Yeah.)

Anyway, tax reform then led to the worst period of economic growth since WW2 for the end of Reagan's term and all through Bush 41's term. It didn't pick up again till Clinton raised taxes in 1993 and growth returned to normal. So you're trebly wrong on that one statement. Even Reagan's gigantic tax cut did nothing to help the economy. Reagan made the biggest cut in history by about ten times in 1981 and the unemployment rate jumped from seven to eleven percent.
With the cannabis thing I'm just pointing out Sessions has no intention of ending the war on drugs. He's going to do the opposite, not just with cannabis.

And once again, all I do is comment on current events. I could post endless stuff about Trump every day and I don't bother. Remember back when Obama was prez and you started endless threads and made endless posts about what a shit job Obama was doing. I haven't done anything like that. You post more about Hillary than I do about Trump.

That's some of the dumbest posting you have ever done AND it's completely, I say, I say, COMPLETELY out of left field...I never said anything about what tax reform does all I said was it would be good if Trump did it because it's what he promised. And in the second sentence you've just refuted what you asserted in the first sentence.

Durrrrr durrrrrr I don't watch videos....Yes I'm well aware of HW Bush being torpedoed by the Congressional Democrats


Yada yada yada yada when do you get to JFK awww you don't?!?!?! Golly gee I wonder why


And I'm pointing out if Sessions moves forward on what you say he's going to do well then there will be a LOT of trouble, a LOT of trouble because that has been a huge boon to the states where it's legalized.



Member your posts about Obama, MEMBER? You post more bout Hillary MEMBER? I don't MEMBER typing the exact same thing in the previous post so I'll do it again.
