Because Ol' Rat doesn't have the gumption to recognize we had no competition in the world then since it had all been firebombed in to a smoking pile of ashes.

When the US has to compete -- as we're now forced to do against countries like those in Scandinavia and China and India, and even F*ing Mexico as Donald Trump has pointed out, it is a different ballgame.

The economically stupid just cannot comprehend that the economic environment today is nothing like it was when "Ike's corporate rates" were in force.
