All of it was the millitary grade goods
Which was not increasing the standard of living
it's hard to prove that, I don't think there's sources about "increase in razor blade production during the 30-40s"
but there's plenty of ones about increase in military production
yeah
and we also had a bust
The bust was from the withdrawal of stimulus, since spending is included on gdp
The bust was due to malinvestment
due to the expansion of credit
It's like every single one
However if you were true, it would completely disprove Keynesian economics
Since if a stimulus is needed to keep the economy going, it means the government will go into debts, it's not economically sustainable
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ where’s my Reagan 😡
Being remembered as the demigod of Anglo-American conservatism and not as the gun-grabbing nannyist illegal-loving cuckaduck he was
Oh I didn’t know any of that
I jew knew that he did his best to make the US free market
As free as possible*
Trickle down economics is not *watertight* 😉 but yes everyone's wages rose in the 80's
I mean it works better than the government giving people money
And Reagan wasn't malicious really
With foreign policy, he was forced into a bad place, fooled by the neocons of the Project for a New American Century, who of course were mostly Jews
But domestically we still had some problems
I mean the contra thing also wasn’t fantastic
was it Reagan who had the “Star Wars” dream
Or was that carter
yeah
Reagan, I believe
Damn
That’s not good either
Now with Reagan, we did see some bad shit pass through Congress
Namely
The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986
The Democrats wanted to push in a clause that said no more purchases of automatics made after '86
Yea it was Reagan
And Reagan said sure, and this bill effectively shattered the Second Amendment by implicitly declaring that the citizenry has no right to be able to put up a fight against the Federal government
I don’t understand how he could be a gun grabber if he was libertarian
yea
It was passed by the 99th Congress that had a Senatorial R majority and House D majority, with neither having enough votes to override a Presidential veto
That, with Reagan's "big tent", put him and his party in a good, high position
What the fuck lmao
Later in that same year and Congress, they passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
