Nixon: set price controls and ended the gold standard leading to massive inflation that spilled into Carter's term once price controls were rescinded. Reagan: fell ass backwards into the Fed providing massive stimulus after a first term with two major recessions. Served second term while demented.

Bush I: forced to raise taxes due to massive deficits from Reagan, left office when this led to a recession. Clinton: 8 years of uninterrupted economic growth Bush II: asleep at the switch on 9/11, ran massive deficits in a failed war effort, oversaw the debt bubble and resulting financial crisis.

It’s the division between Those Who Understand How Things Work and Those Who Demand That Things Work The Way That Makes Them Feel Better About The World.

Yeah, it’s not even the legendary horseshoe. Centrists are just as prone to it. That’s what “both sides” nonsense is.

Exactly. They sense that the world is complex, and it terrifies them.
