....Reagan started the whole
'deficit spending' &
'trickle down' supply-side economics mess, STIFF, that the Republicans have adopted and built their platform on the past 35+ years. Prior to Reagan, the national debt of the US had declined with every serving president since WW2 and Pres. Truman. Reagan inherited a national debt
under $1 trillion and left office 8 years later having tripled that national debt. Many Republicans called it
'voodoo economics', which it truly is. Its worth researching and reading about it, and, how Reagan implemented
eleven different tax increases on the middleclass to recoup their tax cuts he gave them along with the richest Americans. Thus began the separation between the
'haves' and
'have nots' and the middleclass pay stagnation and decline.
....Pres. Chump and the Congressional ReThuglicans have taken
'trickle down' to a new low this time ... proposing to cut $800 billion out of Medicaid, which strikes a big blow to the
poorest Americans, and shifting it over to a $600 billion tax cut that primarily benefits the wealthiest Americans
once again.
....Thus far the trifecta Republican control in Washington has not passed
one single piece of major legislation that they proposed in 2016 elections... not
ONE. Now, the Republicans, that are up for re-election in the 2018 mid-terms, are worried about their being re-elected because of the massive Medicaid/entitlement cuts, and the proposed Trumpcare health plan proposed to replace Obamacare.
