  Aw don’t worry you guys. The last time the US went all crazy with tarrifs was 1930 and that eventually worked out fine!

  This is something we should keep in mind. Sure, it’s a bit sad that more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed and Netenyahu says Tuesdays attacks that killed hundreds of women and children is “only the beginning”…

  But lets also think about the fact that eggs, gas and lumber prices have gone way up, and that those 9 trans college athletes in America cant play sports. Really puts it into perspective. I mean, who’s the real victim here?

  The liberals are certainly not my comrades.

  Sure, you can make rhe case that the origin of the current homelessness crisis goes further back, but it is undeniable that Reagan accelerated the process beyond any other set of post war policies.

  You can also point to some short term benefits from that administration but you don’t mention that Reagan (and the party of fiscal responsibility) increased the federal debt from $738 to $2.1 trillion, thus transforming the USA from the worlds largest creditor to the worlds largest debtor.

  Since Reagan, many people who called themselves conservatives and those who called themselves liberals both embraced neoliberal policies, and some benefited a lot. The long term consequences we see are dissapearing middle class, ever increasing income inequality and record levels of homelessness.

  It also seems like no particular person or party is really to blame, these are just the natural results of late stage capitalism, invisible hand of the market and all that.
