Michael Ramirez for July 25, 2011

MIght actually look at the fact that Reagan and “W” actually increased “big government” especially with political appointees to a far higher degree than those Ramirez and the blind accuse. Remember, “Homeland Security” only added 33 directorships and agencies. (Clinton actually reduced the number of federal employees.)

“There is enough blame to go around” in ObamaSpeak translates to “I’m guilty” in English.

The usual suspects, raising the debt ceiling to Heaven. Exactly, Mr. Ramirez…

Jack, Reagan has as much to do with the self-destruction and collapse of the Soviet Union as my dachshund. Russia has gone “Capitalist” with a capital “C”, and the Russian mafia has made hay of it. “W” STARTED two unfinished, costly, and senseless wars we did NOT have to fight. Which, is largely the reason our OWN union is in such serious economic trouble. The Obama plan for recovery includes minor increases in taxes, and spending cuts- the Republican plan just furthers the bankruptcy plan they started under Reagan, only the current crop is even dumber than under Reagan.

I don’t agree with Obama’s ongoing concessions to the Republicans, and Pelosi hasn’t done squat, and Reid is a closet Republican supported by the mining industry in Nevada, so- it’s difficult for this president to “give” us much of anything at the moment.

This works so easily by just replacing Obama with McConnell and switching the subtitle to “On Abortion,” or “On Marriage Equality” or “On Unions.”

Uh, jack, you ARE aware that the Reagan increases in “defense” especially things like the B-1 which Carter cancelled because it was junk (over half are now at Davis Montham) but Reagan reinstated, then there was “star wars” and other things that bankrupted us just as badly as Soviet’s much reduced spending. Then there’s that little element of we got to the moon first, but now we have to get Russian taxi service to the ISS. It wasn’t just the excess spending while cutting taxes, it was the fact we let infrastructure fall apart while a few defense contractors got very wealthy by selling the taxpayers pure junk- then throw in a couple wars with Halliburton and contractors being the only real “winners”.

Spending is pretty bipartisan.

The conservaturds go all the way bact to Carter – and Roosevelt.

Hey, when the facts point to Reagan and his followers, how come folks who give Moses all the credit for EVERYTHING, or oh, yes, that other guy 2,000 years ago took over the myths, get bent?

Well, thanks for exposing your perspective, Trout. Your postings make so much more sense now.

Buddha just makes more sense, and never asked anyone to give HIM their best stuff, or to kill for him, or to die for him, or to destroy the world for a “hook up” on a cloud in space, with virgins, OR their hearts desire! (That they couldn’t steal while on Earth.)

The universe where Reagan and Bush vastly increased debt by massively increasing government, while irresponsibly cutting taxes to unsustainable levels, grayhare. What universe are YOU living in?

There are no tax breaks for RICH folks, if the law says I can deduct it I deduct it, My airplane get written off because the law says I can, 5 years instead of 7 years, the Community Organizer, in the stupid Stimulus bill wrote it in, Why? to sell corporate aeroplanes, why should I not follow the LAW? Don’t blame me for taking the government at it word. You don’t like the law, change it, but DON’T ever tell me not to use it. Do you write off your home interest? I bet you do, Is that wrong, no law says you may so you do, don’t like it change the law, Bozo

Brilliant, Mr Ramirez! You are history’s greatest political cartoonist…both for insight and artistry. Thank you.

To Eryx: You’re probably a good person who means well. But when you attack Ramirez you are trying to go off the high board; with your talent you show stick to dog paddling in the shallow end of the pool.
