of job-seekers to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads.Had to kick start the economy somehow

Have you ever had one of those days where you can't figure out whether you just don't feel like eating, or you feel like eating really unhealthily, but you know it'll be nothing in between?

Yes!   Heat can do that to me. 

Right, but it also came with a bunch of social progrums. The ones that are still failing today.

We cannot rely on government to fix today's problems. They will only make things worse. Todays problems need to be solved in the communities, by the people, for the people. I've seen it first hand. It works.

You see, that's the problem with Keynesianism.

Keynesianism says that when you hit an economic slowdown, the government should spend extra to smooth it. Then, when you have an economic boom period, the government should pull back spending and build up capital for the next slowdown.

The disciples of Keynesianism, on the other hand, use economic slowdowns as excuses to spend because Keynes said to prop up aggregate demand, and then when times are good (and tax receipts high) they spend even more because they have all that money burning a hole in their pocket. 

Not sure about that. Social Security and collective bargaining have hardly been failures.

SS is a major failure for those who would rather not have government "manage" their money (redistribute their income).


It's a tax. Call it what it is.


Income tax was a temporary measure. LMAO.


Give an inch. Take 12. Repeat.

One of my saddest days was when I went to the local SS office with my Ma, after my Dad passed.

(He (Big Jim) passed on that day that the USU kicker missed a field goal, allowing UW to win the game - some of you might recall.)


Anyhow, I went with my Ma, and it turned out she had to choose between taking his SS "benefits" or taking hers.


She chose his, as it was a little more. She asked the fat lady behind the counter "What will happen to MY money?"


The fat lady said "It goes poof, into the system." And the fat lady laughed. 

That same fat lady will get my Ma's money someday.
