I am a slick CON-MAN with alotta rich people behind him who have covered my illicit past- I NEVER miss an opportunity for the TV spotlight because my likeability covers my CRIMINAL past and people ignore my multiple SSN's and the FORGED birth certificate- EVERY word from my mouth is a LIE- I am the most secretive of ALL presidents- Every part of my past has been hidden or destroyed at great expense- I even surrendered my LAW license to avoid investigation- I AM THE BIGGEST FRAUD OF ALL TIME-

Ron Paul 2012!

@barsense Perhaps you are unaware that Paul Volker had raised interest rates to 14%, before Reagan inaugurated? I wonder, what would happen to the economy, today, if the Fed raised rates to 14%? Starting today, with 8.8% unemployment, do you think the collapse would stay at the 10.9% rate??? STUPID.

@barsense I do not know ANY progressives or democrats that are very fond of Ron Paul. there are some far left where the right meets the left and it is hard to tell the difference that favor Ron Paul but that is only because they have never studied his voting record. If they did they would not care for him anymore than I do. Ron Paul votes against average working people on EVERYTHING. Ron Paul always votes for corporations and the elite and they way he votes makes what he says LIES.

Pardon me for changing the subject, but I have an interesting question. Why do liberals generally respect Ron Paul (as evidenced during the '08 GOP primaries) yet despise Rand Paul? The two of the them are basically the same.

[Edgehead10075]

Okay, but that doesn't prove that it was the tax cuts that caused more unemployment. (Why would cutting taxes increase unemployment?) Figuring out cause and effect in economics is kind of tricky, and it takes time for tax cuts to have their effect. Also, why was unemployment high to begin with?

[barsense]

@Edgehead10075 Unemployment was in the 7% range when Reagan was inaugarated. AFTER Reagan tax cuts unemployed continued to ESCALATE until by his SECOND YEAR GET IT , NOT HIS FIRST YEAR , REAGANS slowly now read HIS SECOND YEAR UNEMPLOYMENT WAS OVER 10% FOR 10 MONTHS ESCALATING UNTIL IT REACHED 10.9% IT WAS ONLY AFTER REAGAN read slowly now PASSED THE BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN PEACETIME HISTORY TAKING BACK MUCH OF HIS INITIAL 1RST YR. TAX CUTS THAT UNEMPLOYMENT DECREASED

[Edgehead10075]

Was the high unemployment caused by his tax cuts, though, or was it a residual effect of the Carter administration?
