Reagan Insider explains how the GOP destroyed the US economy.
"How my G.O.P. destroyed the U.S. economy." Yes, that is exactly what David Stockman, President Ronald Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a recent New York Times op-ed piece, "Four Deformations of the Apocalypse."

Get it? Not "destroying." The GOP has already "destroyed" the U.S. economy, setting up an "American Apocalypse."

...

We've arrived at a historic turning point as a nation that no longer needs outside enemies to destroy us, we are committing suicide. Democracy. Capitalism. The American dream. All dying. Why? Because of the economic decisions of the GOP the past 40 years, says this leading Reagan Republican.

1. Hope Stockman stays away from small planes and isolated motel rooms.
I anxiously await the dark skeleton in his closet that will be revealed by the repukes any day now.

3. Wow.
This is important. If we can get the GOP to accept responsibility, we might be able to work together to find a way out.

5. that is a big wow
I can't fathom the GOP being truly confessional. Accepting responsibility is even harder than saying "I'm Sorry" for them.

6. Reading the responses, the denial is amazing.....
Someone even calls Stockman a progressive.

The new, nutty Right doesn't even believe its own people.
