| Elect Jimmy Carter to Office | Or elect Ronald Regan to Office |
| Lets see Under Jimmy
Carter... The interest rates on Home loans climb to 21% for home loans and car loans. Income taxes went threw the roof. We had gas shortages and he decided to make everyone in the country drive at 55 miles per hour. Good for cops and courts because they would pull everyone over even if going 1 mile over a new income stream. It turns out that driving 50-55 miles and hour is only good if your drive with your windows open, if you drive with air conditioning on the best millage is at higher speeds. The consequences of driving slow. The economy was made slower than it should have been. It took more time to get goods to market. People stopped traveling because it was added hours to long drives. Think about it the speed limits where 65 on country roads and 75 on most highways. We went from 75-55 on the highways used for commerce and travel. That equates into traffic moving approximately 26.5% slower. percentage of Gas saving nationwide 5.55 at most. Amount of loss to the manufacturing base same time over 21%, percentage of people that lost there jobs during the same time over 21% I almost forgot he ended subsidies for Diesel fuel causing almost all independent truckers to go bankrupt and lose there rigs over night. Workers all over the country lost there jobs to foreign companies. America lost our industrial base overnight. The word recession became a part of the American lexicon.. Fascist Islamic fundamentalist came to power in Iran and held 52 Americans hostage, it along with The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was the beginning of the seeds of Jihad against the USA. The Saudi's became rich and OPEC dictated oil production and terms to the free world. Our military was being gutted. He increased the size of federal government while shrinking the tax base and economy thus increasing the federal deficit to the highest it had ever been. Lets not forget 9-11 was a product of Bill Clinton's Administrations failure to de diligent! |
Lets see under Ronald
Regan.... The Iranian hostages were released the day before he came to office. Gas shortages stopped and the prices of gasoline stabilized. Trickle down economics letting the rich invest and companies have tax breaks created jobs and invigorated the economy. In 1986 he overhauled of the income tax code, which eliminated many deductions and exempted millions of people with low incomes. Interest rates started to fall. We pursued star wars and other weapons programs including the peace keeper missile program. Also the Abrams tank program and the Humvee and new nuclear attack submarines and the sheath fighter and bomber programs. The soviet union realized that it did not have the means or money to keep up with or programs and pleaded for disarmament. They also where having setbacks after a long period of victories in Afghanistan using helicopter gunships because the CIA was authorized to provide rebels stinger missiles. This turned the tide of the war against the soviet union. Trust but verify. Lead to Détente It opens the door to the eventual collapse of the soviet union and the election of Michael Gorbichof to president of the Soviet union and détente. Our military became strong and reinvigorated with an increase in spending. We sent jets into Libya to kill Khadafy by bombing his house for terrorist acts against our country. We went into Panama and disposed the dictator Noriega and stopped drug money laundering in that country. We went into Granada and rescued US students caught in a coupe. He sent money and supports the interdict in the drug trade in Columbia with Ollie North's help and the CIA. Two years after Reagan's Berlin " Mr. Gorbichof Tear down this wall", Speech, the Soviet Union collapsed and the wall came down when Bush came into office and the congress raised the speed limit again giving a boost to the economy. The Berlin wall fell and Europe was united again and it ushered in a new era of economic growth and prosperity. The US military had a great victory in the 100 hours war in which we defeated Iraq and secured our national interest. |
You know what my problem with Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama is.
Their both nice people, they believe that they can be idealistic and go into all situations with open hands.
You can't go into office saying we should negotiate with Iran and others, now every Democrat or liberal is going negotiating it worked in Korea.
Ya, it may or may not have worked in Korea, and time will still tell, and they do have an arsenal of nukes already.
But they didn't want to negotiate because of the goodness of Kim Gong IL's heart, they where forced to negotiate.
Because, George bullshit Bush ( If John McCain was from Texas or lives in Texas I would vote for Barack Obama tomorrow, dam Texan's don't pay taxes because they tax the wellheads on what is essentially the property of the USA's people, its a dam tax on all of us in the USA, completely illegal, the oil in the ground which oil companies lease or buy the rights to from the federal government or get them for free. Then they rape every other state when it comes to their energy buddies. Enron cause the biggest energy crisis on record until Bush let his buddies at Halliburton take over, and ya his other buddies the Saudi's, never let a Texas oil man be president!) We could have went into Iraq at a tenth of the price we are paying now. It bullshit it shouldn't cost more to field an army outside of the USA than it cost to field them at home! They should be self contained and not rely on outside contract help, pay the dam shoulders a good wage and they would stay in the service!)
understands you negotiate from a place of strength and power, sometimes you threaten force, you embargo, sometimes you walk away from the table, and if your going to bluff, you don't let it be known.
You may leave a back door open, or extend and olive branch after walking away from the table, but you don't go in with your tail between your legs or head down hoping to work a deal out for the sake of working a deal out. Especially with fanatics, dictators and extremist who see weakness and are indifferent to your values.
In Scotland the police to announced a new non-emergency service or information line used a picture of a dog in posters, post cards and advertising for that line. The Muslim shop owners refused to put the posters up and the immigrant population stared protesting and complaining because dogs and pictures of dogs are unclean to Muslims.
