Wealth up but cuts to all things: Makes no sense!

[oscar111]

Good to tell fencesitters that US National wealth keeps going up, {17% during bush 4 years}

http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/current/accessible/l5.htm

{see bottom line there for national wealth}
==============================
Wealth keeps going up, so it makes no sense to put up with TV news telling us every day,
+++++++++
"Cops cut
Firefighters cut
School budget cut
Pothole repair cut"
++++++++++
I say, Reaganomics is to blame!
If wealth is up, we should get MORE firefighters!
=============================
Great point , but i need your help to fend off what freepers will say in reply --

i expect the thugs will say

"Just proves reaganomics increases national wealth."
==============================
My next answer would be

1. what good is higher wealth if it never increases
A. Gov services
B. Wages

2. About 80% of the wealth is borrowed money, not a sign of reaganomics improving US factories.

Please add your thoughts.

{ps. current US wealth totals 109 Trillion. Was 91 Trillion at the end of 2000}

1. If it makes no sense,

it's because BushCo creates their own reality. And that reality is that those on the top get EVERYTHING.

3. PDF? if you can open PDF, pls get historical wealth

file at the link in the orig post, and post here .. or PM me,.. with the wealth in 1980. That would show how wealth has gone up during all of reaganomics sick 25 year rule,

a time when wages have wound up

LOWER THAN WHEN REAGANOMICS BEGAN

... adjusted for inflation.

{"reaganomics is a flop. Toss it"}

2. During the Netherland's "Golden Age," the poor ate only rye bread

some of it donated from the "Bread Bar" inside the Haarlem Church after services.

The wealthy ate, well, it's been recorded in oil many times.

5. 17th Century

the era the Bushies are trying to achieve for themselves, sans the art and culture.

6. It does

Its call the corporationalism of the US politics
In short the corporation did a hostile takeover of the American Goverments
While the giant the people of the USA was sleeping
To defend themself they erected the MEDIA CURTAIN

See l can be disconnected from reality just like Chimp :)
