I don't usually write about politics. I don't think it's a strong area for me. But, I just can't help asking what's the GOP thinking about?
They deny evolution. They deny climate change. They are currently arguing that we should deregulate business even more and lower taxes on the wealthy AGAIN to fix our economic problems.
That's what we've been doing for the last 40 years!
After the Great Depression there were laws, taxes and regulations put in place an there wasn't a financial crisis for until we started making changes in the 80s. First there was the savings and loan scandal. Then Chrysler had to be bailed out. Then another and another and another right up to our current housing and banking problems.
Isn't it obvious to everyone that maybe more deregulation isn't the best thing for America?
Just going back to taxes, laws and regulations like we had in the 50s won't solve everything. There are other problems having to do with technology and globalization. But, it ain't a bad place to start.
What do you think?
