Top Right News ^ \| May 19, 2014 \| by Jason DeWitt First lady Michelle Obama wants students to police their families for any “racially insensitive comments” they might make, and to challenge those comments whenever they’re made, asking them to “drag” their presumably racist relatives into the “fight against racism.” Huh?

In 2001, America was experiencing the unprecedented triple shock of a recession following the dot-com bust, economic disruption due to the terrorist attacks of September 11, and corporate accounting scandals. Fortunately, the country was able to overcome these challenges, in part because President Bush's tax relief put more money in families' pockets and encouraged businesses to grow and invest. Following the President's 2003 tax relief, the United States had 52 months of uninterrupted job growth, the longest run on record.

It isn't impressive, given unemployment remains at 6.3%, with a massive increase in the participation rate which makes true unemployment in the 10-11% range. Six years into a recession. I'm not sure what proof you need that more regulation and big spending is not the solution to economic problems. At some point the argument just starts to look silly. It isn't going to kill to you admit you were wrong about something. It is an interesting thing that you and Koan just can't bring yourselves to admit you're wrong about anything.
