“lol... WOW... excuse me, brain-doner, but PRESIDENTS submit budgets to congress..­. (again... wow...) THEN congress does their thing in amending etc.. then goes back to the WH to SIGN... What say you not get "YOUR" selective history from revisionist rush...

FURTHER... the windfall tax cuts that bush I called (voodoo economics) were the seeds of the bullschmidt "trickle down" theory that has come to full fruition with the collapse of the markets under bush II... REAGAN CAMPAIGNED ON THOSE CUTS... They had nothing to do with Carter, but everything to do with corporate profiteering. And all it did was explode the deficit, and widen the gap between rich and poor SINCE the depressin. until bush II that is... That's not moveon history... that's not Maddow history (the most accurate pundit in recent history, btw).. that that's plain history. As Churchill once said... Facts have a liberal bias... deal with it.”

“the Depression began with the crash of '29.. Hoover was President. FDR led the country OUT of the depression.
Under Reagan and Bush, the regulations put in place BECAUSE of the depression began to be relaxed, and what happend... the market exploded, AND SO DID THE DEFICIT. (see windfall tax cuts)...”

bighat replied on Dec 03, 2009 at 11:46:50

“The original comment said 1929 and did not specify Jan 1 or Dec 31.

So sad your education is lacking. Ever heard of congress. Earmarks.

Presidents do not make the budgets. Congress does. Carter had let the military rust. Reagan wanted to rebuild the military. Congress added many the earmark in order to rebuild the military.

What regulations were relaxed by executive order? Otherwise than congress increased the deficit and relaxed the regualtion.

REad history. Do not get it from Maddow and Moveon.org

Windfall tax cuts were the relief from the windfall profits tax by Carter. Carter also broke teh backbone of the U.S. by refusing to sell our agricultural goods to Russia.

Yeah, things before Reagan were fantastic. Especially the closed gas stations and the 17% mortgages.”
