The Green New Deal is a total joke that shouldnt be even considered by Congress. It defies basic economics, math and reality in general.

So did the new deal, so did every social program since ever.

The Green New Deal and FDR's New Deal are not comparable at all. If the Green New Deal was say a trillion dollar green infrastructure  project over the next 10 years than it would be comparable

So were the Republican tax cuts, the trillion dollar Republican budget deficits and the Republican global warming denialism, but you didn't have a problem with any of those things.

Anybody who has supported the Republican Party for the last 25 years or so but is now going on about 'defying reality' needs to give their head a shake.

The tax cut does not defy economics , and not even math cause it can be easily paid for , if you cut military spending.


The Green New Deal would cost trillions of dollars each year (the tax cut cost even using liberal estimate was 2 trillion over 10 years) .

A bizarre accusation from a proponent of Reaganomics.

Milton Friedman is one of the most brilliant economists ever (Reaganomics real name is Friedmanian Economics)

Um, no?

Well the success of the 1980s and 1990s proves Friedman right .

You mean after that upper income tax hike--a fundamental sin under his theories--that Friedman and his acolytes all swore would devastate the economy, rather than resulting in a budget surplus as actually happened? Roll Eyes

Literally not worth additional discussion.

Clinton cut taxes too , including ones Reagan raised. Reagan raised the Capital Gains Tax Rate from 20% to 28% while Clinton dropped it from 28% to 20%. Clinton also deregulated the economy more than Reagan did .


Reagan also de facto raised taxes on people in real estate by getting rid of the ability to use passive losses to offset taxable income

Cutting the capital gains tax very likely contributed to the technology bubble of 2000 and the housing bubble of 2007/2008.  

Tech Bubble I agree, Housing Bubble I would say removing glass Stegall and I believe Greenspan decision to inflate the housing bubble had more to do with it

You can thank Jimmy Carter for the early 80's. Trickle down economics is a Trump Unversity type con job.




LMAO  keep listening to TYT and by the way you know when the economy started to improve: 1983 not 1981. 1983 was the year Reagan's economic policies started to go fully into effect (1982 was the transition year) and the economy roared after that and aside for a couple years in the early 90s the economy had the best 18 year stretch in American History(1983-2001).

Also do you know why Carter's policies failed, it was because there was no way Keynesian Economics
would work against that type of recession because it was caused by a supply shock. Supply Side Economics was the cure for it because it directly addressed the economic problems facing us then.

If we used your measurements, FDR was the worst President of all time.

The Depression wasnt caused by a supply shock so its not comparable to the 70s and early 80s stagflation.


Also in FDR's first 4 years unemployment dropped by 50% , GDP nearly doubled, and he had passed boatload of legislation.
