Three months later, Reagan signed the Social Security Reform Act and blogger Right Wing Liberal calls [...] ...

Filed under: Barack Obama , 2008 President There's more than one or two similarities, as this YouTube points out: The celebrity aspect and the dissing of eloquence is pretty much spot on, as the knock on Reagan pretty much throughout his term was that he was all flash and no substance. Those relying on this line of attack might be wise to remember that. And while I think it's fun to point out the similarities, they're fudging on the experience aspect. By the time he had his successful run for the presidency in 1980, it had been sixteen years since he had entered the national scene due to a fantastic speech at the GOP national convention in 1964. From there he went to two terms as governor of the largest state in the union and an unsuccessful run for the presidency in 1976. And throughout this time he was quite free in his opinions about current events both foreign domestic. Staunch anti-communism was one of his signature pillars after all. With his brilliant communication skills alone, it was certain that Obama would be a contender on the national stage, the question is whether the Democrats have pushed him out there too early. If he loses this run, Hillary will get her chance in 2012 and the Democrats will lose the Obama cult perhaps forever.   Permalink  |  Email this  |  Linking Blogs  |  Comments ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- California's former and perhaps future governor, Jerry Brown, says it took him 13 minutes to get here from Oakland, where he was mayor for eight years and now lives. He came on BART, the transit system launched by his father Pat, who was Democratic governor for two terms until beaten by Ronald Reagan in 1966, which ended a political career that began in 1928 when Pat ran unsuccessfully, as a Republican, for the state Assembly. ...

"Barack Obama and John McCain used an ongoing debate over energy policy to tack back to core themes of their campaigns Tuesday, with Obama blasting his rival for the presidency as a clone of the current administration and the Republican seeking to revive his reputation as someone willing to buck his party on major issues," reports The Washington Post . "Obama, campaigning in Ohio, said a McCain administration would be 'four more years of oil companies calling the shots.' ... McCain countered with a new television ad that will appear in crucial battleground states. The spot declares that 'Washington's broken' and 'we're worse off than we were four years ago,' paraphrasing a line Ronald Reagan used to criticize Jimmy Carter almost three decades ago. While not criticizing Bush by name, the senator from Arizona pledged to 'battle Big Oil' and 'make America prosper again.'" In " Solving Pump Pain ," Cato Senior Fellow Jerry Taylor writes: "Skyrocketing energy prices are hammering Americans. ... What to do? Individually, of course, most of us will start conserving -- people are already driving less, buying more fuel -- efficient cars, etc. Should the government mandate even more conservation? No, 'too much' conservation is as economically harmful as 'too little.' The only thing government should do on this front is ensure that prices are 'right' -- that is, that they reflect total costs. ... But there's a fair bit to do on the supply sid ...

I was against the idea of tax rebates from the time they were discussed as a way to stimulate the economy. If you don't believe me, feel free to read this . As I wrote, "if we really want to stimulate the economy, we need a permanent tax cut." The tax rebate certainly was not permanent and based on Milton Friedman's past research on this issue, I was convinced that it would not work. Martin Feldstein, who chaired the Council of Economic Advisers under President Reagan, was convinced that the tax rebate would work. Martin Feldstein is, of course, an exceedingly smart man and he has forgotten more economics than most people will ever learn. But on the rebate, Feldstein has come to the conclusion that he was wrong to have endorsed it : Congress enacted the tax rebate program earlier this year because it perceived a growing risk of recession. In addition, it feared monetary policy alone would not be effective because of the dysfunctional credit markets. As American taxpayers know, most of the rebate checks have now been mailed and cashed. Those of us who supported this fiscal package reasoned that the program would boost consumer confidence as well as available cash. We hoped the combination would cause households to spend a substantial fraction of the rebate dollars, leading to more production and employment. An optimistic and influential study by economists at the Brookings Institution projected that each dollar of revenue loss would ...

  Fred Muzi’s second-floor office, above Muzi Ford, is covered in a mix of browns and oranges, with a boot-shaped clock on the wall, between Native American artifacts and mementos. In a corner, there are photos of Ronald Reagan, George Washington, and a depiction of Jesus Christ.  Behind his couch — also orange with arms like tree stumps — there’s a collection of books on Native American life. From his window, Muzi, 77, can see Highland Avenue, past the rows of cars in his lot — a business his immigrant father built — and the flow of traffic on Route 128. The history of various cultures and tribes intrigues him, always has, but he can’t pinpoint the reason. He just shrugs. “I’ve just always found them fascinating,” he said, rifling through a photo album dedicated to his appearances in Needham Fourth of July parades gone by. Each year, for the past 51, Muzi receives a phone call, or usually, a letter, from the Exchange Club, inviting him to participate in the parade. It began in the spring of 1957, just after he returned to his hometown from the army to run his father’s car dealership. The police and fire chiefs of the day — members of the Exchange Club — asked him to take part, and launched a tradition Needamites have largely embraced through the decades, though not always.  That summer, he first rode his horse bareback, dressed as a cowboy. But soon, and for the many years that followed, he parlayed his passion for Native American ...
