Dr. Ben is good and I would vote for him if he ran as a republican. No 3rd parties for me. They lose and they lose badly. Right now, Rand Paul displays the most common sense of any candidate I have witnessed since JFK, the president who helped enact the first tax cut. I had just graduated from college and JFK’s tax cut helped revive a flagging economy.
LBJ’s guns and butter policies let the inflation genie out of the bottle by commanding the stupid Viet-Nam war. Nixon had his Watergate and WIN buttons & price controls. Carter created double digit inflation, and under Reagan the democrat congress was able to triple spending during 8 years. Bush-41 had his read my lips fiasco, and Bush-42 gave us prescription drugs, Iraq war and Nancy Pelosi for speaker who ran rough-shod over Dubya during the last 2 years. Dubya gave us TARP.
