The Tea Party movement is actually made up of a wide cross of Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians who are pissed off that the elected leaders of this country are ignoring the will of the people, the out of control spending that takes place whenever the left controls the legislature and the executive branch at the same time, and the attack upon personal liberties, rights, and law based upon our fundamental law of the land. (President Bush was no better by the way). The only danger is that it might draw votes from the right in the next election if it presents is a third party candidate and that it will eliminate any possible second term by a communist President.

Double digit inflation was rampant under the Carter Administration, not President Reagan. Economic expansion was greatest ever under that President and during the Clinton administration when the Republicans held the Senate and forced by party line to limit the power of the executive branch at the time.

It was the policies enacted by Ronald Reagan that helped the US avoid a major depression due among other things taxes being raised, no controlled spending, and high fed funding rates during the Carters years, resulting in severe inflation.

Ronald Reagan is one of a only a few Presidents who actually came from a life other than privilege; raised in poverty by a largely absent alcoholic father, he went on to become the spokeman for many generations as he is credited with becoming one of the very first color commentators in sports ever, worked his way through college, earning a degree in economics, and among many other achievements, he was the only governor of California during the last half of the century to operate the state of California in the black after eliminating a huge, huge, insolvency due to the former leaders of that state. And yes, I actually read his biography, researched his policies in contrast with Carters, lived through those years, and have written several published papers regarding that specific economic time period.

(for the record, I'm not a nuthugger to anyone, however when I see inaccuracy stated when the facts are clear, I have to speak up. I also included exctensive research regarding this specific period of our history in the textbook I am currently writing/editing on economics)

Many of the same economic theories and thoughts that defined the Carter administration as the worst in history are being applied in even greater zeal by a current administration.

President Reagan was the antidote for those mistakes made by the Carter admin, not the result.

The biggest mistake people on this board and so many other places regarding politics and economics is letting personal thought and feelings rewrite history. Facts do not change, and regardless of political ideology, stupidity, ignorance, and reluctance to admit fault will ALWAYS result in those facts becoming revisited with a much greater consequence. The current administration is a great example of this statement.

I do like Ron Paul however, Dennis Kucinich is no longer a political player and pretty much irrelevant.

I believe Paul Krugman would have a field day with that logic it was Raygun's deregulation that sarted what we see today.Carter was dealimg with alot of issues like a bloated military budget that is worse today and Barry rampimg up the war is insane.But the darling of the tea party Mrs.Palin loves to get her war on so you figure.I personally like to keep the troops out of an unjust war gives us more MMJ(no PTSD or other injuries)plus we have no right to kill people for their resources.
