A term describing the faulty logic of Reaganomics. Also known as trickle down, the theory is that if you reduce income (i.e. cut taxes) then you somehow generate more revenue. Obviously, this is not rational thinking.
The proof that this did not work (as if anyone needed it) is the fact that the national debt tripled during the Reagan Administration.

Get the Reagan Math mug.An underhanded way to avoid lying under oath. The term is derived from Ronald Reagan's comments and testimony during the Iran-Contra hearings. When asked difficult questions about his involvement in illeagally funding the Contras, rather than pleading the 5th he would just say "I don't recall."
Usually when someone refuses to answer a question during testimony they look guilty, Reagan just sounded like a dumbass. Was it just a scam or had the alzheimers already started to affect him?

When testifying during the senate hearings, Tony Hayward, was reaganing when he said he was "not involved in that decision," several times, rather than admit the truth: BP fucked up!

Get the reaganing mug.Misguided fools that don't understand what the American Civil Liberties Union is all about. The aclu defends people and organizations that face threats to their Constitutional Rights. The Constitution is meant to protect Americans from the powerful government, corporations and/or individuals. Remember everyone is created equal? The aclu takes on cases to defend people's civil rights, particularly those in the 1st Ammendment: freedom of the press, religion, speech and assembly.
ACLU bashers are usually just misinformed fuckwits, however some neocons actually are opposed to the idea of a group defending the rights of the little guy.

Assange considers espionage and cyber terrorism a good thing. He seems to think all government and corporate secrets should be exposed with no regard for who may be harmed or how many lives could be lost.
Wikileaks is damaging fragile international relationships that were on the mend after George W Bush left office. ASSange is arrogant, paranoid and dangerous to government and corporations worldwide!

Julian Assange has revealed U.S. Military and diplomatic secrets that could compromise the missions in Afganistan and Iraq and this could put our soldiers in danger!

Get the Julian Assange mug.Greedy banks often charge their customers a fee for anything and everything, however the ATM fee takes it one step further. With the ATM fee, banks can even rob, I mean charge fees, to people who don't even have accounts with them.
It is really fucked up that a bank can charge someone $2 to get access to their own money!

I refuse to pay an ATM fee to get my own money! If an ATM asks me if it's okay to charge me $2 to get my money, I say FUCK NO! and go to a free ATM.

Get the ATM fee mug.Fiscal responsibility is a term republicans pull out for campaign ads every election cycle. The G.O.P. claims to be fiscally responsible while claiming their Democratic opponents are not.
Obviously, the Republican Party has no idea what being "fiscally responsible" actually means! A budget should include adequete revenue (i.e. taxes) to cover all the obligations. Republicans think the only way to balance a budget is to cut taxes. Democrats, like Bill Clinton, know that cutting expenses AND increasing revenue is the only way to balance a budget. Democrats' tax and spend idea is a lot more logical than the Republicans' borrow and spend policy!
Remember that about 75% of our national debt was caused by the last 3 Republican presidents! (Reagan, Bush41 and Bush43) The last two times the national budget was balanced a Democrat was president!! (Lyndon Johnson 1969 and Bill Clinton 2000)

The tea party claims to be concerned about fiscal responsibility, however they didn't seem concerned about it when George W Bush was cutting taxes and running up huge debts while trying to fight two insane and inappropriate wars!

The Republican Attack Machine is going all-out to prevent Barack Obama from fixing the very serious problems caused by the arrogance and incompentence of the Bush administration.
For some sick reason, the Republican Party DOES NOT WANT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TO HAPPEN: 1) the Bush Depression to end, everyone to be able to afford health care, the american auto industry to survive, the working class to have any control over their own destiny, or Obama to succeed in any way!!!!
The G.O.P. hates Obama so much they are willing to sacrifice everything to see him fail!!!
The fact the Obama is the exact opposite of George w Bush (the worst president ever) it seems like he should be someone to be proud of and support.
It makes sense that there are so many Bush haters on UD, but why are there so many Obama haters here?
