“It took the national debt two hundred years to reach $1 trillion. Supply Side Economics quadrupled the national debt to over $4 trillion in twelve years (1980-1992) under the Republicans.

“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.” GovernmentPastFoundPartyEconomyRepublicanTaxesLowsStandardsEconomicsMethodInstitutionsRateCurrentsRefuseDebtExpensesExtensionsRepublican PartyEquipmentBargainsSampleSecuredAccommodations Author:Calvin Coolidge

“[Donald] Trump and all the Republicans believe in the theory of trickle down economics which is a theory discredited even by the author himself David Stockton. The theory suggests that if we take care of the people at the top, if we cut taxes for the wealthy, if we make sure they are doing really well, then the investments that they make in the economy and the jobs that will create, will make everything grow and it will have a trickle down effect on the rest of us.” PeopleIfsBelieveWellsCareJobsGrowsEconomyCuttingEffectsTheoryTrumpRepublicanTaxesEconomicsInvestmentTake CareWealthyTrickle DownTrickle Down Economics Author:Debbie Wasserman Schultz

“Trump is popular, Trump is big precisely because Republican voters are angry at establishment Republicans.
