Why do people think conservative economic policy works?
It doesn't seem that way to me. Believe it or not, Obama's policy is very conservative and it enrages me how he is seen as a liberal, when in reality he's the same as Bush. Sure, Ronald Reagan brought some temporary health to the economy, but in the long run it's been terrible for the country.
FDR>all.
And no, I'm not a skinny pale 15 year old with no job. I'm well off, and I happily pay my money to help poor people. And I'm Christian! Can you believe that, a [i]Christian[/i] liberal who supports helping the poor?
OP, if your house was flooded with shit would you remove the shit or just raise the ceiling?
Neither being economically liberal or conservative is bad, the economy is known for it's ups and downs. This is nothing new. Every economist that knows what they're doing wont play the blame game cause the economy will naturally go into the crapper and soar in the air no matter what the policy is, it's just the way it has always been.
