Compare and contrast the State of the Union address given by President Reagan in 1982 with that given by the current president this week. Same problems but entirely different approaches to fixing them. The biggest difference, Reagan's approach worked, Obama's approach so far and historically has never worked and in fact, it has always made things worse.
As I watch the attached video and remember the years surrounding it I am entranced by the notion of history repeating itself for those who do not take time to learn it’s lessons.
The current administration and congress should go to the library of congress and start reading old newspapers.
Follow up:
This clip is Ronald Reagan’s 1982 State of the Union speech. Watch it. I love his hopeless optimism, his eternal and heartfelt belief in the American people and the American spirit. President Reagan understood government was causing the problems and no government-spending plan could fix them. He also understood that getting government out of the way would indeed allow Americans to solve their own problems and put our nation back on a course to peace and prosperity.
We face many of the exact same problems right now. High unemployment and a tanking economy, the difference now is the current administration thinks that using the same policies that have always failed will somehow magically work. Government cannot deficit spend our nation back to prosperity. FDR proved it by adopting the same tactics the Obama administration has tried. Just as in the great depression these policies of spend spend spend are only making things worse.
Had we only stayed the course that President Reagan laid out for us, who knows how great this nation would have been? Sadly we did not, the last 4 Presidents have done almost everything in their power to reverse the success of President Reagan. So now we must feel the pain of not paying attention to the lessons of history.
