ATTN: Supporters of Bush's tax cuts

FUCK YOU! You selfish bastards! You think I should support these tax cuts because they benifit you?! My generation's gonna have to pay for it, asshole! Thanks a lot! If welfare is theft, then you're robbing me blind, just for your own benefit, so fuck you!

Uhh..ok. I was only six or seven when the 80's ended,and I still know they sucked. Did you happen to do a lot of coke during this "go,go" peroid? Maybe this effected your interpretation of that decade. Even music sucks balls in the 80's.

he was talking about the economy. it's not the government's fault if the music sucks and people have stupid hair, stupid clothes, and say stupid things. in the 80's, we were also at peace, had a stable economy, and less racial injustice than ever before.

hugest defense budget in history?

i'd really like to see a figure that can show that our defense budget right now, adjusted for inflation and as a percentage of our GDP, is the biggest in US history. i wouldn't be surprised, but i think it's an assumption that people are making here without proof.

I think social trends can be a reflection of the economy.I think there is a reason crack was invented in the 80's. Possibly the ever widening chasm between the rich and poor? We had peace during the 80's? What about the cold war and arms being sold to people we now consider enemies? The economy was stable in the fact that the rich were filthy rich and the poor were filthy poor.

Grenada, Panama, etc. I guess that's peace if you consider the Clinton years to be a time of peace. Also, remember that it was at this time that we were arming Saddam.

Wasn't there some sort of stock market crash in '86 or thereabouts? I also seem to remember something about the federal deficit growing a great deal during that time.
Quote:

Hard to quantify, but ya, there was probably less racial injustice then than there was before, seeing as how racial tensions have eased up over time. There was also probably more racial justice in the 90's(if you disregard Rodney King and O.J. Simpson) than there was in the 80's.

Just remember one thing: "The Good Old Days" are usually the product of a poor memory.

in the 1910's we had the first world war. the 20's were good... the 30's we had the depression. the 40's, WW2. the 50's, the cold war was ramping up, there was korea, and black people getting killed for asking to be treated like humans... the 60's there was vietnam and more racial madness. the 70's economy was in the shitter (and gas prices were going crazy!!!).... the 80's sucked, i agree. but they weren't so bad. the cold war was winding down, and we had no major wars or depressions.

don't get me wrong... i don't think i'd like to go back to the 80's.... but they weren't that bad. i was very young in the 80's, as i'm sure most of us here were... maybe some of geezers here can give us their take on things in that decade...
