Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 27, 2016

Reagan didn’t get around to laying off this guy.

Not every lower level functionary got the memo…

The tell-tale heart.

Alas, when it comes to things like this, Raygun is STILL President.

Reagan! The 80s- and yet this storyline is still quite familiar. DOONESBURY sticks on the head.

“I’m going to cut regulations. I’m going to cut taxes big league.”

Reagan was the gift to the rich that keeps on giving.

I lost $100 betting against Reagan in that presidential election and one way or another, he and his ideological followers have cost me money, ever since !You know the only thing that “trickled down”, don’t you ?

Sniffy mcsnifferson is still peddling trickle down economics today.

Thanks, republican congress!

The power to increase the federal minimum wage is in the hands of the Republican-controlled Congress—not the president. Obama has consistently called for a higher minimum wage, but the Republicans have blocked it.

Also, you might check your facts about the poor getting poorer—it seems they’ve actually been getting less poor.

Rich getting richer – poor getting poorer? And you live in a market economy that makes this happen? Isn’t that what Communism was supposed to correct? Wait, you guys don’t like Communism. Wait, only those OOOber rich don’t like Communism because that would slow down their getting rich. You guys need to stop electing the rich and concentrate on the candidates running on a shoestring budget because they have no money. Wait, those poor guys aren’t running because they’re too busy trying to survive. Oh dear, what to do, what to do!!

“A rising tide lifts all boats.”

This is, of course, true. Alas, the tricklle-down types aren’t smart enough to realize that the tide rises FROM THE BOTTOM UP!!

Give more to the rich & they hold it.Give more to the poor and they have no choice but to spend it – thus increasing demand, thus growing the economy.With every increaes in the minimum wage, starting with it’s inception, the ownership class has predicted it would tank the economy; in every case the opposite has happened.

And while there is no doubt Obama was far too conservative to be what we needed, you can’t really judge him by his Presidency, as the Republiklans openly said from the start that their only goal was to block everything & deny the first black Pres a legacy.

Just so you will know . . . . . . . .We are not debating, and you are still a hyper-partisan lunatic.Now that you know . . . . . . . .
