The Republicans are a simulacrum, the perfect example of a party that does not exist.

Ummm…you’re a little sketchy on Stockman’s expressed feelings re: the Reagan tax cuts in general, Reagan’s acumen on the subject in particular, starting in about 1985, aren’t you Colby?

Stockman views on tax rates and their impact on the economy very much differs with….say…what Dan Barlett believes is vital to economic growth.

But thanks for helping Olbermann turn a philosophical difference into a comic book cast of characters.

No, but I’ve noticed… You trolling around all day with nothing interesting to say…

Poor David Stockman, destined to go down in conservative annals as a traitor to the legacy of Ronald Reagan and a textbook example of a RINO. On the bright side, he HAS come to his senses. So there’s that! ;-)

Fact: Ronald Reagan was against big government. Big government spending. That includes what mentioned here about the fed printing money and spending for entitlements. Look quit spending money you don’t have. Tea Party is right on this all have to give but at 35% that it is now is high and realistically dropping it back to the 38% wouldn’t be a show stopper but to do this you need to drop Obamacare too. Every family’s portion is just close to 100K per household and it’s time to pay!

I voted for Ronald Reagan twice, 1980 and 1984. He was the right man for the job at the time. But he compromised against his better judgment in his selection of George HW Bush for vice president. And that was a catastrophe for the nation that negated every positive Reagan brought and, in George W. Bush, culminated in a backwards step all the way to 1929. Reagan would be mortified to be associated witht he Republicans today and he wouldn’t piss on a tealiban if that tealiban were on fire.

I seem to recall Stockman being on the outs with the Republicans even before the end of the Reagan administration, so the whole “ooh, former Reagan official attacks Republicans” trope doesn’t really work for me.

Someone needs to tell this jokers that Reagan raised tax.

The Gop’s augment is so laughable.

They claim the middle-class workers will find jobs with the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table.

If that’s true, why didn’t they hire anyone with that tax cut since December 2007?

Stick around. You ain’t seen nothing yet!

I wonder what the tax cut did to the economy for the past 10yrs?
Tuned surplus to deficit
Record job losses.
That’s what has happened.

Obama Presides Over Most Jobs Lost Since 1940

Unemployment shot up in 2009 from 7.7 percent in January to 10.1 percent in October before settling at 10 percent in December. Behind those percentages were more than 4.1 million people who lost their jobs during the year. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that’s the most job losses in a year since 1940. (BLS could only provide data from 1940-2009)

Poor dear, what happened to VP Bite Me’s prediction of a massive summer job creation?

Biden Predicts 100K-200K Jobs Next Month
Eric Kleefeld | April 23, 2010, 6:19PM

Vice President Biden predicted today that the economy will add between 100,000-200,000 jobs next month, and between 250,000-500,000 jobs per month in time thereafter.
Biden made his comments while campaigning for Mark Critz, the Democratic nominee in the May 18 special election for the House seat in Pennsylvania formerly held by the late Democratic Rep. John Murtha. “All in all we’re going to be creating somewhere between 100 and 200,000 jobs next month, I predict,” Biden said, according to the pool report from the Pittsburg Tribune-Review.

Biden added that he’s “got in trouble” for a previous job growth prediction in March.
“Even some in the White House said, ‘hey, don’t get ahead of yourself,’” said Biden. “Well I’m here to tell you some time in the next couple of months we’re going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month. Because I’m telling you something, folks. We caught a lot of bad breaks on the way down. We’re going to catch a few good breaks because of good planning on the way up.”

Result?

Over 283,000 jobs lost over the summer of 2010 ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Stockman is still a proud member of the Republican party but vociferously opposes the Bush Tax Cuts (as well as the alleged proliferate spending by the Democrats.)

Why is the proliferate spending by the Democrats alleged?

I saw Stockman on Colbert as well. It’s a shame that basic common sense seems to have little effect.

@notsofast
Let me break it down for ya, he Job losses that happens in early 2009 can’t be BO’s fault, because his policies were not activated yet. It was a continuation of the job loss that started in 07. There’s no need to be emotionally mad about this, its just facts.

@notsofast
Still you didn’t respond to the surplus turning to deficit under W.
By the way GDP is on the rise, the economy is recovering, but it’s not showing in job creation. Report released recently also states that Corporations are making the highest profit they’ve ever made in history. The economy is improving, but labor is dragging behind, that’s fact.

David Stockman was a disaster as budget director, and his bungling of the position severely limited Reagan’s ability to cut spending. The most incompetent appointee in the Reagan administration, and — based on his track record — is clearly a major contributor to the deficit problem, not its solution. Anyone who takes his advice on economics is asking for trouble.

Paul Westlake says:
“Poor David Stockman, destined to go down in conservative annals as a traitor to the legacy of Ronald Reagan and a textbook example of a RINO. On the bright side, he HAS come to his senses.”

Paul, Stockman hasn’t changed at all. It’s many others on the right who have gone over the cliff to the right. I never did think that supply-side economics made sense; indeed it lead to the U.S. resembling a banana republic with the few holding the lion’s share of the wealth while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet.

Deficit climbs to record under Obama’s budget
$3.8 trillion budget: Jobs take priority; reaction swift
February 02, 2010|By Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau

Washington — President Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget blueprint for next year sets a new deficit record of $1.56 trillion, includes a big jobs program and rolls back Bush-era tax cuts for high-income Americans. The president sidestepped any major attack on chronic deficits, which would not drop below $700 billion in the next several years.

Sales of existing homes plunged in July
Record drop of 27 percent to the lowest level since 1995

WASHINGTON — Sales of previously occupied homes plunged last month to the lowest level in 15 years, despite the lowest mortgage rates in decades and bargain prices in many areas.
July’s sales fell by more than 27 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.83 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. It was the largest monthly drop on records dating back to 1968, and sharp declines were recorded in all regions of the country.

WASHINGTON, March 10, 2010 – The government ran up the largest monthly deficit in history in February, keeping the flood of red ink on track to top last year’s record for the full year.

The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the previous record set in February of last year.”

Good points, GBR. Most conservatives forget that Reagan raised taxes again when it became clear that nobody was going to reduce spending any time soon. What they also forget is that Reagan slashed social programs and STILL exploded the debt, because he increased spending on the military by MORE than he decreased spending on domestic priorities. Stockman was just doing the math most of the time, and it often pointed in the wrong direction. I guess my point was more about the perception among reactionaries today – one of our own has betrayed us. You’re right that he changed much less than the landscape around him, but the separation was my point. If you knew about him before, not surprised. If you didn’t AND you’re a reactionary… watch out! ;-)
