Chapter 747: The Neglected Bush Family!

~,――~"What kind of cooperation?" Lin Yu wondered.

You must know that in the United States, the Democratic Party is Morgan's, and the Republican Party is the Rockefeller family, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

One of the two major political parties in the United States today, the other being the Democratic Party. Since its founding in 1856, the Republican Party has won 23 of its 39 presidential campaigns, including six of the last 10; Since then, 18 of the 29 U.S. presidents have been Republicans. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 as a combination of political forces opposed to the expansion of slavery at the time. In modern politics, the Republican Party is seen as a party of social conservatism and economic classical liberalism. George H.W. Bush and his son are both Republicans.

In Congress, the Republicans have lost more than the Democrats. The Democratic Party has held Congress for nearly 40 years, and at this stage, Congress was almost Democratic.

In 1980, Reagan's Reagan coalition controlled the entire 1980s, as the Democratic Party had lost the support of the majority of the socio-economic class. In 1984, Reagan won nearly 60 percent of the popular vote and won 49 state Electoral College votes. Mondale won only his native state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia, giving Reagan a record 525 electoral votes (out of 538). Even in Minnesota. Mondale also surpassed Reagan by only 3,761 votes, meaning Reagan came close to winning all 50 states.

Political commentators, for their part, have tried to explain why Reagan has gained such a large amount of support, using the term "Reagan Democrats" to describe those Democrats who chose to vote for Reagan. Reagan Democrats were originally Democratic supporters until the 1980s, but in 1980 and 1984 (and George? Herbert? Walker? Bush) chose to vote for the Republican Party, allowing them to win a landslide victory. Most of these Reagan Democrats are blue-collar people, live in traditionally Democratic areas, and are attracted to Reagan's social conservatism and hard-line foreign policy on issues like abortion. They ceased to support the Republican Party in 1992 and 1996, thus making them a peculiar phenomenon of the 1980s.

Reagan revolutionized American politics. He reduced income taxes by 25 percent, cut many onerous taxes, and tackled the stagflation that had been spreading since the 1970s, curbing severe inflation and recession. With bipartisan support, Reagan continued to deregulate commerce, eliminating almost all of the controls left over from the New Deal. In addition to social welfare. It was also with bipartisan support that Reagan overhauled the social welfare system so that it would not spend more than the government could control over the next 25 years, and resolved the impending financial crisis. Reagan called these policies the main reason why the U.S. economy began to recover vigorously in 1983 and 1984. Reagan consistently stressed his skepticism about the federal government's ability to handle the problem. Especially on economic issues, and on foreign policy, Reagan's hardline style did not enjoy bipartisan support at the same time. Most Democrats strongly oppose Reagan's aid to the Nicaraguan government guerrillas and Reagan's support for authoritarian governments in Guatemala, Honduras, and elsewhere. Reagan's hardline policy against the Soviet Union worried Democrats who wanted to abolish nuclear weapons, but Reagan succeeded in overwhelming the Soviet military balance by increasing the military budget and launching an active strategic defense program known as Star Wars. When the reformist Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, came to power, many conservative Republicans were incredulous about the growing friendship between him and Reagan. Gorbachev ended the arms race with the United States in an attempt to save the Soviet Union and (1989) loosened his grip on Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union finally collapsed completely in 1991. President George Reagan? Herbert? Walker? Bush tried to avoid flaunting the sentiment that the United States had won the Cold War so as not to damage relations with Russia, but there was a clear feeling in the United States that it was Reagan's hardline policies over the years that enabled them to win the Cold War. As one of Reagan's fiercest critics admits, "His greatest accomplishment was to restore Americans' self-esteem for themselves and their administrations, especially after the humiliating Vietnam War, Watergate, the defeat of the Iran hostage crisis, and several other incompetent presidents." Ironically, however, the restoration of confidence in the American people in their own government took place during a presidential term in which he had such distrust of the system of government.

