Trying to “prove” Obama isn’t the biggest spender president in history in light of his documented $5 trillion in debt strains credulity to the point of absurdity. Reagan was a skinflint compared to our current president. Yes, Reagan blew a lot of money, but he also killed inflation, reduced unemployment to 5%, brought down interest rates, strengthened the dollar, grew the economy by 30% and doubled real-dollar federal revenue intake. To top it off, Reaganomics kicked off the longest economic boom in our nation’s history. Every one of Obama’s economic indicators are the opposite.
For a recap on how a real president does things, read Veronique de Rugy’s data-filled article, President Reagan, Champion Budget Cutter. He’s the only president in the last 50 years to make real department cuts, and he did it by working with Democrats dominating both houses of congress. Obama's team is whining that they didn't have a supermajority. Obama could learn some lessons from Reagan, but he won’t.
Not only does the left not have facts on their side, they suffer from an inability to see things as they really are…
They really believe, and explode in rage that they can’t get others to believe, that the Wisconsin recall election was decided by outside corporate money rather than Walker lowering taxes and unemployment and eliminating Wisconsin’s Democrat-induced debt without any government layoffs.
Do liberal Democrats really believe Wisconsinites are so stupid that they just sit by the TV drooling at the GOP ads and then go robot-like off to the polls rather than look at the facts?
This is an intellectual death spiral.

Vanden Heuvel’s analysis of why the left lost in Wisconsin is simple, and if it is true, the left looks doomed. The answer is money, she says, reflecting a very widespread line of analysis. Thanks to the Supreme Court, the right is able to outspend the left ten to one, ensuring that the left can never win. (WRM)This is why the left is doomed. Not because of Big Money flowing from the Koch Brothers and evil corporations, but because of their defeatist thinking. Rather than charge into the marketplace of ideas with bold, fresh thinking, they instead make whiny excuses for why they can’t win. Too much money against them, people are too stupid to understand their positions, vast Right Wing Conspiracies, rightwingers won’t let Obama and the Pelosicrats spend the Krugman-prescribed amount of stimulus money, republicans (who control only one house and for only half of Obama’s first term) are blocking everything…
