Tax cuts didn't lead to massive deficits, it actually brought in more revenue for expenses. It is the 2006 midterm election that turned over the Congress to Democrat majorities that did the spending that caused the major escalation in the deficit.

And slow job growth? What could possibly impede any business wanting to grow? Could it be managing expenses? Expenses like taxes and complying with government regulation.

He doesn't even understand the problem. The media doesn't want to present facts that make reality difficult for Obama. And now Democrat supporters can get exited over this nonsense economics this week. If the implications weren't so serious I'd have a good laugh at some of the locals as they express their anticipation excitement...

[[ “’[T]here is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. ‘The market will take care of everything,’ they tell us,” said Obama. “If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes—especially for the wealthy—our economy will grow stronger. ]]

Notice how the SOB says our rugged individualism and desire for less government is “IN OUR DNA”? Then he goes on to say that less government has never worked.

Well is he saying, like idiots, we came here, stayed here, fought here, died here, worked here for hundreds of years, but it didn’t work even though we built the greatest country in history?

His is a drugged mind, high on chemicals, ego and adrenalin. He thinks the United States of America was, and is, an illusion.

He might be saying one thing to the American people, but he is conveying another more basic truth about himself: The United States of America, and the virtues that built it, do not run in HIS DNA!

It’s time to throw this empty, broken-down chair into the landfill of our darkest history and cover it with shame and humiliation.

Obama just keeps writing POWERFUL ads for the GOP.

Free markets don't work, never have!

Rugged individualism doesn't work, never has!

Democracy doesn't work, never has!

Freedom doesn't work, never has.

AMERICA DOESN'T WORK, NEVER HAS!

He understands, he just lies.

The whole democrat economic message we will be hearing from the convention this week will be the Big Lie, in a dimension unseen since the days of totalitarian regimes in Germany and Russia.

Be ready for it-- by Thursday night it will look like we've been living in boom times the last three years.

"It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression," said Obama. "It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s. And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory."

This far into the thread and nobody has argued with his facts?!

We didn't try it during the last decade, or even during the decade before the Great Depression. Just because we have a Republican president doesn't mean we're somehow an unregulated free market.

In both examples government interference in the market caused the problems that came later. It wasn't the lack of government interference.

“In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets “speaks to our rugged individualism” as Americans, such a system “doesn’t work” and “has never worked” and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.”

Holy $hit!

Is this guy channeling Biden???

He just wrote a crap ton of Romney ads!

if there is any doubt that the obamanation is not a fascist/marxist/socialist, his very words explain it.

Rinos are the socialist nowadays, the rats are full-fledged communists/fascists.

50 years after the Cuban Revol-oosion they still can’t make it work. Same for North Korea and all the other commie nations that are now in the dustbin of history.

20 years after the American Revolution, using the FREE MARKET system we were a MAJOR PLAYER on the world economic scene.

It appear communism and socialism only lasts till the original leaders, who rule as dictators, and their older followers die off, then the nations revert to the FREE MARKET system.

Prosperity depends on ecomomic progress. Economic progress depends on capital accumulation. Capital accumulation depends on saving and innovation. These in turn depend on free markets to make high profits and accumulated great wealth. And this depends on freedom and limited government.

The only alternative to improvement for all, through economic progress achieved in this way, is the futile attempt of some men to gain at the expense of others by means of looting and plundering. This, the loot-and plunder theory, is the alternative advocated by the critics of the misnamed trickle-down theory.

We have to keep in mind that we are adressing idiots.

When you tell dumb people (and democrats- but that is redundant) that cutting taxes brings in more money it is difficult for them to grasp why.

The why is that the government is taking TOO MUCH which slows down the economy. That needs to be explained much better than we have done.

such a system “doesn’t work” and “has never worked”
///
i noticed he ignored all history before 1920.
...seems to me, things generally worked great,
until 1912, and the Constitution was fundementally changed.