George? Herbert? Walker? Bush lost the 1992 election to the Democrat's Bill Brown. Clinton. In the 1994 congressional elections, the Republicans regained their majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. It was the first time since 1952 that Republicans dominated both chambers, and over the next decade or so, the Republican majority was only briefly broken in the Senate in 2001-2002 and maintained until 2006. The recapture of Congress election gave Republicans the final upper hand in the legislature, as the Democrats had firmly controlled both presidents for four decades until 1995. Only in 1981-1987 was Republican-controlled Senate.

In the 1994 election, Republican congressional candidates presented a series of major reforms to the government, such as the Budget Balance Act and the reform of the welfare system. The Republican Party named the series of political ideas the "Contract with America" movement as the main thrust of that year's election. After the election victory, the Republican Party managed to pass some of these bills. But other bills, such as term limits for members of Congress, have been thwarted. Democratic President Bill? Clinton opposed some of the Republican Party's policies on social issues, but accepted a bill to reform the welfare system and balance the federal budget. This has led to a massive transformation of the U.S. welfare system. Conservatives support this, while liberals strongly oppose it. In 1995, a budget battle between the Republican Party and the Clinton administration paralyzed the federal government, but the negative effects of the incident allowed Clinton to be re-elected in the 1996 presidential election, defeating the Republican nominee for Senate leader Bob Brown. Dole's Rockefeller family, which had always supported the Republican Party, also lost a lot of benefits due to the decadence of the Republican Party.

David Rockefeller was born on June 12, 1915 in a family with the most influential surname in two centuries, the Rockefeller family. He is the third generation head of this economic empire.

As a descendant of the first family in the United States, David has access to the world's most influential economists, the most powerful families, politicians who have influenced the entire political situation in Europe and the United States, every American president, and has participated in many important visits that have changed the world pattern. He visited the former Soviet Union during the Cold War, had direct and sharp face-to-face exchanges with Khrushchev and Gorbachev, was one of the first capitalists to visit China in 1973 after the Sino-US relations began to thaw, and was also an international financier who had close contact with China at the beginning of reform and opening up and successfully carried out business activities.

As a student of Hayek and Schumpeter, and a classmate of the famous economist Samuelson, he had profound insights into economics, business management, and the impact of government, which also broadly influenced the direction of the American economy and policymaking. He redefined the identity of the entrepreneur as "an entrepreneur itself represents an opportunity to satisfy the human nature of invention, innovation, the pursuit of power, and gambling...... The fact that the pursuit of the process of achievement is a goal in itself is a goal for many people, and for whom profit is only a by-product of hard work," perhaps explains all that he has done in the use and creation of wealth.

Lin Yu did not believe that such a legend would make the Republican Party cooperate with him.

You must know that if you want to cooperate with Lin Yu, it is equivalent to giving up the interests you want to be a part of, which means that the Republican Party will no longer be exclusive to the Rockefeller family in the future, but will become the common product of Lin Yu and the Rockefeller family, which is undoubtedly unbearable for the Rockefeller family, and it is precisely because of this understanding that Lin Yu is a little puzzled about how the Republican Party can cooperate with him.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Bush Sr. said with a smile: "It's not so much that the Republican Party cooperates with you, but that I cooperate with you." ”

"How?" Lin Yu said with a smile.

"You should know the relationship between the Bush family and the Rockefeller family, and this time the Rockefeller family wants our Republican Party to make a deal with you, you have oil, minerals, we have dollars, arms, and this is our cooperation project."

Lin Yu frowned when he heard this, Lin Yu was still very clear about the relationship between the Bush family and the Rockefeller family.

Since Standard Oil achieved a monopoly in the early 20th century, the Rockefellers have been the most powerful family dynasty in the United States, far more powerful than any other family. It finances various satellite families as part of the so-called "East Coast Power Group" to advance their plans for power expansion. The Bush family is one such family. ~,――~
