That is kinda what I mean by republicans are more open to blue dog positions from the 90's... More Social Safety net, more money printing, more debt, and even more taxation.
This would have been unheard of in the 90's for a Republican, now today the difference is "Do we Print and spend 3 Trillion or 6 Trillion this year?"
Sadly for me I think the full effects of these terrible economic polices are going to hit about the time I ready to retire. 10 Years go I did not think retirement would be an option.. 2 years go I saw some hope... Today I am back to believing I will work until I am dead as there is no way these economic policies we see today will work out well for anyone.
- bradleyjg 5y agoBill Clinton was a free trader and ran a surplus. I don’t think this has to do with the Republicans turning to the left. They are going back to an older, nativist, version of the right.
- syshum 5y agoBill Clinton ran a surplus because of the 1994 Contract with America and He had a strong Republican controlled Congress that he had the desire to work with to get things done. unlike today where no one wants to work together to get anything done as the other side is "evil" I am not sure what you believe an "older, nativist, version of the right" looks like so I can not possible comment on that
