He seems to have a better understanding of Econ
101 than 95% of the rest of the politicians and most of the public also.
He
will not be President, but would make one hell of an advisor. Probably the
best candidate and will also not get the nod, is Newt G. He was the one
who
balanced Clinton's budgets. The Contract with America was one of the best
things that happened to WJC.


the contract ON america you mean. the continued war of the right
against the ameircan middle class


Reply:
No the war on the middle class is the insane overspending by almost all the
Congress's for 50 years. And the inflation that it has caused. 1968, a
middle class family had an income of about $14k. Could buy a house and car
and decent vacation. 43 years later, that is 1/2 of poverty level. The
Contract with America was to allow those middle class to have the value of
the money they earned. Not having to keep sending more to Washington, D,C.
to pay for bloated government. One of the only places in the USA that has
not seen a housing bust is the DC area. Lots of money there.


funny the rich seem to be doing OK. they had a 500% pay increase in
the last 30 years.

so why are they doing fine and the rest of us are headed for poverty?

answer: that's what the right wing wants for the US
