Reaganomics: 32 Years of Failed Policy

The Reagan Revolution is an Utter Failure

The Economic Elephant with Robert Reich

Baby Boomers Take Huge Hit On 401k Plans. Now What?

Baby Boomers Take Huge Hit On 401k Plans. Now What?
"The current generation of soon-to-be retiring baby boomers is screwed. Between health care costs eating through retirement savings, the housing crash, and the likelihood that many of us who lost jobs in 2008 probably won't ever find one again, we're the biggest victims of Reagan 'trickle-down' theories."

Did the Flipping of the Reagan Revolution Begin Today?

"Wisconsin, along with the rest of the country, has experienced bad unemployment followed by a modest recovery. But during Walker's time in office, the state has hemorhaged jobs, leading the nation in job losses month after month. The recovery experienced by the rest of the nation, reflected in overall employment data, is significantly better than Wisconsin’s, which is a state that has historically had higher employment than most.

(Yes, there was a fourth author, Kevin Hassett. But the co-author of "Dow 36,000" doesn't exactly have a reputation to destroy.)

And when I talk about destroying reputations, I don't just mean that these three say things I disagree with. I mean flat-out, undeniable, professional malpractice."

"Following this ideology, a Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan presidency would most likely increase the pace of deregulation and destroy what is left of the country’s safety nets.  It would ultimately devastate the middle class, greatly increase the ranks of the poor and unemployed, do away with union rights, and reserve prosperity for the upper class alone.  All of this will be done in the name of the liberty.  And, it will be guided by an ideological paradigm that has already been historically proven to be disastrous."

"Between 1979 and 2007, the richest 1 percent received three-fifths of all the income gains in the country.  Most of this went to the richest 10th of that 1 percent, people with an average income of $5.6 million"
