I also love that all of these social programs that the SPENDOCRATS are enacting are still just a drop in the bucket compared to the ongoing military action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not only that, Reagan legalized 3,000,000 Latino immigrants and many millions more immigrants who were illegals from Soviet controlled nations. It's actually one of the good things he did, and I'm not a fan of Reagan by any means.

I should add: those Hispaniards were ILLEGALS. Completely not supposed to be here. Not immigrants of the "acceptable" type.

And adjusted for inflation, that's like 337,950,000 in 2010 immigrant persons.

I'm not really too worried. If we become more insular and raise taxes to Einsenhower levels, we'll have a less materialistic lifestyle for a while but people will work and things will even out eventually. If we threatened to do this, the world economy would freak out though. People like to buy our treasuries because deep down people are more frightened of China and Russia then they are of us, so they accept our ridiculous borrowed hegemony in the short term.

I love the part in this where the guy warns that people may have to start living below their means, and then ominous music plays. Yes, imagine the horror of having to live the way people who save their money do.

Stars for this.
