Are Republicans delusional or knowingly ruining the country?
We've been going with Trickle-Down Economics for about 30 years now, and Orwellian words like "job-creator" still get thrown around as though allowing the wealthy to make even more money has actually created more jobs. Adjusted for inflation, since 1966 the average worker's salary in the bottom 90% has gone up 59 dollars per year. Meanwhile, in the top 10% its gone up over $116,000 and in the top 1% it's gone up $366,623.
While worker productivity has remained just as high, their wages have nearly completely flat-lined compared to wage growth prior to 1966. Corporate profits are at record breaking highs, Wallstreet is doing better than ever before, meanwhile unemployment is higher than it's been since the Great Depression and the homeless population has continued growing steadily.
So the facts are out, trickle-down economics are bullshit, the entire republican model to economic recovery is bullshit, and their desire to invoke european styled austerity will fail just as hard as it is in Europe. So there's really only one question left, are Republicans evil, or stupid?
