"The economy didn't just crash under a Republican president, it crashed under Republican policies"

Best summation of why Republicans will lose. Why Obama is ahead in the polls even though the economy is sluggish.

I guess this poster might have pulled it from another, based on the comments.


"The economy didn't just crash under a Republican president, it crashed under Republican policies."

"...It crashed with low taxes.
It crashed with deregulated markets.
It crashed with huge restrictions on union activity.
It crashed with massive cuts in environmental regulations.
It crashed with lowered trade barriers.
It crashed with big fat Pentagon spending."

"....They certainly can't admit the truth about the economy. They can't admit that they did it. Own it. That their policies directly caused the
worst economic failure in American history."

The main battle front of global revolution against neoliberalism is currently in Southern Europe.
