Interesting hearing them debate and discuss so many of the same problems we still face today. Yet back then (I assume as I wasn't alive yet) it just seems we were also still on the same team just trying to get there different ways. Today, that is not the case.

They've been on the same team since the Federal Reserve Act - but that ain't your team.

Before Trump, JFK was the last President not owned by the Cabal. You see how it turned out for those two.

Oswald was going to expose a lot of connections until Jack RUBENSTEIN killed him.

I just watched a few minutes of it and Carter said he hoped the solar panel industry would create jobs. Dems have been saying this for 40 years.

Carter v. Reagan was really a watershed moment:
Liberals thought they just needed to make a rational case for the best path forward in a post-gold standard economy where boom-bust cycles were going to be more common and lower wages/standard of living for most Americans was inevitable.
They figured everyone was rational and would just agree to wear a sweater inside and accept the gradual decline because increasing private debt was just not sustainable, right?!
Wrong! The other guys can just tell you anything you want to hear! Your only problem is that you are getting taxed too much which is preventing you from buying more of the ever more costly things relative to your stagnant real wages!
Both parties are a sack of shite but the Reagan and forward GOP is literally just selling folks a lie that they rejigger every so often so the lie doesn’t get stale.

Holy shite. Keep posting here. This is the kind of content that keeps me excited about the internet.
