If liberalsim has undermined America, why do we have steady economic growth throughout the 20th century?

Answer 1

if the cons hate liberalism, why don't they do away with the communist liberal protectionist trade policies America practices, despite losing cases in the international courts. it seems some liberalism is good for the cons if it puts more money in their pockets. alot of that steady growth is financed at 29% and your dollar is way over valued, true growth has happened, but we are seeing a slow down in this growth, not just a spike but a gradual slow down.

Answer 2

We haven't had steady economic growth. That is unless you are one of those people who look at the Dow and see an trend. You people are funny!

Read about the 70's, inflation, Carter administration, early Reagen Admin, Black Friday, Housing bubble, .com bubble, every recession.....

You will see a patten of economic difficulty after or a the late stage of a liberal president due to the Keynesian effect. A resent example would be Clinton's economic policy and the Recession of 2001.

Answer 3

What does liberalism have to do with economic growth in the 20th century. 1st of all it is the 21st century now. Just because a group exists does not mean that they had anything to do with growth. That would be like saying that because there are chinise people living in your town your chinese food has started tasting better at home.

Answer 4

Just imagine how much stronger we would be without it. We are not in a great economic position because of Liberalism, but in spite of it. It is a true testament to the underlying core Conservative values at work in this country and it makes me proud to be an American every day.

Answer 5

Because we have a free market, free enterprise, conservative fiscal and conservative monetary policies, relatively low taxes.
Liberalism has been a pox on the US. Federal social programs are a drain on the economy. The liberal devil-dogs are Social Security, Medicare, Medicare drugs, Medicaid, HUD, Department of Education, Department of Energy. These programs all cost money and produce nothing...thanks to liberals.

Answer 6

economic growth is based on consumerism - so i don't know as economic grown is a true indicator of anything other then consumption or the ability of corporations to bulk the government aka us.

liberals greatest strength would be progressive thinking and humanity.

Answer 7

I'm sure Sodom and Gomorrah had great economic growth, up until the last day, they still burned.

Answer 8
