This digital periodical will question the ridiculous nature of those in power constantly trying to convince us they have our best interests at heart. Thinking the worse about those you govern won’t endear them to you. Being fawned over by those with paid access is not flattery United States Senators and Congress members.
Manipulating the haters and the willfully ignorant among the citizenry to trouble people who’ve done them no harm blots your soul. Along with a myriad of lessons this world teaches you; I have witnessed God’s word in truth as he seeth that everybody’s day will come…
Article 12: President Reagan’s Inflation Ruse
For all who do not know what a ‘ruse’ is here is my definition. A ruse is: ‘a concerted effort to generate uncertainty about one or many things by not explaining, or explaining the subject matter in negative terms in order to conceal the true goal of a chosen outcome that benefits the alternative plans of one person, group or entity. Arousing discontent in the population with something if understood would not be seen as a real problem’.
Facts: President Carter took office after a recession. President Carter took control of an economy after the 1972 to 1974 rise of prices(inflation). President Carter took over after President Nixon wage price controls. President Carter deregulated the trucking and airline industries. President Carter deregulated domestic petroleum prices.
Now here’s the Reagan ruse. Ronald Reagan knew the price of goods and services directly correlates to wage growth. Ronald Reagan knew the news media of the time would not correctly report it truthfully. So who was to stop Ronald Reagan from saying are you better off today than you were four years ago? With that kind of so-called news reporting by leaving out important details or just not reporting the whole story by ABC, CBS, and NBC. How could President Carter counter that echo chamber?
Contrast that scenario with the economic climate of today circa 2024. There are a heck of a lot more ways to get your news, so the legacy media doesn’t have control of the narrative anymore to selectively report on what is actually happening in the economy. Just like those workers on strike from the hotel industry. They know the correlation to price increase and wage growth. That’s right! Workers now know if you’re going to raise prices I need my cut!
Just like I believed the interpretation by so-called men of faith for decades about what actually happened in the garden of Eden. It was simply a ruse by men to portray themselves as stronger in character when God asked his question separately to that ‘man’ Adam and to Eve. The truth is always there! We just have to have a truth teller say it.
Oh, by the way President Reagan had a recession in 1982. Unemployment was at 11% at one time before it came down. President Reagan did sign a tax increase in 1982. Yeah, your false God had his issues even though you Republicans want to make his presidency out to be as essential for our health as oxygen. It was not.
Remember, righteous people want the truth from people who claim goodness. I did not say perfection. Righteous people want the truth from good people.
Out of the two people running for President of the United States now. The good person is Vice President Kamala Harris.
Be well in truth.
