Republicans & Democrats

The other is that Sanders has demonstrated the relative weakness of the corporate Democrats and their major loss of trust among the people, especially the young. “It’s sad and ironic how undemocratic the party has become,” says Bill Curry, a former White House counselor on domestic policy to President Bill Clinton and now a writer for Salon. He compares the party to “a closely held PAC used mostly to advance the careers of political insiders and the interests of corporate donors.” - ralph nader

Fitch lowers Chicago credit rating to 1 step above junk

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago's credit rating has been downgraded to one step above junk grade by Fitch Ratings after the Illinois Supreme Court struck down Mayor Rahm Emanuel's reform plan for two city pensions.
Fitch lowered Chicago's rating from BBB+ to BBB- on Monday, increasing the cost of borrowing.
Fitch said it believes Thursday's ruling "was among the worst of the possible outcomes for the city's credit quality" and made clear the city's "responsibility to fund the promised pension benefits."
It said the rating could stabilize at BBB- if the city presents "a realistic plan that puts the pension funds on an affordable path toward solvency."

Ronnie lowered taxes with the top rate dropping from 70 percent to 29 percent. Most of those alleged tax increases were the elimination of tax loopholes and one increase of the cigarette tax.

Obama could only dream of being half the man that Reagan was.

You explain all the tax increases Reagan signed into law on the middle class.

OK, now you're just making stuff up.

SDI, or 'Star Wars', was what broke up the Soviet Union?

Reagan forced the USSR to spend more than they could afford to counter planned military advances that they thought that the USA was undertaking . Once they were bankrupt , the whole system imploded .
