Prices on WHAT dropping? Gasoline? Butter and eggs? The fact that cheap gadgetry went down in price is a function of 2 things: Slave labor, and technological progress. Reagan can b e thanked for only one of those. Just out of curiosity - why won't you defend Reaganomics when a black guy implement...

What's better Cannon, incomes staying the same and prices dropping, or prices and income increasing equally? Are you done defending your OP?...

The irony is so thick I could cut it with a shoe. The chart shows that the "increase in real income" is at the expense of workers! The giant sucking sound the chart divulges is, in your partisan world, evidence FOR Reaganomics?...

It pains me to see you stuck on talking points. What seems lost on is your graph says more is being produced without corresponding increases in cost inputs. So prices come down. That means an increase in real income. Did we see that under Carter or Reagan? Anymore regurgitated nonsense from you...

The right wankers cry about expanding government and burgeoning debt, while defending expanding government and burgeoning debt. It's really very curious and schizophrenic. But then, they live in the land where ketchup is a vegetable (depending on who declares it such, OF COURSE)....

Real income, as I already showed you with a handy graph, TANKED next to productivity. Under Reagan, families gave more and more, getting less and less in return. Today's economy is merely Reaganomics plus time, son. Latch key kids, full penitentiaries, wide spread drug addiction and an anemic dollar...

So then you can't quantify Carter and Reagan's "real economies" then?...

Thanks, cannon. I'd assumed 'real' vs 'manipulated' would have been clear to the fellow. Obviously not....

And yet real income decreased under Carter but grew by more than 10% under Reagan and the ISM index was above 50 for his presidency. Another straw man little fella. I guess you're finished defending your OP....

I can give you some examples. Carter's economy was not built on low age jobs. He did not lie about his unemployment numbers by using "ketchup is a vegetable" math, leaving out any unemployed person not currently drawing benefits. He did not triple the national debt to artificially grow the economy. ...
